Still Stranded
Jun::19::2020
We're still stranded at the same beach because of the weather. Tomoe was supposed to join us today, but couldn't get in either. It just so happens however that a few friends from back in the days when we used to live in Tokyo and I was running in the Hash was in town for the marathon. Tomoe took the opportunity to join them... the last time she sent me an update, she was about 3 hours into the run. There's a good chance that trying to keep pace with Cherry and Aunt Hurl will push her to her best time yet.
Everyone finished climbing without incident. Now we spend our time playing cards trying to resist the urdge to do our work (or schoolwork) while on the trip. That is one of the biggest probelms that no one has ever been able to come up with a technical solution for when it comes to this brain-net. We are always in the office (or school as the case may be).
Meanwhile, back in 2002...
I hope I didn't loose all eight of my readers. I havn't had the chance to update becasue I have been trying to get to bed earlier so I can go through a day without sleeping. I like the sleep, but hate having 4 less hours per day.
Today I didn't think I would have time to update either, since I am a week behind on a program that was supposed to take me a week. I will have to be doing it all weekend now to be able to show it to the client Monday. Strangly enough, I like the job again. There's always something great about the hopeless feeling of knowing that there is only a 1% chance that I can finish it in time... Finally something (almost) more challenging at work than being patient with all the other people.
I am not trying to imply anything by mentioning this right after I mentioned work... but I am just downloading what looks like an interesting topic from Talk of the Nation about how to survive a bad boss.
I finally got to the HashA drinking club with a running problem again last night. I was getting into it again recently, but now am starting to feel bored with it again... it is fun and there are a lot of cool people there, but the whole yelling and talking about the hash and making people drink for the same old things starts to wear on me after a few weeks. I suppose it is just my problem though because everyone else seems to enjoy it no matter how many times they hear the same jokes. It does have it's moments however, and I recomend it to most people.
