Cheated Hearts

Back to work today. Weekend over. Slept ok. I think Bill went to sleep at 1:30 or so because that’s when I woke up and had difficulty going back to sleep. No need to take a Tylenol PM no mater what Lily Taylor says on the commercial. I did fall back to sleep soon enough and I am happy to report that I didn’t have any dreams involving me falling so there was no thrashing about and no hitting Bill in the middle of the night, much to his relief and mine. In a totally unrelated note I am trying for the umpteenth time to download the latest version of iTunes. It ain’t going well.

It was a Monday at work of course and it was quite busy. One of my assorted tasks is to book conference rooms, and today it was a free for all, not my doing. Just that people would book rooms then cancel without telling me and then the room would be vacant and if it was supposed to go to people at the time allotted and people were still in there the people who booked the room would take another room and if that was booked already….

It went on like this most of the afternoon. I told whoever wanted a room to go ahead and take it since we seem to be using squatter’s rights. That will change tomorrow, mark my words. Mark them!

The plan for an office party has been set forth and the party is planned for next Thursday, not the upcoming Thursday. I’m bringing Bill who will see the various personalities I work with. Of course they’ll be on their best behavior and not being the people they truly are in the office. It should be interesting, and having seen the menu I’m planning on grabbing a snack beforehand. Not a fan of seafood and shrimp cocktails, and I’m not a fan of cheese (unless on pizza). I’m sure they have Guinness though. Relatively sure, at least.

At the Save Darfur rally yesterday Bill and I walked through the crowd under a blue sky and lot’s of sun. Various speakers like Mira Sorvino spoke, and musicians like Suzanne Vega who sang some of her hits along with some new songs. She also sang ‘Luka’ and ‘Tom’s Diner’. She sand the latter accapella just like she originally did, the audience clapped along and Bill and I sand the dut dut doo doo parts on the chorus. That song is close to 16 years old. I was going out with Gus Mackenzie at the time. Crikey!

Seems like long ago. I ran into Damian, an old friend of Julio’s whom I see more often than Julio does. Damian’s a great guy, quite a handsome dude. He worked at McSwells occasionally and Julio busted me on the fact that I had the hots for Damian back then when he’d be wearing bike shorts that looked like he was squeezing 5 ponds in a two pound crotch. Ay caramba! Left nothing to the imagination. All the gay birds at McSwells were always so a twitter when he dressed like that. I was cool though.
