i'm so glad the week's over. indigo drives me nuts sometimes. today, she told me to cut out a lot of the work i did last week. not because it wasn't good or anything like that - she just decided that those topics (absolute value equations and inequalities). shouldn't be included. funny, because she's the one who put them in the outline. i don't know why she took them out, they seem like important algebra topics to me. and i had spent all that time making number lines damnit!! it pisses me off that i have no say in the matter...she didn't ask me if i thought we should take them out, she pretty much ordered me to do that. and like, i don't know - shouldn't she ask the bosses before she makes a decision like that? it just irritates me how she works and makes these decisions without really consulting with anyone ...it's not like we ran out of time to add something in. i had done practically all the work for it. she just didn't want to "give them a bunch of different types of equations to solve". um, isn't that how people learn algebra? by solving different types of equations? i don't understand her thought process at all. i can't wait until she leaves...i hope they hire someone else soon, someone nice. and normal.
what i hate the most is that indigo doesn't seem to think that i'm capable of doing her job. (which is funny because i don't think she's capable of doing her job) she was talking to peter today about how they really need to hire a designer soon. but like, anyone who comes in is going to have to learn their style and instructional method...at this point, i know a lot more about that than some other person who comes in. but then what? that person will surpass me to become the designer while i'll still be an intern for another few months? it kinda pisses me off, you know? anyway... just needed to get all that off my chest. don't want to dwell on it over the weekend. 
i went to see "about a boy" after work...i liked it. it was much better than most of the other movies i've seen lately anyway. i know some people don't like hugh grant, but i think he's funny and a good actor and...i don't know...i find his movies appealing. anyway, then we went to cancun taqueria and i stuffed myself. ate way too much. i saw this guy there who looked really familiar and i can't decide if he was a former TA or this guy i went out with once...or maybe he's just some random guy i've never met who reminds me of those two people...well anyway, it's not important. it's just that it's been so long since i've even noticed anyone even remotely attractive. was beginning to think something was wrong with me. but maybe i just haven't been looking/paying attention. i don't know. i'm really tired, ignore my babbling.
oh, and then we went to ben and jerry's and hung out for a while. i don't know what it is about that place, i can just sit there for the longest time and people watch. i once spent 3 hours there (long story), basically just chatting and eating ice cream with some people i didn't even know. anyway, i'm so happy tomorrow's friday!!!!!!!!

just read about the NCAA sanctions against cal. by now i'm too jaded to even complain about it or argue or get mad...
it's funny when you look at who was on the committee - people from Miami, Alabama, Nebraska...i wonder what michigan will get slapped with. better be more than the usual slap on the wrist. this is what pisses me off the most about college athletics - way too much corruption. it's sad that it's become this way.

i meant to go to bed right after i wrote that, but i'm still up.
my cousin's on the phone with her very-long-distance boyfriend, and i'm so envious...sometimes i just wish i had someone to talk to every night like she does...doesn't even have to be a boyfriend really...just want someone to listen to me, even though i don't really have anything to say. blogging helps a little, but it's not the same...*sigh*....

i was miserable at work today....really didn't want to be there...and then when i was leaving bernie told me not to look for other jobs because he wanted me to stay there. what the hell am i supposed to say? he was like "you're still having fun here right?". uh, no. no i'm not. in fact i'm kinda bored out of my mind here boss. and i'm doing stuff that is very different from what i want to be doing. i realize i have to be patient, but i just don't think this is the place where i'm going to get to do the type of work i'm interested in doing...
so...i'm sure i came across hesitant when i told him i would stay there. if not like i was straight out lying. but i don't care. i don't have any other job prospects, so for all i know, i won't have a choice. anyway...you know what i noticed today? indigo doesn't shave her armpits. it's kinda gross. i don't care how much of a feminist she is, it was bad. bushy even. if she's not going to shave it she should at least keep it covered up, you know?
Monday, June 24, 2002
i don't want to go to work tomorrow : (
why must the weekend be so short? i'm not ready to go back there!!!!...ugh, and indigo and everyone will be back from their meetings...i probably won't get to slack off as much as i did last week... i'm starting to think norah jones is being way overplayed. i really like her, even listened to her little concert thing on kfog tonight. but don't know why is being played constantly on alice...seems like at least once an hour or so...it's on right now... alice has also been playing tainted love too much lately, has anyone noticed that? now, that's kinda random because it's an older song. i like it, but there's no need to hear it everyday.

