Friday
(5:41AM)
Another long awaited Friday has reached its destination, and even though it hasn't really started I'll be glad when it's over. This has been one of those weeks where I've felt like the hamster on an exercise wheel, just tooling along, but not really going anywhere. I've been spinning out with helping in an engineering capacity, and sometimes doing that can be on the serious side of boring. I'll be coming in to this place on Sunday to babysit somebody, basically, but there will be work for me to do, as well. We've got a bunch of transmitters that have to come back to be retested because some genius somewhere gave us the wrong frequencies to set them up on initially, so now they have to all be pulled back and redone, and to make sure that it doesn't impede the normal work schedule they're going to have me come in on the second shift and test. It's not a real biggy to me. It isn't like I have anything better to do besides sleep, and maybe snack before hitting the rack. Currently, I'm in one of those modes where I'm pre-caffeine. I have yet to grab up on some java, and while I won't go ballistic if I don't get a cup there are some things you just kind of get used to in the morning, kind of like number 1 or number 2, but not necessarily in that order. I have to ease my way into this day, not get into too much of a rush lest I spend the rest of my day in constant dread.
I've been missing tossing lines back and forth with someone this week, and it's really unusual that it's been that way because she and I have been tossing a lot of lines for quite a while now. I guess she must be needing some space, and I respect that. She was instrumental in helping me through a very tough time, but she told me up front that she didn't want to get too close, that she wanted to establish a line, and considering what she had been through and what I had been through I was more than understanding of what she was saying. Sometimes it was very hard to see where that line was because life on our respective home fronts is nothing to jump and shout about. There is a lot of sadness on both ends of our cyberlink, but we know that there are certain things that can't be helped, and where we currently are is something like that. I've only heard from her once this week, well actually twice, but they were both very brief. I know she has a lot of pressure from her work, but I sense there is something else, but I won't pry or prod, just go with the flow is about the best I can do. I know that she doesn't owe me anything, and the best thing I can do is be a friend, and that's what I'll try and do. And I guess I'm gone now. Ciao.
