Back on the Job
last wednesday my old dispatcher adam called me, saying that 2 people had quit and that he was offering me my old job back. i told him i'd be in the next day. that day i strapped a front brake on my bike, lubbed up the chain, and started eating a ton of food. when i was a messenger before i could never get enough to eat, and i fear this same problem will afflict me shortly.
i worked thursday, friday, and then today, and i must say, i'm pretty happy doing this job again. it's fairly nice weather, i'm getting back in shape, and i'm tearing around the city again, so things are good. i'm probably pleased with it cause i know it's temporary, so i know that after a month when i get bored i'll just find a new job.
this last weekend was chock filled with good times. first there was a party at vanessa's house, where there was ridiculous dancing, tons of nice booze, and the chance to snap some images of megan passed out on the couch.
then saturday my good friends aaron and bj had there commitment ceromony, aka the wooting. i really didn't know what to expect, but i admit that i was deeply moved and impressed with how it came out. they had invited bj's godfather to preside over the event, and he gave them ample time and room to express themselves about their love, their commitment, and about how important it was for them to continue to have their community in their lives to support them. they had obviously spent a great deal of time deciding what they could promise to each other, the general sentiment being that they would love and support each other and grow together, without any difficult promises about 'til death do us part.' seeing how all of their friends, including me a little, came together to cook all the food, transport all the wedding accoutrements, and make sure everything that needed to happen happened made me proud of the do it yourself ethic my community embodies. after seeing how original and personal everything was, it made me feel a little that normal weddings are much more routine.
check out megan's photos here, they are better then mine.
then saturday night there was another party, and sunday my friend Mols and went swimming at ocean beach to wash away the slight hangover from the night before. the swimming may become a ritual, with or without the hangovers.
today at work i did 32 tags, my personal best, and had no break between 8:30 am and 5:15pm. i'm exhausted, but i feel good. it's nice.
