It's snowing here in our
nation's capitol. This morning I got on the elevator in my usual
hurry. As someone was trying to race into the elevator, they pretty
much gave up as the door closed. That's always the toughest part
of riding the elevator for me. I always feel guilty when I look them
in the eye as the door closes and stand there and do nothing. So
normally I just make an exagerrated lunge for the "door open" button,
just so they know I'm not a dick. So i did the same thing today.
Except, wouldn't ya know it, the door flew open after I hit the buitton.
My timing is really off these days. But I had no real problem with
her presence on my elevator, since she pressed 11 and i'm on 10.
Then of course three more people came in after her, all stopping at floors
below mine, so i had 3 extra stops. Rats...
Despite this inauspicious
start to my day, however, things are looking up. If the snow continues
at this rate, I may end up busting out of here a little early. Maybe
catch a little siesta before dinner. You know, i almost enjoy being
at work on snowy days like this. It was always difficult going to
school on days like this. but coming to work, i just sit here and
don't have to go outside at all. I mean, of course i'd rather be
at home under the blankets, but this ain't too bad I guess.
'specially if i get ta leave early.
Berry's
sister Brooke is visiting for her spring break. I thought that it
might prove a hassle since i keep al my work clothes in the guest room.
It's kinda my locker room. I come home from work, take off my work
shoes and clothes, and change into something a little more comfortable.
So i thought i'd have to wake her up every morning to get my stuff.
But i was a little surprised to learn that she's not staying there. She's
staying in Berry's room. With Berry. I don't see anything wrong with
this, but I was just surprised. Ok, it's a little weird. I
mean, it's not like there's not an extra bed or anything. when I
asked Berry she just said "We're sisters." Well, my brother Geoff
visited in November, and I never thought ," Hey Geoff, wanna come sleep
with me even though you could have a bed in a separate room to yourself?"
Berry also told me that not only had her mother also slept with her when
she visited, but also that every person who had ever visited her
stayed with her. And my "every" person, she must've meant "no one
else but my immediate family." Because Jen
was here a week ago, and some of her stuff is still in the guest room.
I recall her asking Jen if she wanted to stay with her in her room if it
was too cold in the guest room, and I think jen thought that was kinda
weird. Now I'm not trying to portray Berry or her family as some
some of perverted sexual deviant, but wouldn't it be cool if she were?
well, due to the weather, I'm going home. It's really snowing. For those of you interested, I put up a little index of people that I mention a lot. it will eventually be on the main page, but for now it'll be here
