Back To Work Monday

Monday, Jan. 05, 2009 - 12:36 a.m.

Yesterday evening, somebody buzzed our intercom and asked for a neighbor.

John said that if the neighbor wasn't answering their buzzer it means they werent home, sorry, goodbye now!

The person buzzed us some more and John finally answered and said to please stop buzzing the intercom or he'd call the police.

I threw clothes on and grabbed my phone and went down the stairs, but whoever had been pestering had disappeared.

This is a secured building, and the neighbor in question keeps inviting people in who don't live here. That's fine, except then the neighbor dribbles off to work with the strangers still in his apartment and a few of them are a weensy bit ... twitterpated.

Hard to explain. After the vandalism from Stupid Larry's kids, and the deaths of two different people in the building? We just want peace and security, and if any of those flaky guests of the neighbor decide they don't like being rebuffed when they decide it's okay to disturb us?

Let's just hope it doesn't come to that.

Today, John goes back to work.

Boy did I ever make his vacation *fun*.

The first half, he scratched his face while growing me my Christmas goatee. The second half, he coughed because I brought home a bug.

I am presuming that next year, he's likely to stash me in Anaheim for at least part of his vacation.

Otherwise, he'll need a vacation.

It was a good productive amount of time for him to spend at home; he got to work on his latest fanzine, which he loves.

I don't *think* we had any of those getting on each other's every last nerve events, and I don't even think there were close calls, either.

Did we really spend fifteen entire days in each other's presence alone and not go nuts?

Well, I guess it helps if we're each already there anyway. In the good way.

Besides, we had a wonderful last night; at John's suggestion, we finally watched 'Ironman', which had absolutely spectacular special effects, and a really good story -- and I marvelled at the irony of having Jeff Bridges in the cast, when he'd been in 'Tron' those many thousands of years ago.

I think that's it from here. Have a good Monday, and if you're going back to work after a stretch, I hope you can make a few moments of peace and quiet and drink some tea during a break.

Take care, see ya tomorrow.