i'm in one of those moods...kinda restless...bored...don't know what to do with myself...
don't feel like reading. don't feel like watching tv. don't feel like surfing the web. don't even really feel like blogging, but i'm doing it anyway just because the only other thing to do is go to sleep, and it's too early for that. thought about having a snack, but i'm not hungry. not even in the mood for ice cream! man, something's wrong with me.
so i didn't go to the dinner that amy planned...she's probably a little pissed about that...i just didn't feel right leaving norma to sit here all alone. she was forced into coming up because her ex wanted her to sign some papers, so it's just kind of putting her in a bad mood. i get the impression she'd rather not have to see him or talk to him because she's still very hurt inside...misses some things about him, and it pains her to be around him now...anyway, so i felt like i had to stay with her to help get her mind off of all that shit, at least until my mom comes back (tomorrrow).
divorces suck. i hope i never have to get one.
i'm pretty exhausted, but still up...i think it's because tomorrow's saturday and i get to sleep in. yay!
anyway...i didn't write about the houston trip yet, did i? it was basically a big family get-together on my dad's side...not everyone could come - that would be insane. but all 10 of us from california went, and one flew in from boston (but he doesn't count because it's his family that is in houston). anyway, his brother just graduated from med school and got unofficially engaged, so that's why we all went there. it was supposed to be an engagement party, but that had to be postponed due to a death in the fiance's family. so it ended up being just a really big graduation party. it was kind of insane with 14 people staying in one house. no one was willing to stay in a hotel or whatever...everyone just wanted to be where the action was : ) it was fun to have us 6 cousins together...it's been several years since we have all gotten together like that...and now we're all old enough that we have stuff in common. before, it always felt like someone was too young or too old...but now, we're all adults (well, childish adults). so it was cool just hanging out with them and laughing and talking about relationships and what not. unfortunately we didn't really get to spend much time with the cousin who just graduated because he had to leave to start his residency. he's such a sweetheart though. i wish i could have had more time to talk to him. about 6 years ago we were vacationing in india together...it was so much fun, we totally bonded. but didn't really stay in touch for long when we came back. too much distance, plus we were both busy with school. it's weird, i just feel really connected to him even though i don't really know him all that well...as soon as i saw him, i just started beaming and gave him a big hug. i just feel happy when i'm around him...if i could choose someone to have as a brother, i'd choose him. he's just amazing and i'm so, so, so happy for him. i really wish we had a closer relationship. i don't know how to explain it really... anyway...on our last night there, his fiance spent the night with us too. so we kept her up talking until oh, 6 AM or so. it was crazy. she probably thinks our family's nuts. but she's pretty cool. no complaints. i don't know how they're gonna do the long distance thing while he's doing his residency...she got him a cell phone for his graduation gift, so i guess that will be a large part of it. there were other little things i wanted to blog about while i was there, but maybe some other night...overall it was fun, that's the main point. and we'll probably do it again for the real engagement party, and then again for the wedding...man, i gotta buy more indian clothes, i don't know what the hell i'm going to wear to these things...

they're dropping like flies!!!
sunshine announced her resignation today. she's the friendliest and bubbliest person at work, by far. it's going to be all miserable and depressing now with all these people leaving...all quiet and shit... anyway... norma just flew up from mexico and she needs to stay at my mom's, but no one's there, so she's going to pick me up tomorrow so i can let her in. which solves one problem because i needed a ride home anyway, to get my car back. so i might go to the dinner in fremont from there, or i might hang out with norma if she seems like she needs the company. i feel a bit rude leaving her all alone in the house. why did my mom and my aunt both go out of town so suddenly? and why did norma come up so suddenly? strange. now i fell like taking a spur-of-the-moment trip somewhere too!
i should go to sleep. don't feel like it though. i'm tired, but...i don't know...i feel like there's stuff i need to do, but i don't know what...
anyway... i should go have dinner with some people on saturday, but....i kinda don't feel like it...i feel bad because they've been emailing for the past month trying to find a date that everyone could make. (well actually everyone can't make it, but some of us can, so we said we would). i know i should go, it'll be fun. but...well, when i agreed to go we were going to zachary's in berkeley (really good pizza for those of you who don't know)...but now they're going to olive garden in fremont. now first of all, i tend to avoid fremont as much as possible because it's...fremont...and second, olive garden? please. they changed it because zachary's is really crowded. but olive garden? not exactly what i consider a fun place. maybe it's just me. i don't know. don't particularly want to drive all the way to fremont just to go to olive garden with amy and a bunch of people i don't really know too well...yeah, i'll have fun with them anyway because i am easily amused and they are friendly people, i'm not saying this has anything to do with them. just wish they hadn't changed the damn location!!!
