Sleeping in the Office

I got to spend 2 straight nights in the office recently. We transferred buildings, you see. I volunteered to help out, but my best friend was spending the night, so I figured to spend the night there (here) as well. He might need some assistance.

It is quite funny to spend around 23 hours or so in the office (I had to get out about an hour or so each day to go to the gym or to get something to eat). I never imagined myself to be doing so. But it was a welcome thing for me because I got to bond with The Best Friend.

Notice how I wasn't able to post in such a long time? Well, all our servers were down during the entire weekend and the holiday Monday. I am still here in the office with The Best Friend and the wife of The Best Friend (who also happens to be one of my best friends) setting up some PCs and doing whatever we can to be able to officially start work tomorrow.

I am just resting, that's why I got to squeeze in this blog.

I haven't seen my parents for a long time. I won't be able to see them tonight as well, I'm afraid. They would probably be fast asleep when I arrive. I went home yesterday and the other night but they went to some provincial district that my grandmother calls home. I wanted to go with them, but they never invited me.

I guess, I will have to get used to those kinds of things, my family leaving me behind, I mean. Sooner or later, I will have to leave them as well to settle down and have a family of my own. But at the rate I am going, I guess I'll be the last one among us siblings to get settled down.

I need to get back to work now. There are still a number of PCs to set up. The Best Friend beckons! Ciao!

I haven't seen my parents for almost a year. Don't you want to move out of your folks' place and live independently?

if i were The Best Friend (or the wife of The Best Friend), either i'll be totally annoyed or i'll be really scared. the way you idolize him borders on stalking. & to brag about it on your diary? man, that's scary! or downright gay... hmmm... and why the heck would you need or wait for your family's invitation to join your family's vacation? that's soooo loser talk.

Hey Anonymous, this dude holds friendships very dearly, so much more than I ever will any relationship, save for that between my daughter and myself. Maybe you're just jealous because no friend of yours will ever consider you inspiration for a blog. Well, this guy just did. Doesn't it make you feel warm all over? If it doesn't, tell me and I'll have someone pee on you so you can, well, feel warm all over.

As for waiting to be invited to a family trip, I think it's very sweet (but absolutely NOT gay) to want to visit your grandparents and spend some time with family. And I don't see anything wrong with how he feels about his family "leaving" him or not getting invited to family vacations. Just shows how strongly he feels about family. I guess you're the type who'd rather spend weekends guzzling beer with buddies than spending quality time with family.

Judging from the arrogant note in your comment, your values are far too different from The Cerebro's. To each his own. And I certainly admire The Cerebro's values.

Wasn't the issue about his being not invited by the family to go with them? The post was surely too short & straightforward to be misinterpreted. Tsk tsk. So to you, categorically imprerative or should I say "disturbed, confused, semi-functional. A cross between bitch and slut, something like what the fifth girl's like in The Fifth Wheel, minus the fake boobs," with this description of yourself, no wonder you are prone to delusions. Now it is clear why you admire Cerebro's values so much. You don't stray too far from the flock.

Ayan kase... nakikisawsaw sa comment ng may comment. May dahilan ang lahat ng bagay. Hindi kaya frustration ang nag-udyok kay Anonymous (at hindi dahil gusto nya lang maisulat sa blog na ito) para magkumento ng ganoon? para nga kasing may pagka-pathetic ang blog na ito ni cityslicker. Maaaring may gusto syang ipahiwatig maliban sa pag-dis sa entry na ito, na sadly ay di nakuha nina categorically imperative at ni cityslicker. Maaari ding magkaiba kayo ng pagkakakilala sa may-akda, anonymous at categorically imperative. Di natin alam. ang tanong, sino ang higit na nakakikilala sa tunay na cityslicker?

Ok ok, so it's another Anonymous ganging up on you.

I find your comment rude, to say the least. I have no issue with "best friend" or "wife of best friend" and i have no particular passion for it. I have no interest with these anonymous posters as well.

But you... I'll make an exception.

Given the chance (which I doubt you will give), I will personally pee on you.

I can be as rude as you can be, and maybe even more.
