I’m going home now. I’m stopping to pick up lunch. Then I’m going to do a load of laundry. Then I’m going to pack. Then I’ll be ready to leave.
April 12th, 2002:
To Brad, Morgan and Zoe
I’m very sorry about not making it to the BBQ this weekend. Somehow I missed Zoe’s post regarding it, and therefore, also missed all 32 of the comments currently posted to that entry.
I want to go to the park. I want to BBQ. I want to see my friends. I want to fly kites and blow bubbles. I want to teach Zoe more Perl.
Had I known about it and informed you that I was going to be there, I wouldn’t have cancelled. But I truly had no clue until last night at 1am that there was a BBQ. I don’t cancel plans, or at least don’t make a habit of it. And, if for some reason I do, I have a damn good reason for doing so (death, sickness, employment, friends in emergencies, etc).
I don’t mean to hurt any of your feelings, or make any of you feel like I don’t care about you. Not that any of you have said anything to me to support that, I am just worried that you might be feeling that way.
I really want to go, and have been trying since last night to come up with a way to make all this work out. And maybe there is still a way. I just haven’t thought of it yet.
CLEAN!
One nice thing about today:
I have successfully cleaned out my mail box!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen. For the first time in over five years, my mailbox is COMPLETELY empty. I have no messages awaiting my response, and no tasks (represented by email messages) to complete.
It sure was a lot of work, but I finally got it done.
*sigh*
blow me up, blowmont
Justin, Joel and I are going to Blowmont tonight. Yes, it is spur of the moment. Yes, it is unplanned. Yes, I will be eating barbecued crab.
We will be leaving as soon as humanly possible. At the latest, 6pm. I’m going to try to get off work early, because I haven’t packed yet, and I need to either do laundry, or buy new clothes before I can go.
We will be coming home late Saturday night. Or, if we decide it is too late to drive home, then early Sunday morning.
I think there was some sort of barbecue/park/picnic type plan floating around that I have only indirectly heard about. I believe my indirect sources informed me that it was on Saturday. If this is the case, I will miss it. If it can be moved to Sunday, that would be great. If not, I understand that too, and I apologize for my indirect absence.