today pretty much sucked. you know that one guy at work who is nuts and goofs off all the time? i think they fired him while i was in houston. he came in today to pick up his stuff. high, i might add. anyway, i had no idea, so when he said bye to me i was totally in shock. i barely know him, but he's grown on me so quickly and i feel really sad about him leaving. the only day i had fun at work was when i was working with him! now what? it'll be 10 times more boring without him there. *sigh*...i realize that he was kinda flakey and fucked around too much when he should have been working, but i mean, every office needs someone like that! i'll miss him a lot...
anyway...side note to anyone who uses director: it's capable of shuting itself down without notice so save your work every 5 minutes!!! i learned this the hard way of course...i think i had about 2 hours of work done this afternoon...didn't bother to save anything because, well, i'm just not in the habit. i was doing something with a graphic when all of a sudden the whole damn thing disappeard from the screen. no error message, no dialog box asking if i wanted to save changes, nothing. it just closed itself and disappeared. i thought i was losing my mind. anyway, so of course when i opened it back up, everything i had done was gone. so that pissed me off. i was too embarrassed to tell anyone because they'd probably think i was stupid for not saving my work. well, i was. but now i know. i'll be saving everything constantly from now onwards. yup.
Wednesday, June 19, 2002
i actually fell asleep at work today. i knew i was sleepy, and i didn't do anything to stop it from happening. i let myself close my eyes and drift off for a while...don't know exactly how long it was...no one said anything, but i'm guessing a couple people must have noticed. i don't care. i was bored as hell and it was after lunch and i needed a nap damnit!!! we have a shower there, why can't we have a nap room?!?!
anyway. i'm just really frustrated with work because they've got me doing stuff that i really don't want to do. and the stuff that i do want to do, i have no control over and no say in what goes on...it's so irritating to have to sit there without being able to voice my opinion on certain matters. i want to be a manager, that's my new goal. ok, i know i can't go from intern to manager directly, but...i mean, eventually, i would like to be in charge of wherever it is that i'm working. most of the people are out of the office this week, in meetings with some of the universities we are working for. apparently, it's not going too well. i didn't hear exactly what happened, but i get the impression that they harshly criticized a lot of the stuff. probably grilled indigo about some of her decisions. i don't blame them...i've been feeling that indigo has way too much decision-making power and design power. no one really disagrees with her, they just let her do whatever she thinks is best. i don't like places that work like that. i think you need to have a group decision, at least 2-3 people, when you are selecting what topics to cover and how to teach them and it what order. can't just let one person run the show because chances are that one person isn't going to have the best ideas all the time. and don't even get me started on peter. i have a bad, bad feeling about the stuff he's working on right now. i mean, someone needs to bluntly tell him that what he's doing isn't working and that he needs to do it differently. anyway...i'll write more about the houston trip some other day. just needed to get all this work-related crap off my chest tonight.

i'm getting totally late, but really quickly:
i hate what i had to do at work today. i'm going to hate what i have to do next week even more. i'm sick of indigo's canadian spelling!!! the product is going to be used in the US. we should use american spelling and grammar damnit!! sean was out at a strip club the other night. why am i not surprised? i hate hate hate packing. especially when half my clothes are at home and half are in my apartment. why does it have to be so damn hot in texas? i don't like hot weather. i don't like people looking at my damaged skin and asking "what happened there?". i also don't like feeling weird when i'm the only one covered up. ok...i gotta finish packing now. i hope this trip goes ok.
in case i don't get time to blog tomorrow, just wanted to let you know that i'm heading to houston for a few days...i'll be back on sunday night.
it's going to be sooooooo hot there. i hate hot weather : (
Tuesday, June 11, 2002
had a going away party for kate today...all the office folks went to my dad's for dinner...i wished i hadn't driven, could have used a couple more glasses of wine...anyway, it was really good. i think bernie was the only person who didn't enjoy it...but i think it's because he's depressed about having to watch his cholesterol...i told him to order the fish, but he didn't listen!! not my fault...i had the fish and it was delicious. he had lentils instead, also good, but...he doesn't seem like a lentil person. anyway...i got there a little after everyone else (because i walked back up to my apartment to get my car, while everyone else went straight from work). so there were no seats left on the "young/fun people" side of the table and i got stuck sitting next to the older people/bosses and the annoying graphic designer, who actually spoke to me today for the first time. i still don't like him though.
