Had a leisurely and productive lunch with freakysparks. If by 'productive' I mean 'enjoyable and conducive to maintaining a friendship', which I do. And I was finally successful in getting a library card. With the same librarian. Who barely looked at my two bills. And then proceeded to make jokes about how many "Aaron Johnson's" are in the computer. But she still didn't make eye contact with me. I didn't take it as personally this time.

Hasn't been a terribly productive afternoon, other than tracking down some briefs for a co-worker in the new york office. For some reason that was fun.

I did get asked out on a date this afternoon via e-mail, but unfortunately it was for tonight, and I already have plans. But I'm hoping I can convince her to go out with me tomorrow night....especially since I've heard some pretty hot things about her.....

I'm such a freak. In multiple ways.

My plans for this weekend are to do NOTHING. And I'm very excited by that.

Maybe the reason I didn't work very hard today is so I can cram 7 hours worth of work into the last 90 minutes and it will therefore breeze by. Yes, yes. That's it.

Lisa showed me this list from the Employment Assistance Program that details symptoms related to the shock of events from The Incident. We were amazed by how many of the symptoms we both experience on a daily basis, before and after the trauma. I mean, we made jokes about it and stuff, but I sorta got freaked out by that. Maybe I have a more severe anxiety disorder than I thought. Or perhaps they just used broader terms than they should have, like "withdrawal", "restlessness", "irritability", and "nausea".

Oh, and freakysparks told me at lunch that I previously posted about my interest in getting back into "mediation". That should have read "meditation". Oops. Not that I'm self-conscious or anything. That was for you, Jeff Stroker.
