Working in the coal mine, doing my time
Today was an exhausted day.
After getting home late last night, and getting up early this morning, I was just gone.
Then, on top of it, had a HUGE lunch. Went over Tom's (again), only, this time I brought some bratwurst, hotdogs and filet mignon. Yeah, baby. I treat my friends right! Even though they give me shit all the time. Eh, it's all give and take.
When I get back to the office, I am dead on my feet.
I've been running around trying to get stuff set up for next week (Monday I'm going to be in our Columbia Data Center to decomission some servers), and in the afternoon it was just coming to a head.
Then, at 3:00, the phone starts ringing from the Helpdesk because Christian has just gone home and put in 27 hard disk replacements! GWAHHH!
Then, at 5:00 I get a call where a store is down, and I'm doing the freak out. Turns out it was only 15 minutes worth of work, but I was afraid it was going to be like last Saturday, where I spent 4.5 hours rebuilding some disks in a store.
And I wanted to go meet S. with her friend J. at the bar for happy hour!
Luckily I got there while they were still there. Proceeded to chat, then S's Mom came in, and another friend, so, there's the five of us sitting there chatting for a while, then everyone started drifting away until it was just S. and I again.
When we finally left, 4 hours have passed of pretty much non-stop conversation.
It's turning up more and more things we have in common with each other.
She loves driving stick shifts - so do I.
She prefers the cheap shoes from Payless - so do I.
Everything has its place, but it doesn't necessarily end up there - ditto.
She laughs at my jokes, I laugh at hers. She's smart and accepting and open minded.
She's not hard on the eyes either.
I definately think I could love this woman.

It's now 10:45 at night, and I'm logging in to work to do yet more to get ready for Monday, and I need to call my brother because the computer I built him a few weeks ago is having some kind of issue.
On the bright side, I have a party to go to tomorrow. On the downside, I have a 4 hour drive on Sunday.
Give and take, give and take.
