The IBM project ended up being like eight hours worth of recording last week. I completed it early, in my usual upbeat and peppy manner and got a sore throat as a result. I went to a Chinese networking event Monday… It was so-so. I met a Chinese guy there who works for the SF government. He said he’d help me with the job process for the public utilities division– they’re hiring engineers.

So I met with him on Friday, and he did this weird thing with holding my hand and rubbing it with his thumb. Having never experienced such a bizarre incident before, I freaked out and couldn’t even answer his question asking what kind of dogs I had! Uh, uh… I have two mutts… um a shepherd mix and a um… pointer mix. I’m a retard. Then, instinctively (and immediately) I pointed to a picture on his desk and asked him about his family and kids. I know, I have absolutely no polish, but wtf? I was caught off guard. When he asked what I had planned for the rest of the day, I said I had to run errands for my husband (meanwhile, I was already wearing my ring… hello!). When I finally got out of there, I took the metro home, went to the Apple store to buy laptops for John’s work, and then realized I didn’t have my wallet. Basically, I’d lost my wallet and then had to retrace my steps all the way back downtown (30+ minute commute) and back to freaky guy’s office!! And John and I were traveling Saturday to Seattle! So I was a total stressed out mess.

In the end, John found my wallet on the passenger side of the car, by the door. Damn thing had fallen out of my purse and through the crack. I always lose important things 1) when I’m PMSing 2) when I’m menstruating and/or 3) the day before a trip. Good thing I’m not working for the airlines. I’d be losing stuff all the damn time! Oh well, I’m just glad we found my wallet. Sigh!
