thing that made me sad today

it was good-looking maintenance guy's last day! :((and then! the guy had the nerve to tell me yesterday that he would be there today. so all day i sat waiting for him, gazing longingly out the window far too often, and having my ears perk up everytime i heard the back door open. by 11:00 i figured he wasn't coming (and i was taking this quite personally and getting very mopey). at 1:45 i pouted to karol and she felt my pain (she also thinks he's dreamy). she then went to sit down to take her break in the dining room while i finished my work in the kitchen. within 5 minutes she came bustling back saying 'i'm pretty sure i just saw him pull up!' (but he parks on the other side of the building, so we couldn't see for sure.) which got my hopes up. and i continued to get all excited when i heard the back door open. but it was never him. :(

karol and the others left at 2:00, but i had gone in late today, so i had to stay til 2:27. at 2:20 i pulled out a book and started reading. five minutes later, i felt a hand rubbing the back of my shoulder, and there he was being beautiful and saying good-bye. thank heaven i went in late today.

and that, *sniff* is the end of the saga of the good-looking maintenance guy.
