you still won't hear me

Our work e-mail has been down all afternoon. The virus spreads.

I changed a few of the photos in my cube today. I have some hilarious photos of Gandalf that I got from Kathy. When I have my scanner/copier/printer, soon, I will scan them and make a big Laugh at My Cat post. He's so funny. This morning, as usual, he laid on the table while I ate breakfast. I got up for thirty seconds to tell Kathy something, and when I came back, he was drinking the milk out of my cereal bowl. It was a good thing I was finished. LOL. What a little moocher.

Being idle doesn't suit me. I've had a lot of relaxation time lately, which I'm grateful for, but it gets old. Last night I cooked a big frittata just for myself because I was bored and wanted to do something productive. Boy, it's going to be great when I'm living alone again. :P Anyway, I think I'd rather be tired with too much to do than sit around all the time. Soon my tutoring at Streets will start again- that'll help. Speaking of which, though, I was reading their newsletter and I realized I went about things all wrong last year. The other tutors really bond with their students. They hang out and take them to movies and shopping and stuff. I didn't do any of that with Yolanda, other than taking her to McDonald's a few times, and even then she didn't want to socialize, she just wanted to eat. It was hard to interact with her outside of tutoring. Granted, they gave me a "difficult" child, but I feel like I screwed up. I'm still going to volunteer again, but I wonder if I really should. If I don't do things the right way, I probably shouldn't be doing them at all.

Survey question (more for the single crowd): how do you guys feel about fix-ups? Are you opposed to them, or are you open to various methods of finding someone? I just want to see if I'm in the minority here. Sometimes I wish I really could go off to a convent. People can't seem to grasp the concept of wanting a relationship based on more than fuzzy feelings and a mutual desire to not be single. If seeking to love a person, not a concept, makes one a freak, then I guess I really am a freak. Okay, none of this is directed at any of you, so I'll stop now. :)

Four days until my birthday/Clay Day!
