waiter, there's a magnet in my cup

really, there was a magnet at the bottom of my o.j. this morning. it had fallen off the fridge and into the fridge but i couldn't find it, so i just shut the fridge door and went on with life. a couple of hours later i decided to finally drink the glass of o.j. that i'd left in the fridge for about 3 days and found the magnet.... at the bottom of my cup.

i'm pooped. all this getting up and going to work stuff is overrated, but necessary. the funny thing is, the hours are humane, so i'm not as exhausted as i used to be and i still have a lot of energy to do stuff which is new and funny-feeling. i was all set to sit on my butt all weekend and watch endless movies but i've actually been outside for most of the weekend, save this morning. (ok - i saw the new harry potter last night which ROCKED... run, don't walk and make sure you go pee before it).

so the job is good. i have some political issues with it, but overall it's a good job and i can translate my concerns into good community development. it's just a bit of a headache at times. the people are so friendly and fun, but they are recreational programmers and it seems like every sentence starts with "i was out for a run last night...." or "i'm on a soccer team..." which just makes me want to light up a cigarette while they're talking.

(i know... i shouldn't be so critical, but it's the first week and i'm just trying to suss out what i'm dealing with and how i'm going to operate in this group of folks. it's good but just a little different from the social justice framework that i'm used to living my life in.)

anyway, life's good - i just have to do some errands because i don't get to stay home tomorrow. and my mom is booked to come out for a visit and i am so excited.

random post for a random day and now it's time to buy some soy milk.
