Do what you love or what the hell
This past weekend had a theme. "Do what you love". It was as simple as that. It's a life motto, words of wisdom to live by. We spent the days eating, drinking, singing and being merry. I spent time sitting, relaxing out on a boat; went and saw my friends acting in a local play; even had time to myself for videogames. Overall, the mission to do what we love was successful.
Now, Monday came. I swear the heat rolled in like a blanket of madness. It all started when I was picked up a half hour late for work; not bad, but it set the mood. Next, getting into work I notice my friend Chris isn't there. Turns out she was either fired or left the company. The most plausible rumor is the one stating she was given an ultimatum to move for the company or leave the company; suggesting she chose the later. She was the one I've known the longest in the company too, so it hurt to find out that she was gone.
This brings up a strange fact. She is better than me, in coding and development. My saving grace is my graphic and interface skills. Oh yeah, I might be going to India (Kolkata) for a couple months to hone these skills; working with the design team in India before coming back to Buffalo when R&D is done. That's cool with me though, spend a couple months in India then come back. I can handle that.
Then last night one of my best friends calls, "Hey man, guess what. Zach, Chris, Robby and I are all getting evicted". Now mind you these guys throw benders every weekend, and I can understand them getting a complaint or two. But guess what, it's not even the reason. A company bought out there house and apartment building and they don't want people renting out the front house.
Then another one of my best friend's lease is up on his studio apartment soon. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to be staying in a studio again.
Now what does their troubles have to do with me? I find out my current roommate is moving out. (Who also happens to be the guitarist from my now ex-band). I'm too social for him, he needs total quite for studying. I understand that, I've just already put in my college time, and am now reaping the benefits.
So all this happened within 36 hours. We may add a third room onto my house. I'm thinking buy a 6 man house and we all live there. I don't know; it's a pretty crazy time right now.
