DJ

Today I looked at my countdown calendar at work today.  It's been a few days since I last looked at it and I saw that I was at 91% complete.  That was a nice surprise.  I didn't quite realize that I had less than 10% less.  I got an e-mail from Jennifer; and included in the e-mail was her travel itinerary.  She also has to fly through Memphis and she should be arriving in Memphis on the 17th of this month.  Hopefully she won't be stuck there for four days like I was.

I had a nice day.  Work was busy.  I think that I get just as much done on my half days as I do on the whole days.  I just burn through it a lot faster because I don't want to have the pile of stuff on my desk grow unnecessarily.  With Spencer on vacation, Chip and Keith have to take care of his stuff, so Chip really doesn't have time to take care of my stuff.

So when I got off work, I walked back to my apartment to change and go to the gym.  But the door was unlocked when I got there and I was like "what's going on?"  I might leave the door unlocked from time to time, but Sean NEVER EVER leaves the door unlocked.  Well, Sean didn't leave the door unlocked.  Our third roommate was moving in.  Our new roommate's name is D.J., he's from San Diego, and he's an anesthesiologist.  I'm guessing that's the correct spelling.  Microsoft isn't giving me the squiggly lines.  So I helped DJ get settled in and we made small talk.  Then I left him alone so that he could get settled in.  He has travelled all day and probably wants to relax a while.

So I went to the gym and worked out for a while.  I lost track of time - and the next thing I knew it was almost seven o'clock.  I was a little hungry and I wanted to eat before it got too late.  I really try to not eat anything a few hours before going to bed.

Then I cleaned up and cut my hair.  I think I should have one or two haircuts left before I fly out of here.  Three more Friday night-steak nights, three more church services, two more professional management classes (to skip)…  It's all winding down.  I'm just excited for my replacement to get here.

    Ok, just read this and the last few posts and have a question. I know this isn't LIKE summer camp, but is it "like" summer camp? As in you spend a short amount of time with a small number of people, and form a bond so that even though you're happy to go home, you will miss them and feel that melancholy at knowing you will probably never see them again after all you've experienced?

    Ok, my written version sounds way more depressing than I mean. I just haven't gone through anything like that as an adult other than college, so all I have is pre-teen experiences to go by.

    Maybe social networking sites will help people keep in touch now in ways that weren't so simple a mere 5 - 10 years ago (or longer). Is Facebook the new VA/VFW? I just know I would have loved to have a simpler method way back when to keep up with my Camp Pecometh pals. And I hope that the bonds you formed recently will be easily kept somewhat in place.
