Re: Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable, pt B
KvP:
Two things happened today.
One, I learned more about my new job. My last job was a cakewalk, but this new job is going to be actual IT work. There are three teams, each with specific duties, to choose from. There's the server team, which handles all the campus network stuff. There's the security team, which handles malicious software protection and detection as well as Windows updates for all computers. And then there's the client team, which covers all the hardware and software maintenance and installation for all the computers. Unfortunately the client team is full (it's the team I would most naturally fit into). So by next Monday I'll have to choose whether to be on security or server duties. Server is the more difficult and technical of the two but is the one that would be most useful down the road. I'm going to get in touch with some friends in the IT biz and see what they think.
Two, I had a dream last night regarding my best friend. I dreamt that I saw her, and I told her my situation of the last few weeks, and it alleviated a lot of the ache of recent times. After work training today I decided against my feelings at the time to visit my favorite coffee shop. On the way out, I ran into my best friend. As some of you may recall, I got an email from another friend telling me my best friend's citizenship was in question, and that it had scuttled their Australia trip. That email also made it clear told me that under no circumstances was I to try and contact my best friend until sometime into next month. Turns out her citizenship isn't really in much trouble at all, thankfully. However, I don't think I was supposed to be told the specifics of the situation vis a vis her citizenship status. More troubling was the fact that she had not in fact insisted on being cut off from me until next month. In fact we've made plans for this weekend.
So it looks like the friend who sent the email was actively trying to keep me separated from my best friend, and lied about the circumstances surrounding the Oz trip cancellation to that effect. Why this was the case, I have no idea. I don't know why she'd write these things when they weren't true. She knows how much I care for my best friend and the good that she does my psyche. My best friend has insisted that I not discuss this with the offending friend, and that no one is in trouble, and that I have done nothing wrong (she knows how I think, and she knows I'd probably end up agonizing over something had she not taken this precaution) She is going to handle it herself. I don't know what to think about all this. I'm just confused.
So... developments.

Wow, your life is much more interesting than mine at the moment.
By the way, if I could make one minor suggestion, this may be paranoia talking but try and find out what is that's going on. There may be more to this than simply two friends falling out over specifics of a deportation agreement.

Fuck, I'm so tired and cold and exhausted and feverish that I can barely stay awake, but it's only 13:00, and I cannot go to sleep for another 4 or 5 hours without ruining any semblance of a normal sleep pattern. But I'm back in Trondheim and in my dorm room, which is nice and quiet, so that's good. Except now I have to actually go outside, where it's icy and wet and cold, if I want food. Food sounds overrated at the moment.
Crying babies on overnight trains suck. I like babies, I really do, but if I had a baby and had to take a train for 10 hours, I would pay extra for a sleeping compartment. Better for all the other passengers who might want to sleep at night and better for the parents, because the sleeping compartments are less noisy and more private, which I would assume was better for the baby.
allison:
I am still sick. I have a midterm today, and I am paranoid that my professor will not accept my doctor's note excusing me from taking the test. I am so scared I am going to fail this course, now.

dear blog thread.
yesterday i found out that the one time (many years ago with a friend in theatre and some of the cast and crew she worked with) i was balsy enough to go skinny dipping (in a lake that didn't get deeper than 2 feet for like 200 feet from shore - bad location) that among the people who saw me naked was one of the actors from battlestar galactica. i'm not sure if i've seen him naked or if he was one of the pussies who wouldn't take it all off. but he's definitely seen me naked. although he probably doesn't remember me either.
this makes me far more interested in catching up on all the BSG that i haven't seen yet. (not that i needed another reason.)
and i'm not really sure why, but this makes me feel very special.
cheers,
-mish
