Oblivious

Well... there are a couple small topics to go through... but... i think the overall theme will speak to itself...

New Friends
-------------------------------
As you know... if you have been reading, I have put an ad out for new friends in Craig's List... and got some replies. Which I thought was nice... everyone was up to hanging out with me and chatted throughout the week... then came the weekend... nothing... no responses from anyone... at all... WTF!?!?!?!! I put my ad out askin people to hang out over the weekend... all of a sudden... no-one is around during the weekend? Not even workout guy... These guys are worse than my friends i have been complaining about!!!!! (only one of them actually said that this past weekend they had to do something else... just so you know... there is an exception to the rule... but still)

Abducted!
------------------------------
So... my plan was to get everything done on saturday... Laundry, work on my report some, and get packed... so sunday i could relax. So I get up and get an email from one of my friends who live in the building... he has also been traveling a lot and wants to do lunch at one.

I called him that i was going to be a little late but I was still interested. I also mentioned that I wanted to stay local, because, well... i had a lot of stuff i wanted to get done. He mentioned they were going to Sweet Tomato up by Perimeter Mall... (about 25 min away) it's a little further out than i wanted to go... but okay... I have been complaining about my friends not reaching out... how would i feel if when they DID... i didn't answer... plus... i had been missing them (even though my instinct was to say no)

so... at around 1:20 we left... and i figured... probably be back by 3ish... no problem. We all piled into one SUV (i kinda knew that could be a mistake) and went there... Sweet tomato was okay... nothing special... and it's getting towards 2:30. The driver said he wants to come back and hang in midtown, but he has to let his dog out of her cage. He lives in Alpharetta... (30 minutes the opposite direction) I am like... WHAT? but i am just a passenger. so i go along with it...

another 30 min out of the way to go let the dog out... we get to his place... hang out for like 10 min then leave... and i am thinking... finally... going home!

but no! One of the other friends in the car says he needs to go to his office for 10 minutes and can we drop him off... So i was like... his office is close... drop us off... but no... instead... we drop him off... and go on a driving tour of GaTech campus lookin for boys. I was in the back seat of the SUV... so i couldn't really just hop out.

10 Minutes turned to another 30... and now it's close to 5... we pick up my friend from his office... and start to drive home... but the driver starts to turn in the direction away from my building talking about getting drinks... I finally shouted out "HOME NOW PLEASE!" and it kinda startled him into turning the correct direction.

So finally... I am home... i put a load of laundry in... then get a call to come down to the pool... I figured... by this point... my day is shot... why not... so i went swimming till 9. Which is when they wanted to go to dinner...

I respectfully declined.

Airplane
------------------------------
It was one of the worst plane rides i have had in a while... coming back to california... I was stuck in a window seat... which i hate because i hate feeling trapped. To make matters worse... the vent was not working... which meant no air circulation... I also hate sitting away from the aisle because i hate getting up to have to pee and moving 2 people with their laptops and such... (i had to pee for the last 2 hours of the flight)

to make matters worse... the skinny bitch in front must have had baked beans for breakfast... because she wouldn't stop farting... I was thinking of mentioning the fact that she was the only one in 2 rows that had her seat back down... but... that would only add insult to injury... (ouch)


Project Manager
-----------------------------
So... i get to work yesterday and everyone on my team is out to lunch... i know where they are, so i go meet them there... The first thing out of my project manager's mouth... "I think you should just concentrate this week on getting your document done... you have a lot of work to do!"

WHAT? I thought the document was done... I answered all of the comments i got back and addressed them...

Well... apparently, he decided to look at the document this past weekend (he had it for 2 weeks) and made a TON of comments on it... I am thinkin... what a fuckin' jerk... so now... i have to re-structure and re-write the majority of the document...

I thought i was hired for techincal skills... these last 2 projects they put me on were essentially book reports. *sigh*


Oblivious
-----------------------------
So... when I go to, oh... let's say a resteraunt for dinner... i go there, eat, and leave. Such was the case last night when i went to Wahoo's (probably for the last time) and got my food, ate, and then left. It's not that i wasn't looking around or anyting... I just was... well... oblivious. But I did notice... as i walked out... a kinda cute guy was staring at me.... when i looked to meet him... he winked. But I was already out the door...

So... could it be that people do flirt with me and I am just THAT oblivous? (apparently... yes) (not to self... get a guide to flirting or something)
