Being more social

5:39pm, pacific standard time, parking lot, Palm Springs convention center, Tuesday evening, November 8, 2022. Waiting to meet up with an old work colleague. We were going to a convention mixer then dinner, but he is running late. I kind of wish I cancelled; the night is dark, it is rainy and I am a long way from my hotel. However, I always tell my daughter to be social. Time to take my own advice, suck it up and make the the best of the situation.

A lot has changed

3:30pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Monday afternoon, May, 16, 2022. After I got home yesterday I took a nap, then went out to watch basketball at a local sports bars. It was nice to leave the house and be social. Tomorrow I have a panel interview for the job in San Diego. It is strange; when I talked with the hiring manager last week I was a fully employed candidate looking to move home. Now, I am a laid off employee looking for a job anywhere I can get it. A lot has changed in a short period of time.

Social Assignments

8:59am, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA, Thursday morning, April 21, 2022, day 7 of vacation. Yesterday was a day of recuperation. Our daughter went to lunch with a friend then came back to the apartment to make ice cream and play video games. I went to the gym, watched television and ate too much food. At six pm we went to an outdoor movie because her school recommended attending a social gathering during break. That made me jealous. I need someone giving me social assignments.
