Phonecalls from Brad after midnight: 2 out of 3

Last night, I was finishing up some final things before bed and the phone rings. I looked over at my caller ID and saw it was Brad, again. I was so annoyed, I didn’t bother picking up. He may stay up super late and then get up at noon, but I freaking have classes. He knows that.

No more. Next phone call after midnight, I’m telling him not to call me anymore.

Haven’t even gone on a date with him and he’s already hit my screw-it point.

What the heck is it with me and drama?

Oh, more drama at work. I had to train a new temp Thursday and lets just say, she’s one of those people who would find a conspiracy against her in “Good Morning!” Very dumb, didn’t want to listen to me, and then throws this huge, over-the-top drama trip on me when I started to show irritation at her and then became angry with the techs and quality control people. (e.g. I’m angry, thus it must be at her.) Ugh. Ended up being hauled into the managers office over that one. Now she thinks I’m her bestest friend.

Then, yesterday, I had to train on Cell 1. I can’t keep up with that damned machine and apparently they want me to run it while the usual operator, Brad, is on vacation. Went okay, he’s a geek like me and a classic Final Fantasy fanboy. Cool, I get to discuss FF8 - 10² and my favorite characters. So about halfway through the night, Brad asks me out “sometime.” Okay, I’m game for a little fun so I give him my number. We get out of work at 11pm. He calls me at 2am. *grumble* Rambles through everything he did until he got home to call me. *irritated sigh* I just want to go to bed. After 8 hours of working with me, having the balls to ask me out, now you’ve decided you’re nervous? Finally says he wants to take me out for a movie. Saturday. This evening. Not sometime, today. *frown* Okay, I don’t go to the theater anymore, so I have no idea what’s playing. I tell him I’ll watch anything. Silence at the other end of the line.

I finally suggest that he pick something out and give me a call today.

Totally regretting agreeing to going out sometimetoday. I understand he’s nervous, but damnit. If he’s going to be this shy, he’s seriously barking up the wrong tree.

Anyway, up to level 7 in WoW. Started hunting in the upper-level newbie area, had my first kill-stealer, and just relaxed in general. I still have to finish that stupid spider-egg quest. (Wow, at first I didn’t think there was anything KOS in the newbie area. *laughs*)

I’m currently playing a 14-day trial version that Matt gave me. Anyway, after Brad called, I decided I needed a little social interaction after all. So I looked up this guild called “Seventh Cavalry” and see that nearly everyone is on. Went to send Joyleaf and Koori a tell for kicks and discovered that I can’t send tells on the trial version. lol Figures.

Anyway, gotta get homework done so I can go out with Brad tonight. *grumble-sigh*

Public Service Announcement to anyone in my C++ class!

This might come as a shock to you, but I don’t possess psychic powers. I have no talent in ESP. I can’t read your mind. I have no idea what you’re thinking, so you don’t have to worry about me snooping in on your thoughts or whatever.

If you want me to do something, you’re going to need to communicate.

Speak! Tell me what’s going on. Inform me to what happens in the group. I only have 3 - 4 hours to get homework in before I have to go to work, so I don’t have time to play guessing games with you.

We have a group discussion board, use it. I read it daily. It’s shocking that there’s only been 2 new posts this week. Don’t reply with the project guidelines when I ask what’s going on or say I don’t know what we’re even supposed to be doing. I already know.

You submitted almost the entire first half of the project without communicating with any of us. Either keep going or start talking.
