• My Day So Far

  So to go with yesterday's bland post, time to talk about my day so far. If I don't bore you I'm doing it wrong.

  I have an odd schedule, so I technically did not have to be anywhere until 1 today. I found myself gravitating towards my computer. Signed onto Skype, because I have some Euro friends who are only on Skype early in the day. Turns out S was on. She told me about OMGPop, a game site, which I promptly tried to forget about. As if I need more distractions! She wanted to cam and after some light whining on my part (waah just woke up waah), which she countered with similar "but I look more hideous!" comments, I acquiesced. First time we had talked on cam, it went pretty well. I was pleased, we chatted about her trip to Europe to see her boyfriend and some other matters. I high-fived myself on the interaction, which is just as awkward as it sounds, and rushed to the shower to get ready for my 1PM meeting.

  At the bank, I had to decide what funds to invest in. I've only done IRA's and retirement plans before. I deliberately said no to the first fund he suggested, partly out of habit. I found myself studying him during our interaction, making note of how he remembered different facts and handled the interaction. Overall, he had good skills, and managed to wear a pink tie to work, which paradoxically made me feel his recommendation of high-risk/high-reward funds could be trusted. I put HAHA NO NOT TELLING dollars in the fund investing in dividend stocks and NOPE in Latin America stocks. I expect a stern call from Brother 1 after this post telling me how I should have invested in other funds. Oops.

  Of course, my gabfest with S meant that I had forgotten some important things. I was late to my appointment with my physical trainer, which was upsetting because she's quite pleasant. We re-scheduled for 6:45 tonight. I'm mulling bringing an "I'm sorry" gift but am also realizing that seems patronizing. Hmm. I wanted to go get coffee with R at work but he's nowhere to be found now. So I got iced tea by myself, grumbling a bit. I tend to be the overly friendly guy at work sometimes because I find the social contact re-energizes me. (And yet, I'm an introvert. I AM WEIRD.) Right now I'm scowling at my computer because I fell for a "Two weeks free!" dating site offer. I haven't done anything dating-site related in eons, and it appears I'm falling for it again. I'm being asked questions about myself and realizing I know much less about myself than I know about any of you. Clearly I need to read my own blogs to find out about myself. I'm joking...mostly.

  Now I'm sending back a snarky reply to L. L is reading this right now and wondering "WHERE IS MY RETURN TEXT" and so here it is, L. And since no one else is still reading, I'll stop here. Wow, an actual day on my blog...yeah, that was just as boring as I thought.

  UPDATE: I wore this sweatervest and dress shirt again today, but this time without the tie. Maybe I should have not worn the sweatervest today. I think I'll worry about this for the next 20 minutes.
