Everything Is Gone... Well, Not Everything

All my photos, music files, documents-- EVERYTHING is gone!

I'm a little perturbed by this. A little. I had a few things I was working on that were important to me. A few scripts, stories, and journal entries I had deemed "works in progress."

It sucks having to start over in this capacity. Two years doesn't really set you back, but in a lot of ways it does.

Couple that with all the papers and books I have yet to dry off and what I feel is a little more than annoyed.

Oh, and I have to finish moving in two days now.

On a (much) better note, there's another new girl at work that I've been avoiding. She's attractive. Definitely. But all the other guys at work are up in her business right now, and that's the last place I want to be at the moment. Quite honestly, even though it's a lost cause, I still prefer PG's unavailable company at the moment.

But, seeing as that things are "great" with her newly defined boyfriend at the moment (Side note: she called me drunk last night, in an almost break-down, and today things are "great" again,) I guess I can elaborate on this new, pretty face.

She's got a nice air about her. Polite. Intelligent. Well-spoken. Smooth voice over the phone (this is how I interact with her most of the day.) And she has that sweet "girl" smell about her, which smells like lip-balm, baby powder, and perfume. She's also very curvy, which is why she attracts a lot of attention from the guys at work at the moment.

Me, well, for me she's all right. I don't really know her at all, but that's because I've been really avoiding any and all opportunities to get to know her. Honestly, I don't need another woman in my life right now. My plan was simple: call her up when I only need to, ask her questions only pertaining to work, move on. Maybe a Hi or Good Morning, but nothing more.

Everything was going well. Until today.

I was upstairs doing my thing and I walked by her desk, noticing the new T-Mobile Sidekick 3 over a bunch of books. I just had to ask her about it, mostly because I'm in the market for a new phone. She let me browse around for a few minutes and we were talking about a few other phones. By the end of our little chat, I had a date with a like-new Blackberry phone that she might practically give to me (she got it for free) after I give it a go tomorrow.

So it's not really a bad thing that my plans of avoiding a pretty girl failed miserably. I got to chat with the new girl and get a new (maybe free) phone out of the deal.

I guess I'll have to live with the cards I'm dealt.

(Sigh.)
