Apr. 10th, 2002 01:06 amI guess I've been feeling kind of down for the past couple of days... for no discernable reason, since work and home and relationships are all satisfactory. I find myself brooding on my own insecurities and real and imagined shortcomings. Wondering why I have any friends at all... or when the people around me will see through the facade to the real person behind it, and then run away hastily.
Oh, well. Or not.
(bracing face-slap with appropriately cheap aftershave ) Today I met my boss's new boss, a former Sun executive who pumped me for corporate culture and orientation for 90 minutes. And we now have found a really neat new toy for the summer project (a one-shot panoramic camera). After going to a local city hearing this evening (on playground remodelling -- given that my kids play there), I went to San Jose to bi-coffee, wandering around for a half-hour until I found the place.
It was low-key and clustered in groups of threes and fours. After perfunctory greetings, I got my mocha, and stood around... after no one had talked to me or made eye contact in fifteen minutes, I had finished my cup and was just about to bail out when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hopeforyou kindly rescued me and came over to talk. Followed shortly thereafter by rmjwell and a couple of other folks. We discussed various thorny personal-perspective and relationship issues, which I'm still digesting and may talk about later. But the trip to San Jose proved worthwhile in any case.
