Weekend
Good busy weekend, although I think I should've gone to bed before the Sunday evening blues set in...
I moved offices this week into a new building and therefore I'm no longer on main campus. Not a major change in commute, but no longer within 20 minutes walking distance. Lost my window, but the new building has a better feel (and at least better lighting). Only reason I had a window office for even a few months was because nobody else was in my old building. Microsoft is definitely all about seniority when it comes to window offices and promotions. At least I'm not sharing.
Friday night was spent having an excellent dinner for
rubylou's birthday, followed by a date with
jeliza. Saturday was much gaming madness with my buddies. Today was Alki brunch with
jeliza and
drakemonger, and my last online Living Force game. We finish the campaign next month in Chicago, and say goodbye to our alter egos of 5+ years.
Overall, I'm doing pretty well. The changes at work are stressful, but likely good in the long run. Generally my depressive moments are limited to the quiet of Sunday nights. I've made a few more friends in the past six months, although it's hard to say whether those friendships will become closer than acquaintances. Only time will tell.
I just wish the thought of time didn't weigh so heavily on me. It doesn't help with fetid pseudo-holidays like Valentines Day trying to remind everyone how incomplete they are without a life partner.
With that, I should get to bed, go to sleep, and stop angsting...