i hate it when i get all excited about something and then it doesn't happen.
i was really in the mood to talk to sean today (i haven't spoken to him in several months) and he gave me the number for the hotel he's staying at and told me i could call him tonight. but when i did he wasn't there : ( he does that a lot. i don't think it's intentional (at least, i hope not). he's just kinda flakey about stuff like that i guess. i don't know. maybe he went out or something. i was irritated, but i should have known better than to get my hopes up...sometimes i just remember the good ol days when i would be one of the first people sean would call...and now he doesn't really call me at all anymore. so i get a little sad. but whatever. i don't think i'll call him again for a while. depends on whether or not he apologizes tomorrow. you know how there are certain people that you just can't stay mad at? i can think of 2-3 people i know...sean's definitely one...i mean, when i think about it, there are so many things about him that bug the hell out of me. there are so many reasons why i shouldn't bother to even stay in touch with him. but he usually makes me forget about all that.
Monday, June 10, 2002
i've had stuff to say, but i wasn't in the mood. basically, there was an incident with my mom yesterday. worse this time because it was in public and involved her threatening to kill me. yes, people actually turned and stared at us. i was too pissed off to be embarrassed, but i kept my cool. ignored her as much as i possibly could. she was really moody in general this weekend.
anyway...she called me tonight and started crying and apologized for taking shit out on me. she said that she thinks she's really sick, but she doesn't want to go on prozac again...had some sort of breakdown over the phone. i didn't know what to say. then she got off to collect herself. i feel bad, i really do. i want her to get better. but the fact is, she needs therapy. lots of it. she can't keep taking out her anger on the people around her. it's just not right and it's not acceptable to me.
Friday, June 07, 2002
finally the weekend...
i've been in a good mood at work the past couple days. i think it's because i've been goofing off a lot with the biggest slacker in the office. he's such a weirdo. but he makes me laugh. my cousin slept over last night and i was up until 1:30 helping her with her personal statement. i seriously think i should charge people for that. i feel like i had something else to say, but i don't remember now. i'm tired. going home-home.
Thursday, June 06, 2002
i'm so tired...walked a lot today...mostly uphill it seemed...you know, it's just not fair that i walk uphill both on the way to work and on the way back. more so on the way back, but there are definitely some uphill parts on the way there as well. i think i'll try another route tomorrow to avoid that. anyway, in addition to that, i also went in search of algebra books with indigo. first to barnes and nobles, then to some store on bancroft, and then all the way to cody's, and then back across campus to the office! that's a lot of walking. and it was so hot today. my legs are going to be killing me tomorrow.
bernie got kinda pissed at peter today. he was seriously foaming at the mouth. it's so gross. i've never met anyone who foams at the mouth before. anyway, he's basically going to re-write everything peter did because he thought it was terrible. and i agreed with him. peter kept trying to get me to say that it was ok and to calm bernie down. but it wasn't ok...what am i supposed to do? lie? just so peter can keep this job that he sucks at? he actually suggested that he should quit...i don't know if he was seroius or not. it's like him being there is slowing things down a lot because he doesn't know what he's doing. that could be me in a couple months. i think i'm better than he is - i hope i am - but it's scary to think of the pressure i might be under when they fire peter.
Tuesday, June 04, 2002
seema went home again because she has another appointment...i don't mind being alone, but...i have no food. since there wasn't any room in the refrigerator, all i bought on sunday was pasta and frozen pizza. i had pizza yesterday, and i ate pasta for lunch today. don't feel like having it again. if seema's ex-roommates don't come pick up their food soon, i really am going to eat it. or toss it out so i'll have room for other things.
anyway, work is slowly getting better. at least i wasn't totally bored today. and i think i'm getting on bernie's good side, though he still makes these sarcastic remarks sometimes...i really don't know how to take it when he does that, because it sounds like he's saying to me "of course you know everything, you have a master's degree!" when in fact he's thinking "master's students don't know anything!". we were going over stuff that peter had written, and it was really bad so bernie started throwing a fit. i couldn't take it anymore, so i started helping out and telling peter how to change it. just to shut bernie up a little and make peter feel less tense. i don't know how peter feels about me helping him. but bernie seemed to trust me more than peter. unfortunately it was like 6:30 and we still hadn't finished, but i wanted to get the hell out of there. i wonder if they got everything done without bernie having a heart attack or peter having a nervous breakdown...
