(Un)Interruptions

My roommate's been missing for the past few days.  She's been coming around to get something and then immediately leaves.  She hasn't, as far as I can tell, been sleeping in her bed. 
I'm not sure how to interpret this.  On one hand, it could be that she is just crazy busy or has a new boyfriend or something.  On the other hand, it could be that she's angry at me and instead of talking to me, has just decided to leave.  (She has a sister nearby; maybe she's staying with her or at her place?) 
It's hard to know what Nina is thinking, as she is in and out so fast.  She has a set schedule during the week.  She's usually gone by nine in the morning.  This morning she came in the room at around ten, which, in all my time living with her, she's never done.  I was totally surprised to hear her come in.  (I was trying to sleep.  She seems to hate that I am such a fan of naps, although I've decided to nap only when she's gone.) 
I am enjoying getting full nights of sleep.  I had forgotten how satisfying uninterrupted sleep is. 

Without Explanation

I had a dream a couple of nights ago that I was working in a very nice office, with all this beautiful wood paneling.  I was sitting at my desk, with a laptop open, playing a podcast, and I was looking through the drawers.  Inside were various medical tools, scalpels and the like.  I must work in a medical supply company? 
I think it's very strange to be dreaming about work.  And maybe a sign that I'm overworked, because don't normal people dream about sex or flying or being famous or something mundanely selfish?  I always dream about small moments without explanation. 

More Window Drama

Last week, I said some mean things to my roommate about the window situation, and then, it was fixed.  It was nice, and I was pleased I had finally gotten through to her.
Then it was open last night.  It was a nice week.  I already miss it. 
Everytime I think "Okay, now this drama is over," it comes up again.
I'm hoping she goes out and gets drunk tonight so she can't control anything. 

The Origins of Steampunk

As I've mentioned before, I'm into steampunk.  I just came across this post from a fellow steampunker (if that's the correct term), talking about a research project he's been working on about the origins of steampunk.  He says that he's expanding the project, but that he needs help.  If anyone has any ideas, leave him a comment. 

Drinking Money

My roommate went out drinking last night. Who goes out drinking for five hours on a Wednesday night?
And where in God's name does she get the money for alcohol? I go out about once every two weeks and try to confine myself to fifteen dollars (though I sometimes manage to make it twenty.)

Training

Alexander was training me with some new computer stuff.  Mostly, it went well.  I weirdly enjoy myself.  It makes me feel peaceful. 
Maybe a little too peaceful, since I screwed up and erased some data Alexander had taken care of.  And then, to make it worse, I couldn't figure out how to fix it (that's what this training is for.)  The good news is that it took me a while, but I figured it out.  I kept thinking he was going to show up and ask me what was taking so long.  I did eventually figure it out, and rushed over to make sure he knew I was done. 
He didn't say anything.  Hopefully he didn't notice?

Picture This

One of my friends pointed me to this picture.  I really approve of it.
