i hate snow

today at work i started writing an entry, but i got sidetracked by, well, work, and i didn't get very far into it. let me just sum up what it was about:
wah, wah, wah. it looked like spring (70 degrees, flowers, warm wind). wah. then winter came back (it's been snowing every day this week). wah, wah, wahwah, wah. i don't like it. wah.

now. aren't you glad that's not what you got? funny thing, though, it seems like a bunch of other diarylanders are whining about the weather, too. so if you want to read about that, go here, here, here, or here. i'm going to write about something else.

i learned a lesson at work this week. there's a boy at work who i thought held me with a certain level of disdain. he never said anything to me and even seemed to avoid me. i always thought i detected a stand-offish vibe from him. i didn't know why, but that's how it seemed, so i didn't like him back.

then yesterday he comes up and sits down next to me. he's in training learning to do something i already do and was there to sorta shadow me. "you're the only one that's available," he said. great. now i'm stuck with this boy who hates me.

then for some unknown reason, in that moment there was a warp in the universe as we know it, and my usually non-chatty self tried to start a conversation. know what happened after that? the boy opened up like a flood gate. we had a lovely conversation about anything and everything, vented frustrations, talked about our families... we even found out that we have some common friends from where he's from in california. i have a new friend!

so i guess i learned two lessons: 1. don't assume things about people (i know i hate it when people assume things about me), and 2. just talk, megan; it's not that hard.

oh, yes. also, as of this moment, i have 7 days, 18 hours, 18 minutes, and 32 seconds until i'm scheduled to arrive in los angeles. then i get to see (and kiss) my jeffrey! i'm so excited!
