THe Ups and the Downs

Up #1: Rafi snagged me to teach the couples' dance he taught Monday night with him- called Mitga'agea. It wasn't anything hugely thrilling, but it's a little ego boost.

Down #1: Work both Monday and Tuesday dragged and dragged and was dull and annoying.

Up #2: Work today was better: partially because my nextdoor neighbor, who'd been out sick Monday and Tuesday was back, so things were a bit more lively, and I had someone to bug with questions and to share the idiocy that goes on. Also because everyone was really sweet about saying goodbye, and they had a giant cake for the other two folks heading back to college soon and me (and I mean giant: there are something like 25 people in the office and we didn't eat even half the cake).

Down #2: I was an idiot last night and acquired for myself a computer virus that I'm still trying to get rid of, although several people have been wonderful to me in helping me try and get rid of it: shala spent much more time than she'd planned to spend on her dinner break so she could help me out (and telephone for help for us) going through something I hadn't understood in the cleanup process. Now I need to try it again and then maybe try another (a fourth, at this point, it would be) virus scanner if this doesn't work. But I'm learning... It's just making me Insane. And I stayed up until 2am last night trying to fix it before leaving a scan to run overnight (that still wasn't done when I got home from work: something must be wrong with that). So now I'm quite exhausted.

Up #3: I had dinner with Steve tonight, and it was a lot of fun: we've seen eachother and dancing some lately, but before that we hadn't seen each other in far too long, especially since we've been in the same city. So we had a chance to catch up and just talk about things. And she's going to be at Keff too, overlapping with me for well- about a day.

Up #4: While out for dinner, I saw (briefly) sharonaf whom I haven't seen since her wedding. It was quite a thrill, even if it left my dinner companion wondering if she (Steve) ought to have known her (sharonaf).

Down #3: I have to get up tomorrow to take a 5:45am cab to the airport.

Up#5: I'm going to see my grandmother for the weekend.

Down #4: I still have to deal with the computer issues. Maybe I can deal with it before I crash- I doubt it, but maybe, just maybe...
