I am tired and crabby.
Had to attend another dinner with Dr. sister and family to 'celebrate' the New Year. It was pretty stressful.
My car needed oil pump repairs that put a good dent in my wallet.
Had to have dinner with my two cousins, one of whom is arrogant and condescending. They both study computer science and are uncomfortable talking about anything other than hardware architecture and software logic theories.
Had a crappy New Year's eve with a shrewish woman 'friend'. She is a volunteer where I work and comes from a trashy, abusive Catholic family in PA. She is often hostile and defensive but she is on welfare and she needed a ride to the party so I agreed to go with her even though I wanted to go see the last show of Dina Martina instead.
It's sad; I 've done a bunch of stuff for her but when she starts making fun of me in front of others, I feel like I have helped her all I can. Maybe I approached it the wrong way and she felt humiliated. If she did, I wish she could have told me.
Had to work over the holidays to cover for a coworker whose sister died on Dec 24.
Also have an upcoming State certification test for my job.
All this stress has gotten me a cold.
I did get to see Life Aquatic. I thought it was hilarious with smart acting and directing. It was good to have fun for a change. I can see why SG is so interested in it.
Also been reading Billy Collins for the first time. He is so funny and accessible he has made me interested in poetry again.
End of vent.
