I did something that was possibly a little daft last night, which was to watch all 3 Resident Evil films back to back. So I was jumping at the shadows last night.
Watching a Deep Space 9 repeat at the moment that’s got a bit of an Ahhh moment in it. One of the characters in DS9 is Odo the shapeshifter. He’s a fairly solitary fella is Odo, played masterfully by Rene Auberjonois. Probably more accurate to say alone than solitary though …
I’m kinda feeling the same way at the moment. I’d like to have the chance to share a dinner with someone. All those dvds I watch, I’d like to watch them with someone else (even if that means relinquishing the popcorn bucket occasionally!) And I guess I’m missing gaming with people I know too. I’ve not really been connecting with the Eve people (well, new/old corp) and I’ve been on a bit of a break from Warcraft for a while.
Part of it is the new location at work, I guess I’ve been missing having the pretty girls from the team next door walk past and give me a wave. There’s something about a smile and a hello that really brightens the day. The move has put my team on the end of one of the building spurs instead of the middle, so we don’t have people from another team walking past. It’s not quite as bad as that though, there is still the IT Girl, The Boss and Wild Thing* who I can usually rely on to respond to my strange humour. Even if it’s just with a pat on the head.
So the loneliness has set in a bit and its demon has been pacified tonight by a bit of Amazon Treatment. Oh and a tie from the Mall tonight to replace some that are rather badly worn out. Which might tell how old they are ! I may also be suffering from a bug that’s going around work at the moment, with it sneaking in under the cover of the severe dust inhalation I got last week while cleaning.
Anyway – it’s my birthday tomorrow and one of the project traditions is to procure donuts (and other cakes) for the team. I’ll be hoping to lure over some non-project people too 🙂
*(I must get around to doing that Cast List of some of the people at work sometime … IT Girl, The Boss and Wild Thing are just 3 of the people I work with but they are 3 of the best)
