Update
Just figured Id give a quick update since I havent really written in about a week now.
Things here have been pretty mild. Work has been getting more frustrating. Im getting the feeling lately that several people there have decided to make me the scape goat for everything that goes wrong. Im not sure why but my guess is that people are easily influenced by bullshitters.
The girl who knows it all has been telling tall tales (im sure) and people are falling for it hook line and sinker. The funny part is that I would have expected people to be a bit wiser than that.
So needless to say, Ive been going in, doing my work, and leaving. Cant do much more than that but with all the frustration it really makes it hard to get through the next 5 weeks. Im hoping it will get better but not expecting it to. My guess says it will just get worse as time draws to an end. Sad, but there was potential there for at least a few good friendships. Stepping stones of life.
As for other updates, my futon is nice but Im wishing I would have gotten the bed now. Its definitely better than the one I was sleeping on though so I cant complain too much. I got my wireless mouse and my apple keyboard set up and ready for my computer. Its tough spending money and having stuff but not being able to use it. Soon enough though (a few more weeks that is).
I ordered the surround sound system too on ebay which Im now having problems with. Apparently the "system" didnt come with speakers so Im trying to fight it. The auction never said anything about the system not being complete and leads you to believe different. Perhaps someone who doesnt know this system would probably not have been the wiser but because I already own the same system complete, I would have expected the auction to say "subwoofer and remote only" which it didnt.
It gave the description of 5 speaker "output" which to me is misleading. Last email I sent is requesting a full refund prior to me shipping it back. If that doesnt work, I will end up disputing the charges, filing a complaint with paypal and ebay, as well as leaving my first negative feedback ever. We shall see what happens.
I did manage to spend some time drinking over the weekend. Went out for a couple of cocktails Friday night and ran into my friends Rick and Scott. I only had a few drinks and came home early.
Saturday, I went to the gay.com brunch (again hung out for a bit with Rick and Scott). The brunch wasnt as big this month as it was in January. There was a total of about 10 of us and we went to The Sausage Factory on Castro. My first time there and I wasnt too impressed. Although the food was ok, my stomach wasnt feeling the greatest afterwards. The food seemed to go right through me and I was in the bathroom most of the afternoon.
That evening I went over to see our friends Rob and Rick (whom we stayed with last year while visiting and who came over New Years Eve). They IMd me on AIM and had just come back from Costco with a huge bottle of Absolute, which they were using for white russians. It was nice to go to someones house and have *them* make *me* cocktails lol. I stayed a few hours and then came home.
Sunday another day of cocktails (mind you only a few each day so not as much drinking as you would imagine at this point). I went to brunch with my friend Logan and this guy Sean (not sure if thats the correct way to spell it or not). We started at 10am with Mimosas and then went to the Mix for a bloody mary. I was tipsy by noon so home to take a nap.
I did talk in between to Kym in Rochester for a bit and then slept for about 2 hours. I was supposed to me Logan and Sean at the Eagle but got a call from my friend Allan who was heading to Metro. Being that it was raining I didnt really feel like going all the way to the mission for beer bust, and so I joined him at Metro.
My first time there and I actually liked it which surprises me. Metro is a bar on Market in the Castro which is set on a triangular corner and on the second floor. They have an outside smoking area that overlooks Market St as well as Noe and 16th. Lots to see and every time Ive walked by there, there is always a bunch of drunk guys outside carrying on like obnoxious fools (think str8 guys of the gay community. You know the ones). So needless to say thats what I expected.
Instead it was a mild crowd, the place was nice inside, and they served food too. I had nachos. ;-)
We stayed about 2 hours while it down poured outside and watched the Academy Awards. A few cute guys (at least the drunker I got) and a few drinks later, we left. I walked with him to the Edge, and came home.
Thats about it for the update. Not real exciting but thats how its been. I do miss Josh and wish he was here. Soon enough though, soon enough.
