Another week, another dollar.
It is already friday again. Time to enjoy the summer for two days. The weather has been great and I have managed to get out a lot lately, which is nice, but I have not been sleeping enough lately which is a bit of a downer. I miss having time off. I wish I could really travel. That one week in June was such a tease, now it is like the summer is over, I have nothing to look forward to. I am really seeing the merits in the French system of a universal one month summer holiday... if only it were realistic in the modern world...
My coworker quit today. He is a cool guy. Leon Kaplan, a Jewish Brazillian writer. I bought his book and was surprised that it is all about his auto biographical main character's encounters with prostitutes and other women. It is a bit shocking in parts, but still a good read. It kept me busy through the afternoon after my area of the office cleared out. He wants to make it as a professional writer... and was not so interested in spending his summer in an office. I admire that, but am unable to emulate it. The office will be a poorer place without him.
I am becoming more aware that Rae is going to Taiwan soon. Do we really only have one month left togther? This does not seem right... I would love to go with her, to travel with her brother and sister in law but the money is not there and my parents would not support it. I am not looking forward to another airport scene... The time between now and then is also marred by the fact that both of us live with our parents and that I am working full time. It has been a month and I still don't know what to do about this... Maybe we should start going away on weekends.
Greg went away to New York and Montreal for a few weeks. I am sure he will have a good time. I saw him on wednesday and we went to 1215 for some sake. He is actually starting to like Vancouver more, if only slightly which is good because he will stay here for at least one more year. On the other hand, I do understand his criticisms of this place, which I share too.
I hope my whole summer is not like this. Not that I don't enjoy it - walking to work, sleeping with my eyes open for eight hours, meeting Noah for a drink and talking about how we are bored with our jobs, watching TV and going to bed far too late - but by now it lacks any novelty or sense of accomplishment. Maybe I should spend more time at the beach... Maybe I should get out of town more... Maybe I should quit my job and be a hippie for a few months... Maybe I am already too old to be thinking these thoughts.
