So no matter how much I resist graphical smilies, prolonged exposure in one program or another inevitably makes one or a few of them become somewhat integral to my fidelity of my online communication. For instance, Skype has a couple that I would find useful for the following statements:

We just put a deposit down for an apartment in Foster City last Saturday (the 6th).

So that means this Saturday, we’ll be moving in: commence with the signing of the lease and the painfully hard work of buying and moving furniture.

(i especially enjoy situations in which i can use the latter one. makes me feel so cartoony.)

Maybe if I bury myself in my work, I won’t notice what I’m missing out on…

I’ve always taken the idea that you should STAY HOME while you’re sick very seriously. I remember getting pissed at ATDP students for coming to class when they’re ill, because not only are they prolonging their own recovery, they endanger all the other students if they come. (And I’m pretty sure someone got ME sick at one point, so now you’re even thwarting lesson plans!)

I never hesitated to stay away from my own classes, since I trusted myself to catch up as necessary. Somehow, though, it feels a little different, now that I’m working. I suppose the difference is in the fact that I’m actually getting paid (vs school, where I’m technically paying them)… so it feels just a tad bit more sacrilegious.

Nevertheless… I stayed home for two days. The first day because I was obeying the fever-after-24-hours rule, the second because I basically felt like even if I did go, I wasn’t in any condition where I would actually get any work done… so I may as well stay home and veg.

:D :D :D

My parents bought an avocado tree for the backyard. >_>

Just be yourself.

Because if they don’t want you as you are, then you don’t want to work for them anyway.

Right?
