Finally out of work! What a hectic week, as usual. Whenever there is a commerce push, I'm always delayed doing my normal work. I'm not sure who's fault it is for all the delays, if it's people dicking around or what. But it's quite frustrating. I was also getting changes Friday Morning when I should have them all by Thursday morning at the latest. Being the email kamakazi that I am (email is suuuuuuuch a good way to communicate), I replied with some bitchy emails remarks and beseeched my boss to "set a standard" or something, set a weekly due date. If people change their minds about what they want on the site, then they will have to put that request in for the next week. Normally I don't mind late requests, but with 5 other things going on in the week preventing me to even start all the other requests people have given me, I went off.

I'm waiting for David to pick me up. We're going to Palm Springs for the weekend and staying with Kelly. I knew Kelly before I met David; David and Kelly have been friends for over 20 years. I've pseudo-slept with Kelly (fooled around, I guess); I've been intimate with David, going to dinner, sleeping in his bed, but haven't had sex. I know that David was interested in me, and I've distanced myself from him so he'll lose interest. I want to definately sleep with Kelly again, but I would feel bad about David. Kelly probably wouldn't have me anyway since I'm back at my pinacle of portliness. I'm wearing burgundy pants I bought back in Atlanta, and they're tight on me when 6 months ago no belt of mine could keep them on me!

Speaking of weight, I joined 24hr Fitness once again. I stopped going last March I think, because of electronic withdrawl issues I was having with them - they were taking too much money out or something to that effect. I had been paying $15 a month when I was going because my roommate is also a member, and I joined on his account. Apparently in the last 8 months, they've raised their family member rates to $28. I inquired about a $19 a month offer I saw advertised somewhere and was told that membership has restrictions; you're limited to work out either on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday-Saturday or Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday-Sunday schedule. This is a better choice, so I went with it, though I don't have a checking account (I'm switching banks at the moment), so I had to pay $75 for a one-month membership and I have until December 28th to transfer my membership over to the $19/month membership, paying the $138 difference from the one-month membership. I'm looking forward to working out once again, but not during the Winter - it's sooo damn cold. Well, for San Diego. It's in the mid-50s, and it kills me already just getting out of bed and from the warmth of my comforter. I about pass out getting out of the shower in the morning, the cool air biting at my wet body. So I really am not joygastic about the possibility of waking in the AM or going to work out in the late PM (work is so unaccomodating until I get my car next month) when it's freezing outside and I've been manically sweating.

Today's the last day of November, my favorite month....Travis would have been 13 yesterday. My grandmother would have been 66 on November 19th. Sara turned...how old??! I don't know, but her birthday and Sam's 23 birthday was on November 23rd. And Deanna, Melissa and my birthday were all on the 26th. I ended up going out Wednesday night to celebrate on my own. I didn't notice that Matt was there, and he said, "Fine, Josh, don't say hi," which invited a reply of "okay." He didn't talk to me at all, and left without me even noticing. Troy was there, and he was fun. I think Paige was hitting on him; Troy looked like a trapped animal, so I slurched over to where he was to rescue Troy. We went to Jack in the Box afterward, not helping my diet but certainly satiating the jumbo jack craving I was having.
