Hump Day 7 – ymoolG dna yerG
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007ymoolG dna yerG… what does that mean? That’s the title of Monday’s post but backwards. That’s right, things are starting to pick up again now. After hitting the bottom of the barrel, my extra padding from all the chocolate I’ve been eating bounced me right back up. Once again, my friends and family were here, right by my side, even though we are on opposite sides of the world. You know when you just need that little assurance that they’re still there… well, they never fail me. Never. I don’t know what I did in the past life to deserve the life I have now but boy, I hope I can do something to “pay it forward”.
Anyway, so yeah, even if it was only through email, I got some support and wishes that just picked up my spirits…. so, to keep the ball rolling, I decided to confront the driver with my broken French. I’m pretty sure I asked him why he’s been so sad or mad and I think it caught him off guard…. then he started to talk really fast and I think he said it wasn’t aimed at me, his mind is just occupied because he goes on vacation next week. At least that’s what I think he said. I think he said a lot more but I didn’t really understand too much of it. From his body language, he seemed a bit distressed…. so, I decided to go get him a hot chocolate for the next time he came to the building. Sure enough, when he came around and saw me standing there with a hot chocolate (that’s what he’s usually drinking in the morning), he brightened up again and we’ve been chatty every since. So, for those of you who cheered me up, you can take credit for cheering Ali up too 🙂
Work itself has been busy busy busy lately… not much to say about that… the weather has been on and off. I hate it when it rains though because the snails come out in swarms (or whatever you call a group of snails) and if you aren’t careful when you’re walking, you get a REALLY unpleasant *CRUNCH* with the feeling of slime under your foot… it’s really something I almost gag about every time it happens. Ummm, other than that, nothing new here. I can’t believe how fast summer is flying by!
