My sister went to Yearbook Camp today. Sigh. I'm sad. First time in five years I have not gone to camp.

There was a car parked there right next to where I was stopped, so people making a right turn just had to wait behind me before they had enough room to move into the right turn lane. OR SO I THOUGHT! Some stupid asshole in his crapola car TRIED TO SQUEEZE between my car and the parked car! Can you believe it?! His car just BARELY fit, and as I watched dumbfoundedly at the audacity of this moron, I noticed that while the body of his car fit, his side mirrors were clearly going to collide with mine. Then he reached out of his window and clapped his mirror up against the side his car so it lay flat! Sheesh! Why are people so impatient? Like it would have shaved more than a couple seconds off his life to wait like everyone else? Crapola car! Crapola driver!
Taking my parents out to dinner tonight. Some weird Chinese thing where I should treat my parents out to dinner after I get my first pay check. It's so lame. This is why I hate living with my parents; there's always like these weird expectations of what I should be doing for them (which, by the way, no one ever tells me about beforehand; I only find out about it belatedly when my mom *suddenly* and *unexpectedly* gets mad at me). Argh. What a load of shit. Maybe this is why I "need more Asian friends" ... so they can fill me in on what these damned secret "you should already know" expectations are. Argh argh.
Asked my boss as small talk today what he was doing this weekend, and he was like, "Oh, movie, going to the derby with a friend, and um, breaking up with my gf." So casually like you break up with your gf every weekend! It was kinda odd.

Been waiting this whole week to ask uber-boss if I can stay on in the fall, but she's been busy, on the phone, in meetings, and whatnot every time I walk by her office. Sigh. Doesn't look good.
Talked to Nick last night on the phone, and got what I guess is as close as I'll ever get to hearing him say he loves me. :/ Been thinking a bit about our relationship, and was surprised at how different it is from my previous one. It's like I took everything the other one was not and made it into this one. Am also a very different person/partner/girlfriend in this relationship. Strange. Maturation or the need to try a different approach?
Good to know Mimi is ok, not hurt.

That's why today I braked starting half a mile away from things; I was afraid I wouldn't stop in time. Half the time I'm coming up to cars stopped in front of me going, "Oh, shit, stop!" I also cannot tell how close I am to the wall in front of the car when parking in the parking structure. Today I thought I was going to hit the wall, and when I got out to see, I was still two feet away, so the back of my car was sticking out of the parking space unnecessarily. Dude.
Met the president of our company today. The man is very well-spoken. Huh. I need to become like that. Develop better speaking skills. I don't have much control over my inflections.
Worried about Mimi. Think something happened today with her car. Hope she's alright.
j posted this at 7:31 PM. I decided ergonomic (aka "natural") keyboards are pretty cool. I have one at work, and at first, I hated it and thought it was kinda strange, but now I really enjoy it.
Car is in the shop. Driving around a little Ford Focus as a rental car. It's strange. On my car, even if I step a little on the brake, I can feel the effect on the car; it slows immediately. On the Focus, I have to step harder before there is an effect. It's a little disconcerting. Boo! Stuck with Ford Focus for two weeks; want my car back soon!
(Just had a thought: should I NAME my car? Hee.)
j posted this at 10:00 PM. Last night I went out to dinner at Red Lobster with Pisey. First time I've ever been there. Their biscuits are seasoned on the top, making them really favorful. (Must be brushed with butter and herbs) Then I saw their Lobsterita drink and was quite surprised at the size of it. It was served in one of those huge novelty margarita glasses!
Why is it that every time I go to Walmart, I spend a lot of money?!
My keyboard is misbehaving. It is not responding too well to what I type; sometimes the keystrokes don't register.
