At work while everyone else is playing

[fajrdrako]

Most of my friends are civil servants. They didn't have to work today. I did. Some of my friend spent the day watching The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and I was thinking of them as I spend my afternoon shredding several years' accumulation of pages of old accounts.

Lunch was fun, though. Met up with four slash friends and went to DuBarry's Chinese Buffet, where I managed to have tripe and squid at the same meal (heaven!) and not go too far off my diet. Coconut tapioca turns out to be good.

I've been in a good mood all day, despite being somewhat upset - does this sound too contradictory? - because a good friend is mad at me. We INFP people want to please everyone all the time, and fret when we can't. Of course we can't! So why can't I convince myself of that? My emotional response is to be angry in turn: how dare she try to bully me. How dare she make a fuss over something trivial. Unappreciative wretch!

With any luck, we'll both have cooled down and things will be okay by the time we next speak to each other.

In the evening I visited a bit with maaseru, who is going to Vancouver tomorrow, and maaboroshi, watching McGyver with no sound.

Talked to Beulah on the phone about plays (since I can't afford to renew my subscription) and about Malta. Exciting.

I miss Smallville: I want a new episode. I also miss Lost, but I believe there's a new episode this week.

"I miss Smallville: I want a new episode. I also miss Lost, but I believe there's a new episode this week."

Is there? I thought it wasn't technically until April (next week?).

According to zap2it.com, we get a new episode on Wednesday: "Deus Ex Machina".
Description: Locke begins to suffer physical difficulties as he and Boone try to find a way into the hatch; Jack is reluctant to offer assistance when Sawyer begins to experience excruciating headaches.

I think they were going to wait till April, then changed their collective minds.
