Five hours of cheese

yesterday was a boring..ohwaitWTFhowdidIgetsobusy sort of day at work. it started off sort of run of the mill, if not dull. then david called to say that the art. department was going to go to zokku for his birthday lunch and hey, would i like to join them. so i went to zokku where 13 bucks got me the salmon terriyaki lunch plate with sashimi, tempura, salad, miso soup and rice. it was so much food. and surprisingly tasty. i say surprising because i remembered it being only just decent food. maybe it was because this time it was mostly hot food and not specialty rolls.

during lunch me and the art department talked about work. you always try to talk about something else, but when the main thing you all have in common is your workplace, you end up talking what you know. it's sort of depressing really. right now our two sides of the campus are warring. it's assinine really. and all of us worker bees are just in the middle. it made me feel like i was there spying on them or something....

which leads us to the rest of the work day.
the war is built on an internal territory grab and right now poor camille is stuck in the most awkward situation. and really, so am i. and i was pretty pissed off that everyone had been jockeying to be the team to get this thing done, but not taking into consideration that once you figure out who claims it, you still have to actually DO IT. and also not taking into consideration that HELLO. i am the one who is going to be doing it. so WHY ON EARTH are you dragging me into this at 2pm on a friday afternoon when it needs to be done before going home that night? and why did no one figure to include me until i decided HELLO. if this is going to get done let's have a conversation get it figured out.

f'ers.

i didn't get out of there until 7pm. 7pm on a FRIDAY.
on a friday when i actually got in at a normal (9am) time.
sidenote: i suppose it's moments like this when i'm like oh, okay i guess i am an alright employee.

afterwards camille IM'd me and said that after all this cheese sounded good. i agreed and so we met up at her house for an afterwork cheese. we ended up talking for too long first and then decided to move the conversation to somewhere over food. on a mission for cheese we got into the car and drove up and down a few streets. after a while we ended up at kasbah, only because i remembered they had a breaded flaming cheese (the bright blip in the photo here). our service there was terrible. the cheese took forever to prepare and the one dish was over lemoned. i decided then that i'd go there for some sort of special occassion (like someone has a birthday) but that i wasn't going to suggest it again.

afterwards we headed back to her house and ended up at the bonn lair. we were there chatting until last call (around 12:30? they have an early last call). we stayed there for a bit longer until camille said i looked exhausted. i did. i was. it was nice to hang out with her. i'm surprised we hung out for so long and now i'm really wondering yo camille, why haven't we really hung out much before?
