Yes. I am talking about the after college breakdowns. The moments at night when I fly out of bed sure there is some assignment due tomorrow that I haven't finished yet. The ever oppressive feeling of things not accomplished, that goes hand-in-hand with the ball of dread located somewhere close enough to my stomach to make eating difficult. The eye twitches followed by caffeine withdrawal symptoms. Most note-ably shaky hands.
The agitation that comes while I am compiling a mental list of tasks and I realize I have done everything I need to do. Not only that but I have done several things I didn't ever need to do.
I hate waiting. I just want the stupid monster to jump out of the closet so I can beat it with my war hammer and go back to sleep.
I could never be a spy. Half (or more) of that job is waiting. It would kill me within the first mission.
Anyway.
Something super funny, mildly awkward, happened to me today while at Starbucks (I, alas, was not drinking coffee... like I said earlier I am trying to stop my insane caffeine consumption). I was writing a letter to a friend, minding my own business, when this guy sits right down at the table next to me. I was sitting on a long bench with three small tables, it was divided up to be individual but close enough that a group could sit and discus stuff. I was surprised because he could have sat one more down and left empty table between us. Then, and this is the kicker, he leans over taps my shoulder (I was listening to my mp3 player) and offers me a cup of cherries.
I am not joking. I was offered a cup of cherries by a strange man at Starbucks.
I didn't even know what to say. I just politely refused and went back to writing my letter. Honestly, who even does that?
LOL wow. He probably wanted to flirt. Was he at least cute?
