eerie kind of quiet...

i pulled up the office late today... i got stuck in traffic (i don't know how that is possible in the suburbs, but nevertheless... it was construction traffic)... but when i got to work, there were 3 other cars in the parking lot... only one of them is someone who works in my area, and he stays in the print shop... i don't see him a lot during the day, plus i think he's in a bad mood... so i'll stay hidden away in my cubicle...

this is the fourth block of time this week when my office area has been eerily quiet... creepy quiet... the kind of quiet that is in scary movies right before the scary music plays and something bad happens... when it's too quiet...

so i turn on music and continue to blog...

i got a wedding invitation in the mail this morning (actually yesterday, but i didn't check the mail until this morning)... a friend from college... actually one of my good friends while i was in college... of course, as with most friends from college, we drifted apart... she's getting married in 3 weeks and another one of my good friends (who was a good friend in college) is getting married in june... i can't go to either of the weddings... i was supposed to be in the june wedding... but money won't allow me to even go... there were 4 of us (good friends in college)... one got married december 2003, the other two in the next couple of months... and then there's me... (i have blogged about this before...) i just didn't think i'd be the last one... i guess someone had to be... and there are very cool things i've gotten to do that they haven't... i spent a semester overseas... i'll have a masters in may (which none of them have)... i live really far away from "home" and they all (right now) live within a few hours of their "homes"...

am i jealous? honestly? a little... it was discussed quite a bit last night... today i am... and it figures that it's april fools day...

this took me over an hour to finish... and the people all trickled in... it's not so quiet anymore... i guess i should get some work done...
