It's beginning to look alot like...

Procrastination, anyone?

Yeah, so I'm sitting here in the local coffee shop, talking to a friend about his computer. He needs to clean off some crap-ware that showed up a few weeks ago. I told him that it should be easy, and not take very long. We then started to talk about the pros and cons of tablets when a mutual friend came in, sat down, and hijacked the entire conversation. Now normally, I wouldn't give a shit, but a few things about this bothered me today...

1. They both work in a branch of health care, and they started talking about experiences at work that were frankly, disgusting. Washing people who don't have the ability to do it themselves, etc. I'll spare you.

2. This person in infamous for her desire to be the constant center of attention. She has been this way for as long as I have known her, and I have never, repeat never seen her just sit and listen. Sometimes she presents the appearance of such, but it's always because she's pissed that she's not the center of attention, and she's moping. Fucking tedious doesn't even come close to an accurate description.

3. He let her hijack the conversation we were having. Didn't politely ask her to wait a few while we finished our topic, he just turned to her, and started talking like I had just been beamed back to the Enterprise...

All of this is not unheard of in this generation, they can be more than a little self centered sometimes, but it doesn't end there.

Two more friends walk in a few minutes later, and came over to say hi. I had something I wanted to show them on my computer, and they said they wanted to see it, (A short video piece) but they wanted to get their coffee. They left, and never came back. The walked over to another table, sat down, and have been ignoring me for the last 45 minutes....Sure wish I knew what I said or did to make myself effectively invisible. It could come in handy in certain circumstances.

Family tedium continues, for anyone following. Nothing changes, and nothing is going to change.

More to follow later, but I have to run and pick up the boy.
