Martin is here, working on database stuff and stats.<\/p>\n
I’m getting sick or something, which is not making me a happy camper, since I am flying to texas on Sunday. <\/p>\n
Work goes well, if slowly.<\/p>\n
Went to see Phantom of the Opera last night with P. – I still always find myself rooting for the Phantom – I wonder how many people do? I mean, sure, he’s a murderer and a terrorist and whatnot, but still..<\/p>\n
Certainly people always clap the loudest at the end for the Phantom. Maybe everybody has a soft spot for the guy..<\/p>\n
Nothing else new to report. My life is as always.. <\/p>\n
I was a Bad Sheer and bought a sampler on e-bay – so much for budget plans \ud83d\ude09 On the other hand, I just landed another several-day job in SoCal with the high-bucks people, so my financial future is still looking quite rosy.<\/p>\n
I suppose i should pay in quarterly taxes, then I wouldn’t be tempted to spend my tax money.<\/p>\n
Some day the IRS is going to come lock me up and throw away the key.. I mean, I try to follow most of the rules most of the time, but.. first of all, it’s hard to want to pay a lot of money into te system when they do such _horrible_ things with the money I do give them, and second of all, it’s all so _complicated_..<\/p>\n
Went out psy-trancing the other night, which was a lot of fun.. Martin is here, working on database stuff and stats.

\nIt would be nice to have real life friends. \ud83d\ude09 I realized, hanging out with Martin (old RL friend from SoCal\/Epoch) that I haven’t really had any for a while, besides P. – now that she doesn’t live here any more, I won’t see _anyone_. How eerie. In SoCal I had several friends who would drop by every once in a while, or who I would hang out with after work. But I’ve usually made friends through work, and, well, consulting just doesn’t have that many chances for social interaction. And all the people I do know through consulting live in other parts of the world, since almost all of my consulting is determinedly not local.