i think i figured out why my bathroom wasn't clean - no cleaner left! there was a can of scrubbing bubbles and a some tilex lying around the bathroom, but when i tried to use them i realized they were both completely empty. i have no idea why they hadn't been thrown out. but anyway...i'm trying not to be picky, but you know, it's kind of weird when other people live in your place for 2 years and then you move back in, because you expect things to be the same, but they aren't...now, i'm not a neat freak. my apartment in michigan was a complete disaster most of the time. but when i lived here i always tried to keep the kitchen and living room tidy, and almost all of the roommates i had did the same. our rooms were another story, but those common areas were always ok. so, it's just strange for me to be here now that seema's roommates have changed everything...it just seems so disorganized...i have no idea where stuff is...and there just seems to be a lot more junk lying around in general.
i'll get used to it i guess...and after seema moves out, i'll change everything back to how i want it. i'm going to bed now, got a headache. didn't sleep too well last night. did i mention my bed squeaks? and it's too small. i think i'll buy a new, bigger one in a few months...i need some room to toss and turn.
Monday, June 03, 2002
i am so out of shape.
realized that while i was attempting to walk back uphill from work. it took me 15 minutes to walk down there this morning, and a little over 25 minutes to come back up. ok, technically i made an out-of-the-way detour to walgreens to buy some soap, and it took me 25 minutes from there. i think my office is closer than walgreens. but still...i really don't think it used to take me more than 20 to walk up from that area. but it's ok. it's good actually, i need the exercise. i think i might take the shuttle every other day though, until i get used to it. it was really nice sleeping in until 8:30 this morning...and it's nice to have some alone-time. (seema went home because she has an appointment tomorrow morning.) seema's ex-roommate is supposedly going to come pick up the rest of her stuff and clean out the refrigerator in a couple days. she's kind of a flake though, so who knows. i'm thinking about eating some of it. i don't know what the deal is with my bathroom. doesn't look like anyone cleaned it in the past 2-3 weeks. seema said she was going to do it last week but didn't have time. i didn't know whether that meant she would clean it now that she does have time, or if i'm just supposed to clean it myself when i want to. i mean, what was i supposed to say? she's my cousin so i don't feel like making her clean it. it's not really disgusting-messy, just not completely clean...fuck it, i'll do it. it won't take long. there's also a leak under the sink. i can't believe seema didn't notice it, because it's pretty obvious and looks like it's made some damage in the cabinet. oh, and we have some wood panelling in the living room, and they stuck nails into it!! to hang a frame that they could have easily put somewhere else!! it looks like they had other stuff there too. there's lots of holes in it. i wouldn't mind if it was in the wall, but it'll be hard to fix the holes in the wood. don't think you can just paint over it...*sigh*...silly college kids...i kept this place so nice and clean while i was living here and they ruined it!!!
okie dokie. finally settled back in my old room in berkeley. well, sort of. i haven't really unpacked much. and i forgot to bring soap, of all things. great, huh? if i don't want to be stinky tomorrow, i'm gonna have to borrow some of seema's shower gel, but 1) she'll be taking a shower at approximately the same time as me (we have separate bathrooms), and 2) i'm probably allergic to her shower gel. so in addition to whatever it is that i'm allergic to at work (i sneeze everytime i walk in), i'll also have to deal with being scented myself.
speaking of allergies, i had a huge attack today. it was miserable and my nose wouldn't stop running and i was sneezing like crazy. finally i took some extra strength actifed, which put me to sleep an hour later. and actually i'm still feeling kinda grogy from it. so, i'm going to bed now.
Sunday, June 02, 2002
moved most of my stuff over to berkeley...my mom was being totally rude again, but i did my best to ignore her. mostly because other people were helping me and i didn't want to make a big scene. anyway...the apartment is a bit messier than i assumed it would be. not my room really, but the kitchen and hallway closet are totally cluttered. i thought they'd be cleaned out by now. i think a lot of seema's roommates' stuff is still there, even though technically they were supposed to be done moving everything out by friday or saturday...there are tons of flowers, which aggravated my allergies...and the refrigerator and freezer are completely packed, so i won't really have much room to keep any food i buy...i'm a little annoyed about all that. have a feeling i'll be cleaning all week. but whatever. i've had enough of living at home.
