Maggie called about 10:30 last night, just as I was getting ready to go to bed. She and Lego are home from USC on Spring Break, and they’d decided to go see one of our old high school teachers, and she wanted to invite me.
First off, she asked when I was working today, which just kinda surprises me. I work full-time, 8 - 5, just like I have for EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS!
I did, however, decide to randomly go and just go into work late this morning. I meant to send Michael an email letting him know, but it turns out it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. While we were in the school, I got a call (since cell phones don’t really work, probably intentionally, in the building) that was garbled. All I made out was that it was the follow me feature on our phone system, someone trying to track me down. Since I didn’t hear the name, I assumed someone would call my cell directly if they really needed me.
When we got out of the school, I called Michael’s cell, only to find out that he was driving back from Charlotte, and wasn’t at work either. He said he’d just talked to Jeff a few minute previous, and nothing had been mentioned about a problem, so I decided everything must be alright and went to breakfast with Meeke and Lego.
As we were walking into Bojangles, my mom called, and said they were having a problem getting their email. I figured it must just be an isolated problem, since again; no one had given me a call yet. As I left Bojangles, I called Ron’s cell, only to find out that yes, they were all having a problem with email, and they were in the process of restarting the Exchange server, which fixed the problem. Oh well, it all worked out.
Anyway, back to the school. I go there a few minutes before Maggs and Lego did, so I went on inside when I saw some old friends walking in. Andrea was one of them (yeah, she’s one of the other girls I’m more or less obsessed with lately). I got a hello and a goodbye hug from her, which was nice, because she’s normally paranoid about people touching her.
A few minutes later, I saw Maggie and Lego coming in, so we ran off to see Youngblood. We shocked the hell out of him, and had a good conversation. He was pissed about Enterprise being canned as well, and we traded all the rumors we’d heard about the end of the season. He kicked us out when class began, but I also got a hug from Jackie (aside from the coffee cutie, she’s the other big one I’m obsessed with lately, and lives a block away from me). Apparently she and her boyfriend have finally broken up (he was a total loser and didn’t deserve her anyway). Maybe that means there’s actually a chance with her, given my failures with “Alecia” recently (see entry “Coffee + Love != Win” [incoherentbabble.com]). One can only hope.
It was really weird being back in the old high school, having been out of it for several years now. I was standing around, hoping I didn’t see my brother anywhere. All the freshmen were so little. Very scary.
