... To the only thing that's true
Thursday, September 1, 2005, 6:40 a.m. Calgary to New York, via Dallas-Fort Worth, for any and all who are interested in coming to the airport to see me off.
Alexandra called my dad and Becky today to check my references. Yes, after I'd already been hired. Heh. Anyways. All were impressed with each other--Alexandra was more impressed by talking to them, and their minds were both somewhat eased by talking to her. All in all, a good time for everyone.
One of the questions that Alexandra asked Becky, though, that made me laugh was how she (Alexandra) could make me happy, as my employer. Interesting question in a reference call. Of course, nothing about this is "normal."
It's not a "normal" call for a "normal" job to a "normal" boss from a "normal" prospective employer. It was a call from an employer that I'll be living with to a boss that I'm very good friends with, regarding a job that is anything but the average 9-5. I guess Becky was a good fit for that reference call, hey?
Anyways... in non-New York related news... one more day at work, and then the wisdom teeth come out and I have four days off. Oh, how exciting for me. I'm hoping that I'm one of those people that bounces back really quickly, so that I can enjoy at least one or two of my days off.
And... it's raining again. Calgary is going to float away, I think. Southern and Central Alberta is going to float away. There will just be this huge blank space in the middle of the map. It'll be like an inland ocean or something like that. World's biggest lake? Too much rain. I had some customers today from Houston, on their way to Banff, and they said that their summer is far drier than it usually is, so I figure that we just got all their rain.
Yeah. Can you imagine how disjointed my entries will be on Tylenol 3? I'll have to try to write one, just to see how it turns out.
One year ago today: I love the people that you meet once, and feel like you've known forever. Those friends that somehow transcend the few hours you spend together, and the conversations that leave a deep impact, long after you've gone your separate ways.
