It takes your enemy and your friend, working together, to hurt you: the one to slander you, and the other to get the news to you.~twain

tgif! it's friday. yay! only 1 more day of work! another packed weekend for me. the highlight should be tomorrow's poker party though, woohoo! in another week or so i start another hectic travel schedule. next year i am going to slow down by about 40% wonder what i'll do with myself then? hmmm it's sort of driving me to work harder to make the most of this year if you will.

i'm going to take up a new sport next year. i'm doing some of the prep work for it already, we'll see how it goes. it's kind of exciting to think i'll be taking up a brand new challenge, since sadly there are not many opportunities left for me in my current sport. my heart will always belong to my first pro/am sport i got many many intangeable, downright invaluable things from it. i'm pretty luck all my whining aside.

i have to laugh at my company sometimes, incredibly ridiculous. do you ever think to yourself; "how the heck did this company get this far with all these stupid policies?" i do all the time. yesterday was for sure one of those days. i wrote a letter to a client, and asked my assistant to stamp my signature on them. well she lost the stamp and didn't bother to tell me. great my boss says "um well you'll have to hand sign them" he was indeed serious so since they were time sensitive and had to go out yesterday i was lucky to sign 1/2 of them only shy of 800 haha! yes i am sooo lucky. of course my obvious suggestion was to quickly redo the letter so instead a mail merge type document: dear miss susie r. client it would have read dear client and we could just outsource to have a signed one scanned and then printed that way the middle cheese said no no no far too expensive since it's "your" fault. side note: we have offices in the *ahem best places* i get to go to baltimore again for about a week. *shudder* fortunately i have a friend in fredericksburg, va which isn't a bad drive and she has the cutest wee ones!!! i have an "aunt" living in mineral, va but i won't be making it up there this trip either. i want to maybe stay and get to know d.c. better. i was there for like 12 hours 2 weeks ago so i made a laundry list of things to see/do. i've managed to stay out of cleveland! but i think chicago is coming up soon. *note to self find a job with travel to moorea or somewhere like that.

i decided to put down the fitness/nutrition books this weekend and do some light reading. i miss reading for the sheer pleasure of reading! this is all inspired by the big cheese telling me i was silly for dancing in my office last week. told me to be a kid! have some fun!

Lin will you ever hang out with either me or Steve in person? I read your post in the "Online Friendship" thread...it kind of confused me. Although you have given good advice ...you yourself have not made an active effort to meet me or Steve in person. What's the problem Lin? I don't bite and I won't bring a camera and take/post pictures of you on the forum. I have made an honest effort several times and really wanted to meet you in person, but it seems like you either don't like me, want to be real friends with me or you don't trust my intentions or me for that matter. I think you're a cool fun good person that's why I want to hang/be friends with you. It hurts/disappoints me to know that you would hang/meet Anne in person, but not me. Do you think I'm an asshole/untrust worthy/not worth meeting/being friends with? You mentioned yourself to Emma that you don't really consider online friends to be your real friends and real friends require some form of committment. My point is that if you never bother/choose/make an effort to meet online people in person..how can you possibly make a real friendship with them...it would be impossible to be real friends with you, because you never seem to want to do anything/meet me in person whenever I ask/invite you out.

Lin I'm truthfully the same person online and offline (whether that is a good thing or bad). If you met me in person/only if you met me in person that is...you would see that i'm for real/no bullshit. I get the feeling that you don't really want to meet me in person...which hurts me a lot..but It's ultimately your choice only to make and I have to respect that.

Anyways..I won't ask to meet you in person anymore..I give up. Have a good weekend Lin.

Peace:)

Next year? Slow down by 40%? LOL!!! Wait til 2004 hits the half-way mark first. You're so funny!!! "Doh je" for making me laugh. Plus the "putting down the fitness/nutrition books." I believe I memorized every one of my books that deal with fitness. How come you haven't? LOL!!! Have a great weekend!!!

actually sean, i think you are just fine. i don't know you other than through the pretty superficial dealings on the forum. even though that's neither here nor there. i actually work nearly 80 hours every week, so if i spread out my actual spare time that leaves very very little. i have friends and family that i want to spend time with and don't get to because of work as it stands. i feel a real friendship is a committment and having said that i have loads of committments to honour. i'm not sure why you are trying to make me feel bad for declining to meet you. it's not personal at all. i have a right to choose who i meet do i not? i chose to meet anne since we actually had some sort of bond and it made sense. she actually sought me out for advice and help in a serious matter therefore creating the bond. i'm unclear on why i need to justify my choices to you. it has nothing to do with liking or disliking you. if i didn't like you i wouldn't interact with you at all. that's my nature, to avoid conflict if at all possible.

"you never bother/choose/make an effort to meet online people in person" i take exception to you using the term bother here. it's a choice on my part. i actually just go to forums for a bit of levity to break up the monotony of my day. it's great that there is a place like that to go to and share a little fun. i do enjoy the light interaction without any pressure. that's all i'm seeking frankly. i can't believe you would feel hurt or disappointed that we haven't met. why? anyways you can be that way if you choose. i hope you'll just move past it and things can return to normal.

as for YOU frank...shut it up! lol...i have decided that i will work only 1 job next year. i want to see what that's like. i have been working 80 hours or so a week for 7 months, which in conjunction with my training does eat up the better part of a week.

i didn't say i hadn't memorised the stuff i read but i am reading NEW stuff want to switch gears and read something for the sake of just reading not because it's imperative to my lifestyle etc. so ttt to you buddy!

like I said in my previous comments Lin regarding meeting in person....

"It's ultimately your choice only to make and I have to respect that".

I now know/must realize/accept that you don't want to really be friends with me at least not in the real world sense. I agree with you it is totally your choice to choose who you want to meet in person/spend your time with...I never said that it wasn't. Anyways, like I also mentoned above....

"I won't ask to meet you in person anymore..I give up"

I'll just have to remember from now on that Lin is only on Hapas.com to vent, relax, etc. have fun...nothing more...nothing less.

It's all good Lin...I still like you as a person..would have been nice to meet you in person and be real friends with you...but hey that's not going to happen/not what you want so be it.

Have a good afternoon!

Sean
