I tried to get a sense for your face, of whether you're too embarassed to apologize or still somehow convinced you were right. All I got was "oh shit... don't look at me... then it's obvious to others I'm not talking to you anymore..." as you turned your head away and avoided me all evening. I don't miss our friendship. I've just been around long enough to know it's a pain to have long standing grudges in such a small "community". I don't need an apology but I will never understand those who can't manage basic civility over a year later. If anyone should be angry, it should be me for the 2 massive insults. I realise the 2nd was likely a result of the 1st (even though it's the 2nd that put the nail in the coffin of our friendship for me).

"So I guess we're back to us, oh cameraman, swing the focus
In case I lost my train of thought, where was it that we last left off?
(Let's pick up, pick up)

Oh now I do recall, we were just getting to the part
Where the shock sets in, and the stomach acid finds a new way to make you get sick.
I hope you didn't expect that you'd get all of the attention.
Now let's not get selfish
Did you really think I’d let you kill this chorus? "

Dr. Noble was a real treat to hear as always. He actually remembered me from Meredith's workshop in Winnipeg! I was so very flaterred by that. Beatrice is back home! I got the sound system exchanged! That's right, now when people come over to play Mario on a 6 feet screen, the sound will be as spectacular :p The best conversations I had tonight by far came from

the_earlofgrey. That guy makes me stop and rethink so much, I really feel lucky to have him as a friend. I will learn not to kid about the lost book and misinterpratations, I promise!

bank_on_this and I played a few games of chess recently, I think I might be able to last a little longer next time we play!

I was asked to invite Muslins on my team observing Ramadan to a pot luck we're having at HBC to celebrate Thanksgiving. I want you to think about the akwardness I felt at the request. HBC's early history of giving the blanket containing the bacteria that wipe masses of 1st Nations, Thanksgiving being about the white colonist celebrating their "new home" on others land, and making someone observing a fast go to a pot luck. Did I? No. I asked the woman who asked me to pass the anouncement along if she'd taken Ramadan into account. I pointed out the issues to another co-worker who agreed it seemed "silly" (her choice of word) and I asked my supervisor to have a meeting with me tomorrow to review this "social gathering".
