4 Aug 2000 squiggy   » (Journeyer)

Having a long talk with Chris via email about yesterdays 'Man! Everybody hates their job except me' diary posting. A lot of talk about investment of self, and taking things too close to heart. I think it bears further discussion, but I missed last nights 'beer and bitch' session 'cause I was waiting on Alix to help me move.

It's a difficult thing indeed to call someone up and say "Why the hell aren't you here?!?!? Yer LATE!! Get off the damn phone with your boyfriend, and get over here dammit!" when they're going well out of their way to do you a favor. But it's almost more hassle than it's worth sometimes. Sure, using your truck to move my bed makes things better, but sitting on my ass with my bed in the front yard for 3 hours, wondering where you are pretty well overrides that.

And another thing, how the hell did I end up as a Journeyer all the sudden? I mean, you know, sure, I like the status, fame, glory, and the ladies that come with it, but I was kinda hopin' to bag a hottie with an apprentice fetish before I moved up the programming food chain. *sigh* Foiled again.
