Forcibly good night out.

So I had some hella good conversation with Spiggan. And the dancing flowed like wine and honey, and I carved my mark upon the floor, conjuring up the images of Photiq and Heatray and even Cris, which is damn hard to do. And while the interested party from last week wasn't here, there was a new face. But you know, I don't really feel like fighting over people. So when several other guys are latched onto you, it really doesn't seem worth it to me to vie for your attention, unless you make it plain you ARE vying for my attention.

Am I off base with this? Or should I be more pushy? I think I'm approaching it correctly, but I've been wrong before.

Just so we're clear, nobody on my list is the target of this. So feel free to respond.

Until further clarification is achieved, I will continue to dance my ass off and leave them pining on the sidelines.

First (half) day of work - complete

I'm working in the Hancock building, which is a Mecca of corporate Boston is there ever was one. I'm sure the Prudential building has a similar feel for those who work in or near it. Suits everywhere, people holding meetings while walking, people stepping outside in the fresh air to drag on a cigarette before retreating inside again. Today was just an overview of what we'll be doing (updating laptops with new patches, and backing up their drives to the network). To fill in some time, we crimped network cables for a couple of hours. I'm now glad to say I know how to splice and repair a network cable. I also know that I'd rather not have to do that again any time soon. There's a small frustration factor, but mostly it hurts my wrists.

My shift will normally go from 2 to 11. If I think ahead I can bring clothes to go out in next week, but will I feel like going out right away? We'll see how I feel.

For now, I predict scrubbing my teeth and reading a few chapters of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (which my mom just sent to me. Thanks mom!
