Nothing too interesting to report just yet.
I went with 1 spray on the wrists and 1 on the front of my neck around 11 am.
Nothing too terribly interesting happened, but from what I gather I’m supposed to report everything even if it doesn’t seem relevant, right?
I started off today tired and a bit rough around the edges because I drank a full bottle of wine over the course of yesterday and I have a sprained ankle that’s just now starting to heal. (Still very sore.)
I saw my ex and another friend of hers in her department. She was cordial and talkative and seemed happy to see me, but nothing felt like an obvious hit. Nothing from her friend in the way of positive, she actually seemed a little irritated. (She loves me as a friend though. She thinks I’m a great guy, so she’s not normally pissy when I’m around.)
Everyone that came by saw my taped ankle and had to ask about it. Some wanted me to show them the gross colors that were underneath. One girl made fun of me and asked if I was just now learning how to walk, in a baby tone. (I rolled it wearing cleats on indoor turf playing soccer, bitch.
)
My boss also seemed to be a bit touchy at everyone but me today.
Went with him to have some authentic chinese today. No major hits by the chinese staff. We talked a bit about business and he kept striking up the conversation while I ate.
I had a meeting with our wireless account executives and my entire team. The smell seemed to be pretty faint and I found myself really noticing that the exec next to me was a smoker. It’s not that he reeked of it, but I couldn’t stop paying attention to it.
At that point, I noticed I was having significant trouble keeping my focus and was spacing out quite often since I got in. Aside from being spaced out, as far as personal effects, the smell is quite relaxing to me.
I gave myself another spray around 4 and went for a walk around the office.
Went to talk to our chief lawyer about options for a personal fax line for him. The conversation was very professional and cordial but he had this look about him like he was having trouble focusing too.
Later on, the only hit I felt I had was another lawyer walked by (cute girl, 30-35 ish) and I said hi as she passed in the hallway. She smiled and blushed a bit and dropped her head as she walked by. Today’s the first day I’ve ever seen her wear a skirt, so she may have been getting extra attention all day, so it’s hard to tell.
The girl who mocked me came by later on all frazzled, needing some IP addresses freed up for a project she was working on. I decided to hang around her for a bit and lean near her, showing her how to do it herself. At several points, she got frustrated and said what was on par with “on any other day, I’d be willing to learn, but not today.” She did thank me profusely for helping her, and she stopped by just now to give me an update saying she couldn’t get things to work so we’ll try again tomorrow blah blah.
It’s now 7:30 and I’m not zoning out anymore. I’m debating now whether to go to the gym or just go home. (does this thing steal motivation or is it because I’m tired?) ![]()
I’ll try again tomorrow to see if I have any better luck.
