that's what you get!

What's up with that site you're working on anyway? Catch me on AIM some time if you want to talk about it.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i haven't had time to work on it much cause of real work. i'll aim you (i keep forgetting to add you to that) and we can go over it.

bah! i need like three weeks of time just to get things done!

[jayp39.livejournal.com]

That's fine, I've been super busy anyway, just wanted to make sure you didn't forget about me. ;)

[bertine.livejournal.com]

no forgetting, i promise.

dave is going to kill me soon, i am sure, bah!

Hey pal. Didn't you know you can't blink when you're on the Internet?

I'm glad to see you're still around.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i know, i know!

stupid quick moving internet!

tonight, i must respond!

[chelejean.livejournal.com]

don't feel too bad. i'm going back to work today after one week off, and i know i have about 300+ sitting in my inbox.
::chele falls over dead::

[bertine.livejournal.com]

have fun!

hopefully it won't be too bad...

[ctakahara.livejournal.com]

Only 50? Damn. I envy you.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

my average response time is usually around a day. i have emails that have been there for weeks!

[watashi-no-desu.livejournal.com]

*resists temptation to email you just for the hell of it* ;D

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

I have the same urge!

I'm selfish like that.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i have an email in my inbox from you already. :P

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

And you've already replied to it. You're the awesomest!

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Wait a minute! You din't.

But that's okay.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

that was waht i was about to say!

i am half way through my email. woo!

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

One would assume you'd have more time, what with J not distracting you.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

actually she usually reminds me that there is more to work than work. LOL

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

I see. So your productivity is high, but to our disadvantage. Doh!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

yeah, exactly, plus she makes me stop working at a decent hour.

though today i am outta here at 5 EXACTLY cause i am going stir crazy.

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Hooray for f_o_n_y!

I have a BBQ to attend tonight. I don't know why I don't want to go.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i never want to go to things like that.

my company party is tomorrow, i suppose i will go to that, but i don't really want to.

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Now why is that for you?

At least my friends are diverse. One is a Marxist and the other is an Objectivist. I don't know how they remain so close.

I'm not an anti-social person (despite the occasional claim to be otherwise). I'm actually quite a chatterbox once I feel welcome. But things are just a bother. Gotta stop for food. Gotta drive there. All that casual conversation. It's the "Eeyore" archetype in my personality, I suppose.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i am not anti-social, rather i just need a lot of time to regroup after being social.

i also think too much so i can't open up to people for a long time. plus i freak out before things, if i don't know enough people.

even if i do know a lot of people, i'll not really meet any new people.

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

I need unwind time as well. I don't know how some people need to always be around others. I like alone-time.

Yeah, I think too much as well. It is to the point that I don't pay proper attention. Then I can't remember what was said. Someone will be in the middle of a story before I start digesting stuff. I feel rotten when it happens.

People don't realize they need to establish communication before I can pay attention.

For instance, my boss can't just just walk in and say "Okay, I need this this and this". I'm just registering he's walking in the room. I always have to ask him to repeat.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

lol


i am not like that, i have too good of a memory and can't forget things.

it is annoying!

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Oh but that would be awesome!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

not really, i can remember, vividly, every stupid thing i have said.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

:P

i am just now getting through the livejournal ones right now. i still have 50 regular emails. sigh.

[lowa.livejournal.com]

bleble blable... are you done peeling yet?

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i finally am done peeling. i have a little tan too, it is nice.

how is work? i read your post, i think you just need more practice until you can walk that line of pushy and a good salesman

[lowa.livejournal.com]
