Last week I ended my two month relationship with Dan. Something happened that made me realize that it wasn't fair for him to be dealing with the consequences of the choices I make for myself.

I got my Madonna tickets in the mail today.

Soon I'll have my exit interview, give up my keys and leave the building for the last time ( Read more... )

To follow up on my last entry, I reread what I had written, discussed it with a co-worker, called the online dealer and cancelled the order. Then I went to a T-Mobile store and got a new cell phone, complete with a 415 area code and a clock set to Pacific Standard Time, in less than 20 minutes.
