Blue Suede Shoes

The jerk upstairs (or is it a new jerk staying in the old jerk’s apartment? I’m not sure. The Upstairsian’s van isn’t there. But someone is definitely upstairs.) woke me up last night at 2:24. I didn’t get back to sleep until close to 4 a.m.. Needless to say, I’m tired. I’m on my way to bed now, and I wonder if I can just never get up… That’s not fair, though. I mean, really, I got a half-decent night’s sleep, and I don’t have to work tomorrow, so I can come home and nap if I so desire.

I may so desire.

Talking to Grammar off and on right now. Business has picked up again with him, for whatever reason. Meh. I think it’s pretty clear that he’s not interested in me, so I just enjoy the friendship for what it is. I’ve never really had to do that before – qualify my relationships with men, I mean. Into “this” category or “that” one.

I emailed K. today at the office… One of the sales guys had come by and made some comment to me about how we should just eliminate the product line that I’m still working on, because “we’re bad at it, anyway.” WTF am I supposed to say to that? Yes, yes, we should! Let’s just dump this product line, the line that’s keeping at least half a dozen or more people employed at the company! The one that’s busy enough it takes up half my week! So I just stared at him, sort of baffled by this comment. And then he accused me of looking like Homer Simpson, because my expression was simply no expression at all. I don’t think it was meant as a compliment. But after he left, I did laugh. And then I emailed K. to say that this moron had just compared me to Homer Simpson, and I didn’t know what to do with that, except I thought K. would get a chuckle out of it. I hope he did. More than likely he just stared in bafflement at his laptop, thus passing on the Homer Simpson expression. lol.

NJ called me again tonight. Less than ten minutes, on the phone with him. He’s good. I’m tired. My hands are shaking. Enh. I like him. I wish he was closer. I’m glad he’s not; we’d get in a lot of trouble together. Oh, but it would be so much fun!!

Talked to a customer today; I’ve chatted briefly with him before. This time, we were talking about the fact that I’d screwed up his quote (long story short, I changed my mind halfway through quoting him, but only changed half the information. Duh.), and he asked how old I was. Then he told me his birthday was on Saturday. Then we chatted about his plans for a bit, and then, before he hung up, he asked if I was on FB. When I said yes, he said he’d look me up. I said…”okay, you do that”. Brillant come-back, huh? *sigh* I haven’t heard from him, I have no idea what he looks like, and preliminary searches of his name didn’t turn up any astounding results for me. So, we’ll see what happens with that avenue.

Other than that, worked, and then worked some more. Rearranged some of CM, and I hope that the AMs like it. Though now I’m at the point where if they don’t like it and they change it, I don’t really care; I think what I did looks better than the way it was, so any change is an improvement.

All right, sleep time. Not proofreading – Chicago, ignorance is bliss if I made any typos, k? ;-)
