Two Weeks Off and Nowhere to Go

Well, thanks to some issues I'm haivng I get to spend the next 2.5 weeks of time off while we move offices doing absolutely nothing of interest.

It's been kind of hard to read anything lately as well.. I'm hoping it's temporary, I'm going to have to see the eye doctor before this gets worse.

Of course it would be a perfect end to a year that's been so strangely twisted in how it seems like I have finally have my thesis finished, only to find that what works in simulation has serious issues when you try to turn it into a circuit, or that just because a girl pays tons of attention to you at several parties that she might still totally forget about you all the rest of the time.. or that the job you miraculously found when you needed one so badly turns out to be an endurance exercise in itself.

I guess it just goes to show that simply moving won't make all the problems you had in your old place go away. You get to keep most of those while getting a whole new set thrown at you to deal with at the same time.

Even the ones you're supposed to be able to trivially forget about, like a crush on a girl who seems to like you but doesn't seem to want to do anytihng to spend any time with you.. you'd think it would be easy enough to just say "ok, bye now," but then she, right before you leave, wants to see you and tell you how much she's going to miss you.. maybe it's just her being nice / polite, but it's enough to pierce the bubble of closure.

It's times like these that I can understand why people abuse chemicals.
