hello? is it me you're looking for?
Jan. 29th, 2003 11:21 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
I worry about my relationship with my parking lot attendant. I mean, we never make eye contact anymore! This is troubling because my relationship with him is about the most fulfilling one I am having with a male within ten years of my age who I am not related to.
I mean, we used to smile! Wave! Say hello! That was back before I got my electronic parking pass and had to hand over the little parking validation things to him to get out of the garage. Oh, the price one pays for the convenience of being able to open the gate oneself! I'm about ready to pretend to forget my card just so I can say hello to him. I am so very desperate, it's sad. I mean, every so often he'll look up from the newspaper and kind of wave, but it's not the same! No verbal acknowledgment! And also, since I have like no depth perception, those rare occasions we do make eye contact nowadays come about because I've stopped the car too far from the little card-reader-thingy and have to open the door and hang out awkwardly to reach the card-reader-thingy. Not the most attractive position.
Oh well. The sad ballad of Jess and the Unnamed Parking Attendant. It is so very tragic.
Also, I appear to be the Typhoid Mary of law firms -- this is the second place in a row where I've gone and someone's gotten fired while I'm there. This time, though, it's actually the person I'm replacing so they apparently may want me to stick around for a while. I'm supposed to think about it so I'm sure I'll be torturing you all with a long, boring should-I-stay-or-should-I-go entry. Aren't you excited? In that completely not-excited-at-all way?
Speaking of excited: Not So Deep, Not So Dark Secret Here: I love really bad CD compilations. One of the perils of my Soapnet addiction is the sheer number of CD compilation ads -- I end up wanting ALL of them quite desperately. And since I don't have particularly good taste in music to begin with (I know, I know, I'm growing uncooler by the moment -- does it help that I don't like the fact that I'm not more discerning when it comes to music?), it's really quite dangerous. So dangerous, in fact, that it causes me to ignore IMPERATIVE things like JC NEWS. I know! They're going to make me turn in my Obsessive Stalker Fan Card! No one will find this interesting except me and Kaelie, but watch me post this anyway. It's my journal! I have that kind of power!

Did it have "Runnin' with the Night" and "All Night Long?" LOVE those.

Date: 2003-01-30 07:16 pm (UTC)And it totally did have "All Night Long" -- I know because I spent all day today trying not to belt it out at my desk. And now it's back! I can't get it out of my head! How sad is it that I still love the song even after it's tortured me for hours and hours?
Such is the power of Lionel.
