Work today was all parts chaotic, fun, weird and exhausting.

Chaotic: in that, I showed up this morning having no idea that the guy who'll be replacing me would be there for some kind of mini-training. Not a big deal, but it threw me for a loop. Not to mention that Mike (IT guy) had decided to take my laptop sometime over the course of the weekend so I was a bit weirded out to find that missing when I got in. And he'd already taken the computer in my other cube out so Chris (the replacement guy) had no computer to work on for the first half of the day. So, I showed him what I could, which was very little since I'm pretty much all caught up on shit. Plus, he worked there last summer so basically knows everything, just needs a refresher. And had a shitload of mail today. Which was fun. I gave Chris a refresher on that and then let him scan it all because I'm evil.

Fun: I got a lot of goodbyes and pseudo-hugs and well-wishes today from everyone about the trip. Jen asked if I'm going to kiss the Blarney stone and I told her I'm holding out for other options. Heh. Later on, I was explaining something to Tanya about the archiving I'm doing and she accidentally said 'dick' instead of 'disk' which had me, Chris and Renee rolling for about five minutes. It was much funnier than it sounds, trust me. And as I was leaving, Tanya said something about seeing me when I get back. I told her I hope so and she got all huffy: "Hope so?? You'd better come back!" So that made me feel good. Heh.

Weird: The replacement guy? Chris? Reminds me SO much of Ryan. So much. It's almost eerie. Has nearly the same colour eyes, nearly the same maneurisms, same facial hair thing that Ryan had senior year. Everything. It really really weirded me out. It helps that Chris is gay, though. (He talked about his boyfriend, it was very cute.) But... yeah. It kind of made me uncomfortable in that I-really-shouldn't-be-attracted-to-him-at-all-so-why-am-I kind of way. Meh.

Exhausting: Add up the above, plus the regular shit, an utterly miserable muse and stress over the next 48 hours and yes. Exhausting.

So, I think I'll head to bed early and get up early to start packing. Funfun.
