Finally a visit to atowne that wasnt a tragedy or emergency. Treatment is about a month over now, and new meds are in place and mom seems to be having a second wind. More lucid, more often and mobile even for a few hrs a day. Hopefully it'll last a few months. She wanted to take a day trip somewhere but decided instead that she wanted to retouch / fix her phoenix tatt, and that our mother daughter time would be best spent getting tattoos.
I'd begun to wonder if the lost mojo tatt from a couple yrs back would be a source of regret, as it never felt quite finished. Over time i realized that it was in fact quite lame, and sadly i wasn't even drunk at the time, so i was even more of a loser. But not now. Now itz totally hawt...

I spend all my time in online relationships anymore. Especially at work. My colleagues and i are all line consultants, working singlely or in pairs on different projects directly with clients. The only time we really see each other face to face is during our monthly 'town hall' firmwide meeting. Occasionally we'll work together in response to an RFP, or, in our spare time (read "nights and weekends") on internal initiatives (like knowledge management, training, etc). The relationships i have with colleagues in my firm are thus conducted pretty much entirely via IM and email, although once a month we do get together , and get drunk. The rest of the time we all pretty much work our asses off on client sites.
I'm not complaining. Itz just something that i realized today. Right about the same time i realized that i don't have a life. Itz possible that many of my colleagues don't either.
