Yesterday

Although I am quite sure everyone has remembered 9/11 ad nauseum at this point, I still wanted to make two small comments and then move forward. First, I watched about 10 minutes of the news in the morning highlighting the coverage from that day and thought I was going to throw up, so that was enough. The events of the day are still way too fresh, even for someone not directly affected. Second, one of my co-workers, who's then fiance, was killed in Tower 2, was out of the office yesterday to attend a service in NYC. When she and I caught up this morning, she was saying how she is so tired of being everyone's "link" to 9/11. I personally did not know anyone killed, let alone seriously affected in NYC or even here in DC. For the first couple of days following the attack, I would relay my story of how it took myself and several co-workers about 3 hours to get out of downtown, and then I was thinking of how lame that sounded in comparison to the tragedy that so many others faced. I decided that unless she ever wanted to talk about 9/11 again, I was not going to bring it up. At least I can be one link off of her chain to that day.

I had a meltdown at work on Friday and almost quit my job. Thankfully several gin and tonics later I was much better. And Be Bar was fun. I think the space is great and my friend and I walked over there from dinner in Logan. And apparently I was decent looking enough to actually get in the door, despite my earlier apprehension. I am sure it was the excellent haircut I had received earlier in the day and received a number of compliments on (Thanks Brennan!) Either I normally look like ass or this was a very good "do."

Finally, quasi-dating boy has been leaving me hanging recently, and I am not sure what, if anything, I am going to do about it. He wanted to get together last night with about 10 minutes notice, but I already had plans. He actually seemed pissed, although maybe that's me being dramatic. I asked him out for tonight and I guess he is pretty much booked through next week between work, travel for work and then a friend coming in to town for the weekend. I personally am going to read in to this as my kiss off, cause believe me...been there, done that. I will admit I am mildly disappointed; although he is far from what I would consider my ideal mate, he was definitely growing on me, and I thought I was growing on him as well. In a way, I think this is kind of his m.o.; he's a bit of a serial dater, but no real relationships. Oh well...onward and upward.
