Work has been out of control. I found out that the coworker that I have such issues with has OCD and hasn't been taking her medication for the past 3 weeks. She confided this to me and asked me not to tell anyone. Of course I won't, but I was appalled that she told me - not appalled that she has OCD - AT ALL - but that she told me and what am I supposed to do with this information? Agh. Then she literally blew up in a meeting with Marketing and G actually got angry. I've never seen him angry, let alone so angry. She got up and left about 3 minutes later, and it turns out she left for the day. She is a mess. And I need to make it work, somehow, because I might be supervising her down the road, and because my irriation with her is 75% political.

I was the only one at the aerobics class tonight - it was me, and the two instructors. They weren't super skilled, as I mentioned in a previous entry, but they were thrilled that I was there and asked me for all kinds of input. I mentioned that I led step classes in college, and they said I should sign up to be an instructor. No thank you. One neat thing - both of them are going to Africa to climb Mt. Kilaminjaro. God, I lived there and I can't spell it. You know what I mean. I listened to my new Paul Oakefeld-something CD on the treadmill - I like it. I've always thought club music is good to work out to. The beat.

I had a great time with S's friend and wife. They're both teachers, our age, liberal, funny, and great company. We were only out for two hours, but that's all I need. Two hours of good conversation every so often. Thank goodness for online conversations! There was something that seemed a bit awkward to me - they are really, really close to Steve's old girlfriend and her husband, who just had a child, and they were telling us all about them and the new baby. Perhaps I'm overly sensetive because she really was the only other important woman in his life. I also remember being so jealous when we were out east and a cousin of S's said to him, "I remember visiting you when you were in high school, and you had that motor cycle and totally hot girl friend..." Since this is my journal I'm just going to admit that that made me jealous and I still think about it. There's no rationality to my feelings about it...there's none, but that has never stopped me. I also found myself watching for AJ. Again, not rational, but there. We go out so little, and the bar we went to was one that AJ and I went to all the time, so perhaps there is some logic but not enough.

The sunrises and sunsets have been so beautiful lately - I get to see both - one on the way to work and the other on the way home. I love sunrises and sunsets. I'm grateful for them.
