newer-older-profile-gbook-notes- e-mail-dland stalking work. 02.27.02 at 12:09 am 0 comments so far other than working, today was a rather unproductive day. although, i'm not sure what i was expecting. i ripped my pants on a pool table and have endured a headache for most of the day. and there's someone in my life who sent me an email essentially along the imagery of "eye heart you" and wording along the lines of , "i think you are special even if i don't show you that i care for you all the time" and they sent me chocolate dipped strawberries the day after valentines day? something is telling me that it's an ex. but then again, i really cannot know. i just started reading pat califia, 'no mercy.' i can't say that it's very good yet, but it keeps me amused. especially the quote [from 'dolly']: "so what if war broke out and there was imminent danger of death from nuclear weapons or biological warfare? you got up, showered, had coffee, made your lunch, and went to work and forgot about it. your girlfriend ran off with somebody else, somebody with more money and a car and the methane coupons to keep it running? you put in some overtime, built up the savings account. hungover, sick, depressed, pissed off, hurt, lonely�it didn't matter. you showed up at your desk on time. military police busted your bar as a hangout for subversive elements so there was no place to go dancing on weekends? the government printing office closed down a magazine that was about to print your poem, citing a paper shortage and lack of morale-building content? piss on it and punch that clock. work was the linchpin, the ten hours, six days a week that anchored her [my] life." [p. 18-19] perhaps you'll soon find that i collect quotes like one might collect rocks? one cannot know, just as i cannot know who YOU are. but it seems that that's what work has become like that for me lately. it's the only constant, no matter how inconsistant my schedule is.
