Daily wrap
I haven’t written a daily wrap in a while, but today just calls for one. I got up and decided to stay home today. I worked until around noon and then I got very hungry. There was no food in the house. I called and ordered Chinese food. I paid with a credit card and completely forgot to tip the deliveryman. (Note to self: Find a way of paying him.) I sat on the couch multi-tasking: watching MSNBC and muting the commercials, eating Chinese food and browsing. TV was still talking about Hillary’s RFK comment. I guess, I only need to watch TV twice a week and due to the multi-day half-life of the news, I could still figure out what they were talking about without the risk of running into redundancy. I got tired of the TV and went back to my bedroom/office and continued work. I finished reading the FastCompany’s long article about China and Africa. I like this magazine. They ask good questions. I chatted with a friend and told him that I don’t have much hope for Africa. An hour later, he told me that he didn’t get the job that he so badly wanted and needed. I was speechless. I didn’t know what to tell him. I felt bad about talking to him about Africa on this hard day. Had I known…. Continued working. Around 7, I called my friend to console him but I didn’t have anything meaningful to say. He was at Borders, pondering his next move. I wrote a class paper on Standards of Competency for patients when making treatment decisions. Randi came home. She said her lesbian friend decided at the last minute not to go to Canada to see her family, because her traditional dad is still not accepting her. I got a message on Facebook by a guy from my entrepreneurship class and he said, I added you not because of the class but because you spoke up at the Horowitz event and I applaud you for that. I thanked him and said I’d be happy to do it anytime. This was the only positive note of this dissonant day.