Saturday, June 01, 2002
aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
sorry, my mom's driving me nuts. we just went over to berkeley to drop off some of my stuff. she had been in a reasonably good mood all day, but it's like as soon as we got there she got really pissy. you probably know by now how her blood boils whenever my dad's side of the family is involved. i'm going to be living with my cousin seema this summer, and seema's mom is one of those people who really get to my mom. anyway...seema wasn't there today, but i guess just the thought of me living with her sparked something...my mom just got so - well, crazy is the word i used. i don't even know how to explain it. so now she's back to being mad at me again and starting fights about every little thing and being rude in general. i have so much i need to do, and it's stressing me out. i still need to move some more stuff, and i have to go shop for some things. and now that my mom's being the way she is, i definitely want to move out tomorrow. which doesn't give me much time. *sigh*...
i should go to bed but i feel like writing more...i think it's because i haven't been blogging as much as i used to. i miss it.
i've been blogging for a little over a year now...didn't say anything mushy on my blogiversary, but i really am glad that i started one. i think it's helped me feel like i had someone to talk to. if you know how lonely i've been over the past year, that's something i really needed. and i also feel like i got to know some new people, even though we haven't met or anything. on the down side, there were 3 blogs that i used to read everyday that suddenly stopped or moved or disappeared completely...that was kinda harsh...sometimes i find myself wondering about those strangers...feel like i knew them, and maybe i did in a way. it's strange to not know what's going on with them anymore. advice to bloggers: please don't suddenly stop writing. people get attached. they worry about you. but anyway...first of all i want to thank milly for starting her blog, because i probably would not have even known that blogger exists if not for that. and of course, i'd like to thank those who leave comments - imelda and dan in particular - because it's always nice to know that people are reading and are paying attention to what i say...to any other readers i have who are quiet and don't leave comments, i appreciate you too. i hope that i'll still be blogging years from now, and that i'll be able to look back at some of the stuff from this past year and laugh...you know, all those posts about me being driven insane by ladybugs...or the ones about silly projects for school that i got so riled up about...or my cooking disasters...or...well, how nuts i was in general... that about sums it up. i'm going to bed now.
got the keys to the apartment. but...i don't know if i'll actually move in this weekend. i'll probably get some stuff over there, but not everything. whether i sleep there sunday night is kind of up in the air. i'll see how much i get done tomorrow. based on how tired i've felt the past few saturdays...well, i don't expect much.
anyway, i got my first paycheck today. the first thing i thought when i saw the slip: "damn, i forgot about taxes!". bernie was talking to me about something he wanted me to work on with him down the line, and he asked me "you are staying on after your internship is over, aren't you?" i was caught off-guard by that question. i stammered a bit then said yeah. sure. uh-huh. in truth, i don't know yet. i'll see how the next few months go and then think about it. i guess i just don't understand why he gave me a 6-month "trial" when it only took him one month to decide that he wants me to stay on permanently. anyway...he assured me that my salary would increase if i did stay on (no way in hell i would stay here if it didn't increase). oh, and i think they're gonna get rid of peter. i was trying to listen in on a conversation, but they were speaking quietly so i only caught bits and pieces. from what i understand, they were going to fire him now, but since his life is in shambles and no one's really sure how he would handle losing his job, it seems like they are going to keep him for one more month. he's a nice guy and they just feel bad for him...they want him to do his work better, but they understand that he's really fucked up right now and is having problems concentrating. they are going to talk to him though and try to make sure he understands that he has to shape up... i don't like his work, but i kinda want him to stick around...he's basically the only person in the office who has conversations with me. it was a bit annoying at first how he kept checking up on me, but now i think it's nice...he's just a sweet person, and he's the only one there who would notice when i'm leaving and yell out "have a nice weekend anita!". i kinda like that. kate is leaving in a few weeks...i don't think i've mentioned her...she's nice too, but very mellow...and her boyfriend who also works there is very mellow as well. they're just so quiet and calm...but kate wears a huge black trench coat everyday. even when it's hot out. she roams around the office in it sometimes. actually, i think she has more than one of them. i don't have a reason for bringing this up, it's just something i've observed. i don't know why i'm babbling about the people in my office...my point was, if kate and peter are both gone next month, it will be very different...i guess there is that new designer who'll be starting soon. i don't know what he's like. i hope he's nice. and not too weird. and not depressed.
