Rainy day, rainy day. My bones are aching at the moment from the weather and maybe a bit of a bug that's going around and starting to scratch at my throat. Traffic was snarled up downtown because a funeral was being held for a state supreme court justice, but wasn't an issue since I walk to lunch. The rain that drizzled down on me with an already gnarled throat could get to be an issue though.
The woman who sits next to me in the office told me her husband was let go from the local television station a few days ago, after working there for more than 10 years. The editor has been sulking about failing newspapers everywhere else and how our own budget is tightening. I don't even read newspapers myself. The sullen bastard is bringing everyone down.
I have been thinking about a Christian woman I used to know, who spent time with me and would ask me to go on things that often felt like dates, though whether or not they were was never quite clear and I never tried anything beyond a hug. Me at my most aloof. Or me at my most guarded since she was clingy - to say the very least - and so devoted to holy ghosts I've never had an interest in. When she met another guy and was engaged to him after just one night, I was surprised to learn she wasn't chaste. I could have lived without those details. (Well...nevermind...)
When she learned I was an atheist she stopped speaking to me altogether and moved to Louisiana with her oil-rigger betrothed. I still think about her from time to time, but I can't say I miss her. She was just one of those weird characters you encounter in life. I didn't know how weird until the quickie engagement/wedding. Both parties have issues there.
Enough randomness...It's time to feed the cat.
