"i haven't done all the good things i could"

[ateolf]

i wasn't stuck guruing today...not sure why, maybe she's done...hopefully...anyway, not too coincidentally i finished reading The Death of Ivan Ilych and Other Stories by Leo Tolstoy...it's a book i tried to read many years ago and quit halfway through the first story 'cuz i did not like it at all...well, i gave it another shot and i'm glad i did...the first story ("Family Happiness") was still not good but the other three were pretty good...not quite the reversal of opinion when i reread Absalom, Absalom! but another not total write-off...

My job requires me to talk to co-workers, though most of the time I would prefer not to.

I didn't really make any friends at work in California until after working there for about 5 years. Hmm.

Maybe I'll email that guy or something. I don't even know what to say or how to say "Hi, I noticed that you wear Converse and like Radiohead and Brian Jonestown Massacre" without sounding like a creep.
