rough parts of the day
Jun. 16th, 2006 07:33 pmIt was sort of a tough day. Some good things happened but I'm feeling sort of down right now so I might not be able to do them justice. It's too bad.
I was supposed to meet Corey for lunch today, but at some point yesterday, I guess, she gave me a call and told me that her mom had scheduled apartment searching for the whole afternoon. So we changed the time to 11. But then at around 9:20, my boss told me that there was a lecture I should go to, from 10:30 to 12. It was background information about architecture and structural engineering and mechanical engineering. So not only did my boss say I should go, but I also wanted to know this stuff. I've often wished I understood the actual content of the building code a little more. So I went down to dad's office so I could call Corey on my cell phone and also because I was feeling pretty down about not being able to meet Corey. In fact, when my boss told me about the lecture I was quite upset. I know my face really fell, even though i should have been looking receptive and interested. I think he was concerned, or at least confused. Anyway, I go to call Corey and she tells me that she's going to the Met in the evening, and could I go with her then? I was really pleased, because we'd have even more time together in the evening, whereas lunch would have been hurried. So that was good.
I went back upstairs, but I couldn't go over my work with Sam, because he was gone. And Jon, my boss, was also gone. I was at a bit of a loose end, but then Vivian, who works with me, asked for my help with some computer stuff. So I was able to help her. But then at around 10 she told me that the lecture was actually 9:30 to 11--Jon had given me the wrong times, and that's where everyone was! But at that point I was in the middle of helping her with something pretty important. So I finished that at 10:30, and I went down to the lecture but was too shy to go in. Then Vivian went down with me, but by then it was ending.
Then I didn't really have any work until lunch.
And lunch was good, we had empanadas. I had beef with sauteed onions and raisins. It was very good, but very hot and also fell apart several times. Then we got italian ices, which also fell apart but that was ok, cos with the top scoop gone I finished it just as we got back to work. And it was very good.
The beginning of the afternoon was awkard. Sam didn't have any work for me, and Jon wasn't around for me to get work from him. So I sort of just bided my time. Then things picked up at around 3. Jon had a job for me and I helped Vivian again. I didn't get that much done on my assignment but that's ok, it's not time dependent. I like to finish things as fast as possible, even if I means me having no work to do, because it looks good. And then, after I had work, Charles stopped by for a visit. And then at the end of the day, Robert stopped by for a visit. I felt very popular and I was very happy. But I guess I'll write about that when I'm in a better mood.
Then dad and I went to Midtown Comics. Katie went to the ballet with David, to see Giselle. When I got off the subway, I checked my phone, and Corey had called. To tell me that she couldn't go to the Met, her mom had a thing.
I am really disappointed. Now I probably won't see Corey again for over a year. I always get really down when I'm disappointed. And I feel a bit hurt and low priority.
