"The unexamined life is not worth living."

Some guy said that. Some old dead guy said that. You know, The Old Dead Guy, who was so smart he taught the guy who people think is the source of Western Philosophy. And that guy ended up teaching another guy and together they're the Three Old Dead Guys of Thought. Remember now? Thought so.

I'm supposed to be reflecting on my day, my work, my life. But I'm not. What I am doing is watching--okay, listening--to RvB, thinking about tomorrow's dinner and movie, and thinking about what I should wear.

Now I'm thinking about MS' wedding and how I have to tell her about the Total Wedding Show this weekend. And buffet next week with KM. Mmm, butter chicken.

The more I think about these things, the more I realize that that's my day! Thought about wedding, thought about setting appointments with KM and the doctor. Thought about the dinner and movie and where to go. That was pretty much...

My day...

A crazy lady called me today. Two of them, actually. The first one was a colleague.

ring ring
Me: Hi D!
DB: Hey! Who's this?
Me thinking: You called me and you don't know who I am? We sit not 10 metres away from each other. Is this a joke? I'll play.
Me: (in a very deep voice) It's MM.
DB: Oh, hey, hi. Is RR in?
Me: Nope.
DB: Okay. Can you connect me with MC?

A couple of minutes later.

ring ring
Me: Good afternoon, AC speaking
Crazy Lady: Hi. Did you dial me or did I dial you?
Me thinking: It's gonna be one of those days, huh? I'll play.
Me: My phone rang so I'm guessing you dialed me.
CL: Oh, okay. I'm trying to reach CODA.
Me: Okay. This is...., not CODA
CL: Oh. I don't know what that is. 'K, thanks. Bye.
Me: Okay then.

My work...

Well, as you can see from above, my work is pretty interesting. More next week after my performance review.

My life...

I feel like I'm in a good place even though I've effectively put parts of my life on hold till the summer. Like dancing, french, and the May marathon. And I'm okay with that. Things are changing and I think for the better. I think. I hope. I pray.

In the meantime, there are things to think about, things to reflect on.

The black RW shirt with narrow white stripes. Yeah, that one will look awesome for tomorrow.
