Today was "remind Celia of all the boys she wants but can't have" day.There is currently no overlap at all between the "guys I want" and "guys I could have" categories, as usual. Does it count as saving one's self when one is simply waiting for someone who isn't a total loser and is interesting and interested? I think I have a suck monkey for my personal life. And he taunts me. You'd think eventually I'd have to stop meeting boys who are some shade of perfect-for-me but already taken. But it doesn't seem to work that way. Oblivious boy is, well, oblivious. Band boy is, I believe, less oblivious, but I don't know for sure, and besides, he's taken. And I swear, I just want to throw a temper tantrum. How dare they have already found someone else. Why isn't it my turn? It sucks, you know. And I don't see the sucking stopping in anything less than a year and a half or so. and even then it's only potentially better.

Okay, I think that's my whine for now. I'll try and be good and non-whiny for a while now.

Oh, and I watched the Avengers DVD. And was endlessly amused by it. I swear they have tea like, 40 times in it. every time anything happens, they all have tea. What do they think they are? Hobbits?

All in all--well worth the $5. I may need my mother to look and see if there's a copy of it for the podling, cause it's the first movie I've seen that I thought Ralph looked hot in, so she'd probably turn into a little puddle of coypu goo over it.

I used to know *everyone* here. I could rattle off details at the drop of a hat--room number, directions, phone number, surveys they work on, projects they work on--pretty much everything you'd need to know. This was when I was the admin assistant and was what I loved the best about being an admin assistant.

Currently, I'm clueless. A whole bunch of people I knew left for grad school (probably a sign that I should have as well), and the kids they got in to replace them are, well, kids. They're babies. I'm going to be 26 this birthday. (Ooh. wow. I'm old. I'd sort of forgotten how old I'd be turning) Not only do I not know names with faces, I can't even tell people apart. As soon as they step out of my office, I completely forget what they looked like, and have to play along every time one of them stops by to ask me a question. They all look alike. Well, okay, I can tell the boys apart, but there are only like 5 of them, and most have been here for a while. The girls, even the ones who have been here for a while, all blend together in my head.

I think it's time for a new job.

I figured it out. I figured out why I always feel that people identifying themselves as 'humanists' when they say they're not feminists pisses me off. Usually I get cranky trying to explain it, which probably means I shouldn't explain it that way, but I figured it out, I think. Basically, it annoys me because it seems to take the fact that women aren't treated equally out of the issue. It feels like a PC thing, and I don't want it to be PC, I want people to pay attention to the fact that women don't make as much, that places still treat them differently, and that despite 30 years of 'feminism' there are still way too many things that will need to be done so that women aren't treated like second class citizens. It's like arguing with people about gay rights, when they insist gays shouldn't get special treatment, and you want to grab them by the throat and shake them because it's not special rights, it's the same damn rights as everyone else. It's like the guy I went to a talk by, who used to be a spokesperson for a hate group. and he'd say they'd always explain it by saying, "well, it's not that we *hate* other groups of people, it's that we love our group so much."
