I'm not in a good mood today. There really isn't any particular reason why. I didn't go out last night so I'm not tired or hungover. Well, there are a few things bothering me...
Today I got an meeting announcement via e-mail saying that I have a one-on-one meeting with my boss's boss (the head of the engineering department) tomorrow at 11:00am. I'm 95% sure it's going to be a "just wanted to make sure everything is going well" meeting, especially since I've been here almost exactly 3 months now and I haven't really talked to him since I was hired. But then there is that 5% of me that is continually paranoid. Maybe I'm going to be laid-off, although there is no reason to think so because as far as I know, the company is still hiring more people. Maybe I'm going to be fired, but as far as I know they are nothing but happy with my performance so far. I haven't heard anything negative from anyone yet, although I feel like I have been really slacking the past week and last Thursday I did crawl into work at 11:30am. Maybe they want me to work more hours - I seem to leave before everyone else does. Or maybe it's because I'm the only one at work who uses AIM. Or maybe cause I read SG at work
. Yeah, you can see my paranoia. I just want to get the meeting over with and find out what it's all about.
My friend and landlord Shawn told me that he is getting a new roommate for my room, which previously was a spare bedroom before I moved in last month. He let me know today that the new roommate wants to move in on Monday, and he asked me when I could move into my new place. Unfortunately, I won't be able to move in there until Sept 1st (next Thursday) because there are currently tenants still living there. So this weekend I have to box up my stuff and move downstairs into the other bedroom for a couple of days. Hopefully his other new roommate won't want to move in before Sept 1st too. I'm surprised that he gave away my room before I moved out. Maybe he's angry because I didn't help his gf carry in the groceries on Monday (it was a misunderstanding but he didn't buy my excuse). See, it's my paranoia again. I hate moving. And if I have to take a day off work Sept 1st to move all my stuff to my new apartment by myself it's gonna suck even more.
I dunno what I'm going to do this coming weekend and for some reason that bothers me even though I rarely have plans before the weekend arrives. I actually had come up with some plans earlier this week and then I realized they relied a lot on other people, most of whom probably wouldn't be willing to go along with my ideas. The fun-weekend-plans went something like this:
- Friday night I go with Sid, Salo777, and whoever else wants to go, to Club Hell in Providence for Rock and Roll High School. We drink and dance till 2am and then gather a bunch of people from the club and all go to Sid's extra-house to after-party. (No one lives there and she has a pool). I'd provide the alcohol and she provides the location. We'd crash there as to avoid the horrible late-night drive back from Providence that we did last Friday. There is no way Sid would go for this idea though.
- Saturday I recover and then head up to Manchvegas with Sid to hang out at dive bars and seedy strip clubs with Anithero_Wraith, his friend Gia, and perhaps other NH SG's such as Edea or Scarlett (both of whom I've never met) and their friends and bfs. I know Antihero_Wraith would be up for this, but I also know Sid has little interest in going to Manchvegas, especially since Gumbercules is DJ'ing at TOAST this Saturday. And the other SG NH people don't even know about it, heh.
I really lack the energy to plan another 3-city weekend. Coaxing people to do things and driving people around is such hard work and I'm feeling particularly anti-social right now anyways.
I think it's kind of interesting that when my dating life isn't going well, and I write about it here, I usually get tons of comments, but when I finally have some success no one seems to care at all. I guess the times when I am jerked around make much better stories. Maybe when I notice things turning sour, I should just steer towards disaster and watch an entertaining story develop. Hmmm, perhaps that means I should change my weekend plans to be:
- Friday night call up Erika and ask her to go to a "rave" with me. Take her to something vaguely resembling a "rave". Act gay in front of her and then when she is off-guard, kiss her and grab her ass for good measure. Watch hilarity ensue.
- Saturday night call up Sarah and take her to a "goth club". Demand that she buy drinks for me. Conveniently forget to ever pay for a round. If she brings her "bf", flirt with her in front of him. If she doesn't bring her "bf" flirt with her anyways. When she least expects it kiss her (no ass-grabbing required with her). Watch hilarity ensue.
Both of those scenarios are bound to produce entertaining journal entries.
