9 am, I walk in to my office to begin yet another rather annoying day. 9:05, the guy i'm officially naming "annoying stalker guy" walks in to my office, greets me good morning then sits his ass down on my chair. No more than 3 minutes later, his counterpart walks in, and sits next to my tv, and they proceed to have a conversation. I think it included me, but I managed to tune them out and look at my friends wedding pictures. They kept making references to me, and I just kept avoiding them. I think they finally got the hint, and they ended up leaving and sitting in someone else's office. Geez. It's a wonder why I hate people. Dont come to my office and socialize this early in the morning. I dont care if you've been at work since 5 am. That's your problem. Not mine. I've only been awake for an hour and a half, and without my morning coffee, i'm pretty damn irritable. Cut me some freaking slack.
So I didnt get a chance to post yesterday. I actually attempted to do some work. I kept myself busy till lunch, then just kinda tied up some loose ends on email. Work email of course. By about 4, I was done. I didnt feel like doing anything else, and I was just trying to figure out what I was going to do before softball practice. Overall though, yesterday was productive. I dont know how today is going to play out, since i'm already in a pissed off mood and it's only 10 a.m. I gotta hope for the best and pray that annoying stalker guy doesnt try to socialize with me again. Maybe if I stay away from my office like I did yesterday, he'll get the hint. Then again, he probably wont. He doesnt strike me as very sharp when it comes to things like that.
I got this rental car from the car company. It's a Mitsubishi Pajero. I dont think they sell it in the states. It's probably a little bigger than a Mitsubishi Montero. I kinda liked it at first. It made me remember my car back home. I miss driving that 40 thousand dollar beauty. Now it just sits in my mom's garage, collecting dust. After I realized that the Pajero had absolutely no power, I began to despise it. You know how hard it is to drive in this country with a car that has no pickup? You'll never get anywhere. Top that all off, but a half a tank of gas got me 140 kilometers. Just fucking fantastic. It takes me 120 km to and from work, so basically i'm going to have to gas up every 2 days. And that might be pushing it. I'm regretting asking the car company to replace my windshield. That's going to delay me getting my car back.
Got word from one of my bosses that I might be leaving either Fri, Sat, or Sun to start my residency stuff. Basically, stand by and hope that things actually work out so you can drive in this country legally. Just more bad info meant to stall, which is becoming a pattern. I'm not really happy about it, but what can I do? I'm stuck. Hopefully they actually get something going here within the next 2 weeks so I have some form of identification. I guess I can look at the brightside of things, and focus more on the fact that my bday is coming up. I was excited at first, but now, i'm kinda getting worried about all the preparations I have to make. I'm supposed to have a poker game Sat night, which will prevent me from starting to clean and prep the food. I'm supposed to go to the grocery with CG#1 Sat night too. It all depends on what time she gets off work. We'll be cutting it close though. I think i'll be doing the shopping on my own Sunday morning. We'll see. I'm probably going to cancel poker which is going to suck. Maybe I can hold it next week since Sat is just going to be a bad day all together. I'm planning on taking half a day off to get the grill and set it up. Hopefully it all works out.
I once drove a Pajero when I went for a vacation in Abu Dhabi. It's called Montero in the States through they're practically the same. But the Pajero is bulkier and, in my opinion, one of the best all-terrain SUVs ever manufactured. It handled the desert dunes without any problem.
