Because I spent most if it the XML class, today was pretty uneventful.
Usually taking a class at HQ presents an opportunity to see some of the “beautiful people”who work at HQ, but today wasn’t one of those instances.
Not in class, anyway.
After all, when you take a technical class, particularly one that’s sort of esoteric like XML, the female enrollment tends to be pretty low.
There were two women in the class, but, to put in the nicest terms possible, they were total dogs.
XML itself is kind of interesting, but I’m not sure that it’s something I’ll get much use from having learned.
We’ll see, though.
Kathleen left work early, so I wasn’t able to meet with her for lunch. She and Brian were meeting at that Indian place and she invited me along, but it was a bit too much of a drive to make in order to get there and back in less than an hour.
As I usually do when I eat at the cafeteria at HQ, I defaulted to pizza.
Most everything else they make is kind of iffy, and because even bad pizza tends to be better than most things (and the pizza there isn’t actually bad), it’s easiest just to grab a slice.
After that it was back to class.
And now here I am.
It occurred to me earlier today that if I were still married today would be my 14th wedding anniversary.
I’m not going to get caught up in nostalgia, or say too much about it. After all, all things considered, despite the fact that I do get lonely (at least in general; I don’t get lonely for her), the end of my marriage isn’t something I get especially misty-eyed over.
My marriage falls into the category of “seemed like a good idea at the time.”
But from this vantage point I realize that 14 years with that woman wouldn’t have exactly been blissful anyway, so, all things considered, it’s better that it ended when it did.
Still, considering my current circumstances it’s a little bothersome to think that, once upon a time, this was the one day of the year that I was guaranteed to get laid…
