jackofallgeeksThis is me being grumpy.
I'm grumpy because, for the very short term, it's the only alternative to despondent.
It's now been about a week since I last emailed Kira; no word in reply yet. It was a long, long email, though, so I'm trying to believe she's just busy. I have no reason to believe otherwise, but the longer the silence draws out the more my confidence wanes. I don't deal well with silence. And I hate me without confidence.
Speaking of weeks, this is my last one at my Internship. Friday is my last day, which means I get another paycheck and a half out of them. In the meantime, pretty much all of my actual-work has stopped, and I'm doing little more than the clean-up paperwork for leaving. I like to imagine that most of that (the work-stoppage) isn't my fault, and the fact that we had to send 3 of the 4 phones I was working on back to the manufacturer for repaires helps that belief.
In other news I have a room-mate but no apartment in Monterey. I've also done approximately 70% or 80% of my Christmas shopping (though one gift will yet require a few hours of assembly...). My mom is bringing a couple of my brothers down here on Monday to pack up my stuff and move me out of my apartment. This means I need to get the mess that's accumulated over the last week or so cleaned up, partly so my stuff is ordered well and can be packed easily, but mostly because I don't want my place being messy when mom comes by. I never believed her as a kid but she was right: it makes a difference when it's your own space.
I have almost no food in my apartment. Aside from a few eggs, a little oatmeal, lots of chocolate, and some stale cereal, I'm pretty much living lunch-to-lunch. Part of this is laziness, which is helped by the fact that I'm leaving at the end of the week so getting more food seems wasteful. Part of it has to do with the fact that I have approximately $4 in checking until Friday (though more than plenty in Savings, so I'm hardly scraping the barrel).
Meh. I think I'm gonna go play video games or maybe cook an egg...
(I friends-lock too many of my posts these days. I need to remedy that.)
