There’s just no other way to say it, I guess. She took off to Hawai’i with another man, and I’m sitting here in my apartment, all alone.
I guess I should mention that the other man is her father and she’ll be back Saturday, but I’ll bet you I got you to click on the link anyway, right? Feel free to punish me in the comments. I’ll take my beatings like a man.
First, we upgraded to 2.5.1. I hope you’ve all upgraded your WordPress installations.
Anyway, I have the place to myself this week and already it’s pretty damned weird to not have her around here. I wish I could’ve gone to Hawai’i, too, but I’d already taken too much time off from work in the past thirty days to get away with a whole week off like that. Plus, I’d just started the grave shift, so it would have sucked to suddenly take a week off on the on-call guy and make him suffer through a week of painful middle of the night calls because I wasn’t there to catch them.
Speaking of… it’s been going pretty good on the grave shift so far. I’ve been keeping to a strict schedule of sleep and exercise that my doctor recommended. Unfortunately, it also means that on the weekends, I have to keep to it as well. I only get two days off and it’s just not enough to right myself to a day schedule and then prepare for a night schedule in forty-eight hours. This makes participating in activities a little more difficult, and it always seems to result in people being pissed off at me for not going to parties or visiting. There are exceptions, of course, but not very many. Plus, everyone likes to get together at noon, which is thirty minutes after I go to bed. What? No more evening get-togethers anymore?
On the subject of evening get-togethers… I think it sucks that I keep having to cancel the monthly parties because people have better other things to do. By the way, on May 10th, we’re celebrating Julia’s 30th birthday. I sincerely hope that people will show up for it, because we’re holding it at San Jose Municipal Stadium this year and it should be a lot of fun. Get a hold of me if you want to go.
I leave you all with this little gem: Hard Candy. Rent or buy the DVD; you will not be disappointed.
