lived in bars.
yesterday was one of those days. i got home late from work. went to put the running clothes on and they never got started in the dryer. waiting for them to dry, went to the grocery store with robin. 8:15 when we got home, hungry and tired. two days off in a row is what i'm saying. i didn't sleep well again because of it. why do weekend warriors obsess so? i'm disappointed, i gleaned a lot of confidence from this past weekend and now i'm back to where i was before (mentally that is).
i'm currently doing work for a tiny chinese Ph.D. who insists on using the tall urinal (too much info?). anyway, he is constantly sending me emails at all times of day, continually changing the scope of my work. anyway, besides that he is a really nice guy, and i've grown to appreciate his intent (very hard worker). i spoke with him at length last week about his struggles to get a green card. he has been in the u.s.a. for 11 years, the past 5 or 6 he has been on a work visa. he pays taxes. he works hard. he has a u.s. Ph.D. he is married with children (children born here). his application for a green card was 'passed over' because there is another applicant with his name, and rather than make a few calls they just put his application aside and it sits in limbo (it's been since 2002). in the mean time, he cannot travel to china to visit his aging parents (he is worried that he'll never see them again in person). and, he has to go to milwaukee every year and half to get finger printed because, apparently, his finger prints expire every 18 months. anyway, if an english speaking Ph.D. and his pharmacist wife have this much trouble with the immigration department, i can't imagine how it goes for an uneducated mexican laborer who is trying to do the right thing. i don't have a point really, just an observation.
wednesday already. holy moly.
happy wednesday.
