Right, some typing.
– A while back I became aware that I was thought I was being there for my friends more than they were being there for me. I should stop now and say that this is entirely a reflection on me and not on any one of you. I realised in the past couple of days that I have actually not been there very much for some of my friends and I feel bad about that.
– I went to the pub tonight with Pat. Why? Well I felt like a night out and I enjoy talking to Pat. So we went to the Kensington where there was a leaving do on and joined up with some other work people after a while and had a good night.
– Pool was good and not so good today. Undefeated in 4 games at lunch time but not so good in the evening where with effort Pat and I evened up in doubles but he beat me in two single games.
– Kronenberg have just launched Blanc, a white beer to test and we drank that for the night. Expensive, heavy but really really nice.
– Flirted somewhat successfully (?) with the girl behind the bar in the Firkin at lunch.
– Flirted somewhat successfully (?) with the girl behind the bar in the Kensginton tonight.
– No travel for me this month. I was pretty much due to be in Dulles for two days in a couple of weeks but I so did not want to go. It was a horrible project and a horrible commitment and I so didn’t want it, I’m a little disappointed as a few days extra there would have been really great but I can’t be too upset, I’m damn happy not to go. (Sorry Mary, but it would have made me miserable for months.)
– I like my new boss, first impressions are good. I’m looking forward to getting to know him more.
– I’ve pretty much said everything I had planned on typing so the rest is random.
– Crossposted from the V. Thread context is school, cool kids and libraries.
Back in Dublin when I was in first – third year I worked in the school library for lunchtimes…by choice.
Two reasons
1) I loved reading and I couldn’t afford books all the time, working like that let me take out as many books as I liked.
2) The girl who I really really really really liked but typically managed to subsequently fuck things up with worked there at lunchtimes and back then spending any time with her at all was a good thing.
I do have some good memories from back then.
