-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.

Even though Travis was just moved to a large, fancy office, he is now being transferred.  He just called and told me, promised to come visit, but somehow I doubt this.  What am I going to do without my regular doses of the epitome of perfect DNA?

Cute Intern, New Intern, and Ginger* aren't exactly going to be around forever, either.

*The intern lovingly nicknamed by Bagelundercouch.

Sad:

-My apartment is such a pigsty.  It's completely unlivable, and I'm not going to be able to clean anything this evening because I have Plans.

-I'm staying at Pike's tonight and all I can think about is what excuse is he going to have to bitch at me.

-My mom will not stop emailing me.

-I wrote Luca an email last night and he hasn't responded yet.

-It's freezing in my office.

Happy:

-Finally able to write a public entry!

-Plenty to do at work, and Anna's out of the office for a while.  Plus she seems to be in a good mood.  (As in, she hasn't yelled at anything/one yet.)

-Cute Intern is proficient in witty banter, which is probably my favorite form of flirting.  This is going to be a fun few months.

-I'm going to see some friends tonight that I haven't seen in a couple weeks.

-I'm just in a general good mood today.  Let's hope it stays that way!

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.

If you could ask the person you like three questions, what would they be?

Pike:

1. If I made the ultimatum "get along with my family or it's over" what would you do?

2. What would you think if you find out I was writing a secret blog about how much you irritate me, and about the delicious men in my office?

3. Do you honestly think this living apart thing is going to work?

Travis:

1. So, are you seeing anyone?

2. What's with the ;) face in your emails?

3. If I stop finding ways to talk to you are you going to wonder what's up and start trying to find ways to talk to me?*  If you notice that I'm spending more time talking to Cute Intern than you, are you going to feel jealous**, think I'm trying to turn into the office tart, or not notice at all?

Cute Intern:

1. How old are you?

2. When does your semester end?

3. If I tell you to jump, will you ask me how high?

*Not the point, really!
**Not the point, either!

One would think that in an office as large as mine, the chances would be good that plenty of eye candy would be available for viewing by a young woman straddling the fence between Singledom and Couple Land.  In my office there were two: Travis, seconded by Noel.  Today, poor Noel dropped to third with the arrival of Cute Intern.

Cute Intern, like Travis, is very friendly.  However, unlike Travis, his friendliness does not need to be over-analyzed.  Nothing about Cute Intern needs to be over-analyzed.  He's younger than I am, is at the bottom of the corporate food chain, and will only be in the office for a semester.  So I can indulge in Cute Intern's masculine attractiveness without worrying about, well, anything, because he's an intern, so I'm just not going to do anything.  Plus his desk is near my office so I don't have to think of excuses to walk by.

The excuse to walk by Travis's desk failed due to outside circumstances that were beyond my control.  It made me come to a conclusion, though, and that is this: I'm making this human seem way more than he probably actually is.  I'm putting way more mental energy than necessary into obsessing that I could be putting into being better at the job that I love.  If Travis wants to make some sort of effort with me, then that will be one thing.  If not, then I'm done.

If necessary, I'll just get my fix by walking by Cute Intern's desk.

(Note: expect another over-analyzing entry the next time Travis stops by and says, "Hi, Cloudy.")

Now to discuss the real men in my life: I went to dinner with Pike and Addison.  Pike and I managed to not fight about anything the entire evening, which has not happened in a very long time.  I think Addison being here will really be a positive influence on Pike.  Perhaps Addison could even convince Pike that refusing to enjoy my family is stubborn, stupid, and hypocritical. 

Even though I've been composing this entry in my head since I began my drive home, I need to stop being stubborn myself and go to sleep, since I actually have to start unpacking and arranging my apartment tomorrow.  The boxes everywhere are becoming depressing, and the thought of having to unpack is not exactly pleasant, either.
