Random stuff

I was the last person to leave work last night (at 5:45) and the first person in this morning (at 7:20). What I won't do to get close to 40 hours a week. Tonight I get to leave at 5:00, though, and then I get to go straight home and I only have a little bit of homework to do for tomorrow, which will only take me about five minutes, so I actually get to relax! It's incredible. I'm going to be online chatting with my friend Sally (who doesn't seem to have read this yet, even though I've sent her the link. I'll have to talk to her about that tonight :) tonight. We were supposed to chat on Tuesday night, but someone cut a fiber optic cable close by, and I didn't have Internet (or phone) service all day, at work or at home. I had my friend Jamie e-mail her to let her know, though, so I didn't stand her up. It's been a couple of weeks at least since we've chatted, so I'm looking forward to tonight.

I bumped into one of my aunts at Walmart a couple of weekends ago. She is my mother's sister. Our family is very strange - we never keep in touch with each other. Since Mom and her mom died, I think I've seen them all only once or twice (and it's been six years since I lost Mom), and then just by accident. I guess I like this Aunt okay. I don't really know her, because of the aforementioned weirdness, but she gave me her e-mail address, and I gave her mine, and I guess we've started keeping in touch by e-mail. I love e-mail. It's such a no pressure way to communicate with people who you might not feel comfortable picking up the phone and calling.

I'm going to be so glad when Thanksgiving break comes. We get three days off from both work and school for it, so it'll be a real break. It'll be nice. Maybe I'll actually get around to getting my hair cut that weekend. It's been way too long since I got it cut. It's very long now - down to the middle of my back. I don't mind that, but it's a little too much trouble. I'm going to get it cut to shoulder length, whenever I find the time to make the trip to the salon. I might get it dyed to get rid of the gray that's showing back up, too. Maybe. The gray doesn't bother me that much, so it really depends on whether I feel like sitting in the chair for an hour to get rid of it. We'll see.

Okay, I've been here half an hour now - is it time to go home? No? Damn. Okay. I guess I should find some work to do.
