Completely natural and therefore foreign.

I was outside today. On purpose, too. And not just for the time it took me to walk from building to car to building to car to building again. No. I was outside today for nearly an hour. I saw a tiny pond and trees and people and dogs and pathways and benches. So very weird in that completely-natural-and-therefore-foreign sort of way.

So... who showed up for this miraculous and strange event other than the most obvious - me? My district manager.

And?

No And? is required. Just her. Only.

I would be disappointed, but... I fucking showed up. I was there. I did it. I said I would and I did, regardless of whether I had better things to do or less interesting but maybe more enjoyable things to do - like debate whether you can properly pluralize water or if it's simply measureable as part of a large collective and is therefore defined by the container or area it fills (two glasses of ice water rather than two ice waters) or nap. Whatever. I was there and that's what matters. Lead by example. It builds character. Blah blah cliche blah blah.

It was actually better that way. I had a lovely conversation with my district manager as we walked the many trails throughout the park and sweat and drank from bottles (water bottles, or in my case gatorade, but there it is again, bottles instead of waters - perhaps it's simply my preference, but pluralizing water seems ridiculous.) for nearly an hour. It wasn't boring or strange. It was relaxing, actually.

I came home, showered, and then eagerly tried to log in to the site to post my active time and... denied. The site is down. I was reassured by the text on the screen that tech support had been notified. How nice. I guess I'll check back tomorrow or later. I don't even care. I'm very zen and dungivashit right now.

Peace.
