Somehow he was trying too hard to be like them

I arrived alive to Chicago. On Tuesday afternoon I suddenly got determined to crack the busy signal known as the United customer service line and I did -- after only 20 minutes she put me on a 7 o'clock flight. It was almost 4 pm. My clothes hadn't gone into the dryer. And frankly, I was a little sad to leave to soon since Phyllis and I's plan for the evening (making dinner and me forcing her to watch Buffy) was one of the most superior back-up plans I've ever encountered. But home beckoned and I usually come when called -- a habit my mother formed in me long ago.

I started to panic when the metro trains took exceedingly long to go the few stops needed to find National airport, but I arrived on time and got my boarding pass with no problems (despite the United person's constant reminders that I had to get US Airways to approve my ticket as well). I drank my vitaminwater and listened to my headphones the whole time.

My plane landed early and I couldn't stop grinning when I saw Lynx waiting for me at the baggage claim. Riding the bus home would have been torturous anyway.

I walked into work this morning to find my desk overrun with boxes and archives from MFHA's office. The move is coming. In approimately two and a half weeks our office will be repainted, recarpeted, I'll have an official cubicle and will be within note-throwing range of both Roberto and Cher. I guess next week I'll be cleaning off my desk.

I can't believe it's Thursday. My body tells me it's Monday in an alternate universe in some other city and if someone were to call me up today and say "hey, I'm moving to Toronto next week, would you come with me?" I would say yes because I'm just in that state of mind right now.
