Friday night blues

Excited to leave work and start the WEEKEND, I arrived home to an empty apartment tonight. My excitement diminished somewhat as I reconciled myself to the fact that I was on my own for a bit, as the roomates were out and not answering their phones. This is hard for me on fridays, because I want to be social! I decided I should be productive whilst waiting for the roomates to return. So far I have balanced my check book, written some bills, checked my empty e-mail inbox numerous times, hair-dryered my soaking wet mattress (I spilled a whole water bottle on it this morning), and eaten an entire bag of skittles. I'm ready for people time! Come home, roomates, and play with me!

You know you're bored at work when

You start typing with only your left hand, just to make the one task you have to do (that normally would take about 2 minutes) last as long as possible, because you have nothing else to do at work for three more hours........
What do you do when you're bored?

Looking for Interpretations

I was just washing my hands in the bathroom, when another woman came in and went into a stall. A couple of seconds later she said, "Save, save, and save again." I was the only other person in the bathroom. What was she talking about........and who was she talking to......?

A Day in the Life

(of Christina, Attorney-sitter extraodinaire) - do not confuse these real life events with something you may have seen in a sit com......
Part 1
Attorney: I looked for Mr. X's deposition folder where it was supposed to be with the rest of the file, and I just can't find it. Do you have it? Can you find it for me?
Me: No, I don't have it. If it's not with the rest of the file, I don't know where it is, but I'll look for it.
Two minutes later: I have located the folder in question - on the shelf with the rest of the file, and in alphabetical order exactly where it is supposed to be.
Part 2
Attorney: (frantically) I have a deposition in an hour and I can't find the witness folder! Where is it????
Me: I haven't seen it in months. I assumed you had it.
After four of us have been searching everywhere we can think of: The attorney finds the folder sitting right in front of her on her desk.

P.S. It was the same attorney both times.

Poem

A couple of friends and I have started a writing group, and have been meeting to share our work and give each other suggestions. I've been experimenting a little with some poetry, and thought I would post a little poem here that I recently finished. If you like, I will keep posting more as I finish them. :)

Puzzle

Broken
Jagged
Pointing to the

core that knows.
Does it show
me, or am I
waiting.

Mending
Growing
Not yet closing.

Will I hold
together,
clasping pieces

lost,
how they cost
dearly found
repaired.

Set-up Part 2

Apparently, yesterday was "Set Christina up day," because in addition to the work episode, a guy at the bus stop tried to set me up with his 41 year old co-worker!!! He even had a picture to show me! What's going on?

Set-up

I feel a bit like chattel right now. Apparently I have been "viewed" and approved of, and I think I might be back in junior high. Here's what happened:
I went to lunch as usual with my friend from work, and didn't think twice about riding the elevator with another co-worker and her son. I returned from lunch to hear the news that the whole thing was a set-up to try to hook me and my co-worker's son up! Everyone knew about it except me! I've been told (by Cathy the receptionist, who heard it from his mom, who I guess heard it from him - see the junior high aspect coming in here? :) ) that he might be interested and wants to know what I thought. What?! That's like the note: "Do you like me? Yes, no, maybe." Been there, done that, don't really want to go back.......Seriously, I might consider it, except that he's 38!! If you need math help, that is FOURTEEN years older than me! I can't believe this just happened! Oh the farce! Please tell you you all are getting as much of a laugh out of this as I am! :)
