Tuesday
Today’s been good.

One of my co-workers lost his father last week. I didn’t get a chance to offer my condolences until this morning. I could have done so yesterday, but I didn’t want to be a person in figurative crowd; so I waited. This morning, I stopped by his desk. He seemed to genuinely appreciate the sentiment. He then went on to talk about one of his fond memories of father and how the way that his father carried himself was the example that he tried to live up to. It was a nice tribute.

and contacted me shortly before I left work and invited and me to dinner and a movie. For dinner, we went to Thai Garden. As usual, the food was very good. Then, the movie: Hitch. It was a fun romantic-comedy. I think that we’ll be picking this one up when it comes to DVD.

Namaste.
