Being Back
It doesn't quite feel like the summer is nearly over. Yet, lo and behold, it's July 20. July 20! My internship at Accenture is over half over, I've finally had a chance to see most of my Bay Area friends at least once, I only just yesterday unpacked the suitcase i've been living out of since moving back, and I just got word that it's time to book my Fall classes once again. I never fail to be amazed at how each day can slip by when you're not looking.
My cubemate said to me today, I wish this day was over! Now, this is a pretty typical statement - particularly on sucky days when work is just killing you - but c'mon, it was only 11am! It's like pulling the ejection seat while the plane is still rolling down the tarmac. 11! I think I was still chomping down the last bit of the donut I bought for breakfast.
In another, completely unrelated incident (except that this, too, occurred at work), but another coworker came into our cube and chatted with my cubemate. As this transpired, I caught a glimpse at his shoes and was floored. They were some huge, scaly shoes made out of something that looked like alligator skin. The skin must not be too flexible - the shoes looked about 5 sizes too big for him. They were so loooong and weird reptiley - almost like flippers. I had to turn away and snigger to myself. It was the same kind of snigger I enjoyed oh-so-thoroughly last quarter when I realized that one of my team member's last name was iamthongthong. I AM THONG THONG. is it a name....or is it Sysqo's latest single? you be the judge.
So yeah, my brain's still a bit mushy and I can't spit out a coherent blog entry yet. It's like I snapped out of coma but forgot how to walk. it's all good, I'll just take this back to normal life thing one step at a time - or at least until I'm whisked off to school once again.
