Work has been a pretty big waste of nine hours today. I did learn a lot about a coworker. I found out that she actually knew and dated a guy named Joe Rob. Not Joseph Robert. Just Joe Rob…so we, here in the office, decided to attach “Bob” to the end of her name for good measure.

I promised a coworker that I would drive her to her second job today. Which means that I will sit in traffic without air for an extra twenty minutes or so. I am not thrilled about it, but am doing it for fear of bad karma. And if nothing else, this is my repayment to the universe for Casper letting me borrow HER car the other day. It all works out in the end. I wish the universe would repay me for all the money I have to give everyone every month.

I just got another call from Keanu. He calls every time they play a show. He is such a strange man. But strange in a funny, yet slightly sad sense. I don’t pity him, not in the least, but sometimes I catch a hint of sadness in his expression. It only lasts a second and then he slides it underneath that goofy smile and tucks all of that burden away. And then he is back to normal. He doesn’t think anyone sees it, but I do. And it makes me want to fix him too. That’s my curse. I just want to fix everyone.

I’ve started to see others as they truly are for once, instead of how I want to believe them to be. Its funny how your perception of people can change in the blink of an eye. I’ve had a some pretty good eye-openers the last couple of weeks. Someone who I thought was super mature and lovely…really kind of isn’t. Someone who I thought I could never trust again is slowly slipping back in to my heart. Someone who I really never took seriously is crying out for help. I guess it is easier not to see these things because I know I didn’t want to. I like to believe that people are good and strong and intelligent and trustworthy. I don’t want to see them as shallow, weak, sneaky, or ignorant. Now that I do though, it is easier for me to make an effort if they need me, and easier to back away if they aren’t worth it.
