-I miss my cat.  I wish I could have a kitty in my apartment.
-It's a general boring day at work.  Anna took me around to meet the other offices, but hardly anyone was having any technical problems.  We did run into Corey (the owner of our company) and we had lunch, so that was actually good.
-The temperature is quite cold for October in The City.
-I had a dream where I wanted to get back together with Pike.  Then yesterday he decided to break his sponsor's rule and come over.*  He arrived right after Rowan finished asking me out.  I was a bit on the edge of my seat there.  At one point, when Pike was over, I started rubbing his arm out of habit, and he said, "Cloudy!" and I stopped.  I still feel so comfortable around him I forget that I'm supposed to behave differently--as friends.  That's hard.

Bueno:

-Keith left early today so I get to have the office to myself.  OH!  It turns out Keith is actually dating someone younger than him right now, so no cougars at the moment.  I'm not sure if this is such a great thing, because if he was dating a cougar I'm sure it would provide much more interesting vox fodder.
-Two days of Project Beautify before the date.  Must bleach, work out, and exfoliate like I'm a celebrity.  (I'm not sure if this really goes under bad or good.  Two days is better than one?)
-My dishes are nearly done at this point and I think I might actually have my apartment clean before my mom and her friend show up for the weekend on Friday. 
-I'm really looking forward to having them here.  Her friend is closer to me than my actual aunts.**  My mom is also bringing me some of my things from my parents' house and some groceries and necessities.  I also can't wait for her to see how I'm living like a grown up person in The City!  I've got a job and my own apartment in one of the most important places in the world.  I've made it!

*He brought me stuff I left at his apartment in exchange for supper
.
**I have a lot of aunts and uncles who all have a lot of nieces and nephews.
 

Because I have nothing else to write about today, and the "cougars" tag is getting smaller and smaller:

Where's Keith? I Want That!

-Pike is away with Luca this weekend.  I miss Pike when he’s gone, and I’m jealous that he gets to spend time with Luca.  Also, as I previously mentioned, Pike knows I think Luca is attractive and Luca is ignoring me.  Problems likely to ensue.
-Installing operating systems virtually is not fun.
-I wanted it to be sunny this weekend, not wet and drab.
-Even though I said I’d go, I don’t really feel like going to this party tonight.  I don’t know anyone except the host unless Addison and/or Lacey decide to accompany me.  I frequently do this when it comes to parties.  I’m a flake.
-I’m sleepy.
-No reliable intelligence has yet been gathered regarding Cute Intern’s current relationship status and living arrangement.
-Yesterday I had a lot of fun bickering with Keith*, and today he’s out of the office at least until later this afternoon.

*Before anyone starts getting any ideas, he’s not my type at all, and I’m about 15 years too young to be his type.  You can’t be a cougar and date someone two years older than you.

I have come to the conclusion that all the people I write about can be confusing.  They confuse myself sometimes, so I've written up this informative list.  It's in alphabetical order, which I decided would make more sense than "attractiveness" or "length of hair."

Addison - Best friend of Pike. He and I still friends, according to Addison, unless Pike and I force him to take sides.  I, personally, would never do that.

Anna - My ex-boss.  Sometimes she's great. Most of the time I felt like I needed to get away quickly.

Carolyn - My housemate, who used to annoy me sometimes by not being as laid-back as Lacey, Aimee, and myself, but I like her now. The house needs a bit of structure.

Cloudy - Me. Professional woman in her mid-twenties. A bit odd.

Corey - The owner of my company. Not to be confused with "The Company"  that my company does tech support for.

Dan - A client of mine that I like to flirt with. I don't see him anymore after my promotion, which is sad.

Everett - A friend of mine that I was into before meeting Pike. Would probably agree to marry him if he asked. He lives on the opposite side of the country.

HR Lady - A coworker that I generally get along with.

Jack - Friend of Lacey's that I tried to flirt with and ended up without my favorite pair of earrings. He is in love with Sylvia. It is definitely un-reciprocated.

Jamal - My new supervisor, who is this awesome hilarious older dude.

Joan the Cougar - Pike's most recent ex. She is ten years his senior.

Karen - One of my best friends from high school. We don't really talk anymore.

Keith - The coworker formally known as Cougar-Meat. Completely hilarious young man who tends to date women about twenty years his senior, but currently has a girlfriend his age.

Kelly - Pike's current girlfriend. Lives in the same city that Joan the Cougar lives in, but Kelly is actually closer to Pike's age. I met her before they started dating, and I actually liked her.

Lacey - My roommate and probably my best friend if I had to pick one.

Luca - Friend of Pike's and mine who lives somewhere other than The City.  Cute in the "sexy" kind of way.  Beautiful hair. We basically stopped talking since Pike and I broke up.

Mark - Corey's brother who was a big shot at some huge company and now works for our tiny organization.

Molly - My coworker and best work-friend, although we no longer share and office, which is sad. Anna loves her. Her fiance used to be roommates with Dan.

Oscar The Loud Breather - Guy I was sleeping with a while back.

Parker - Coworker that very much unfortunately has a girlfriend.

Pike - Ex.  We are still friends. He is a serial monogamist.

The Quebecois - Amazing, sexy man who is crazy about me, however he lives in Canada so we are reduced to video chat and much sexual frustration.

Redhead Boy - Boy I went on a few dates with. The romance kind of petered out before anything could actually happen.

The SR - Awesome client that I used to flirt with until I found out from Molly that he's actually gay. He's still awesome, but I don't see him anymore after my promotion.

Syliva - Lacey's friend, one of those people that everyone bends over backwards to please.

Travis - Used to be a client of mine, cute in the "I want half of your genetic markup in the DNA of my children" kind of way. Overly friendly. In a relationship. Lives in another country far far away.

Web Girl - Coworker who does most of the web work. She currently shares and office with me and she talks nonstop.

Web Guy - He's my coworker that is supposedly in charge of the "web team" but doesn't do much for it. He's cool though.

I might be missing some people. If I don't write about them in here, it's probably because they made such a non-impact in my life I hardly found it worthwhile. 

As my previous entries may reveal, I enjoy making lists, so I decided to start this "things on Tuesday" meme.

Loathe:

1. My inbox at work is a complete and utter disaster.  I haven't sorted it in weeks.
2. It's boring enough at work today for me to actually have time to write an entry.
3. Cute Intern displayed signs of Anna Syndrome* today.
4. I discovered something involving Addison that has the potential to be very, very bad for me.  I may write more about this later.
5. Last night I went out for dinner with Pike and I ended up paying because he wouldn't stop whining about it.  It was so annoying!  Then, once he finally stopped being so irksome, he started being cute and lovable!

Love:

1. I was given a free latte by a client.  Mmm, coffee.
2. Fall is coming, and for the first time I can look forward to it without having to realize that it also means I'll have to start school.
3. Working with Cougar-Meat (I really need to think of a better name for this guy) is turning out to be quite fun because he's hilarious.  It's a good thing I'm not a cougar (Cute Intern isn't young enough to count) and way, way too young for him.
4. Saris's most recent post made me smile.
5. Dimples!

*This is when someone has a helpdesk question and asks Anna, ignoring me.  I'm not jealous, and it's not like Anna's cuter than I am--it just gets annoying.  At least I knew the answer before she did this time.
