(no subject)
Oct. 3rd, 2006 03:11 pmaieee i got a new key board at work last week and it has the mostly healed arms back in the land of super cranky. sigh. back to the old keys while they re-order a new ergo keyboard that will hopefully NOT re-injure me.
yesterday a conversation in fits and starts made me wonder if connection is about subject matter or just interpersonal chemistry. are we friends because we have so much to talk about all of the time, or because it just feels good to connect. always feels good to connect. does this make us closer friends or not since words aren't always easy in person. or on the phone. but they're always easy in text. or is this a byproduct of developing connections online... it's coming up in a few different friends for me. not bad - just curious making. i wonder how much of people are really them and how much i attach to them... interesting.
i go to see the closest friend in the east bay tonight. we fell away a bit recently. i have no doubt that reconnect will be fine though. with him it's the opposite. in person is the only way. online is just terse and not workable. he is not a man of text.
i want to email someone and ask them why. but it would be uncouth. but i want to ask anyway. does being inappropriate ever get you anywhere? or does it just make you weird and icky?
i am addicted to bubblemint gum. this is silly.
i am swamped to the point of distraction at work. meaning. all things that have nothing to do with work are pulling on my attention. this i find kinda funny. if it continues i will have to work so late on thursday that i will be sad.
