Um, okay

(May 16, 2001)

Life can get so weird in such a short time. It's like if you're toodling along down the street, and suddenly the sidewalk opens up in front of you and fairies pop out and ask you for spare change.

In short, I'm having a few "um...okay" moments.

Thing one is, my company is undergoing massive layoffs. Two people I've been working with as recently as last week are suddenly gone. I could be next, and I don't care. Bring it on. I'll take the 3 months severence package and the summer off. Although...I'm crazy busy at work...but the whole time I'm waiting for a tap on the shoulder, and wondering what's the point of the results I'm producing? It's like painting waterolor masterpieces on a sidewalk.

Thing two is, a friend from high school found me on Classmates.com and wrote to me. It's surreal to say, "So...how've you been?" after twelve years.

Um, okay.
