demerits

Jim: Oh, what’s this?
Dwight: That is a demerit.
Jim (reading paper): “Jim Halpert, tardiness.” Oh, I love it already.
Dwight: You’ve got to learn, Jim, you’re second in command, but that does not put you above the law.
Jim: Oh I understand. And, I also have lots of questions. Like what does a demerit mean?Dwight: Let’s put it this way. You do not want to receive three of those.
Jim: Lay it on me.
Dwight: Three demerits, and you’ll receive a citation.
Jim: Now that sounds serious.
Dwight: Oh it is serious. Five citations, and you’re looking at a violation. Four of those, and you’ll receive a verbal warning. Keep it up, and you’re looking at a written warning. Two of those, that’ll land you in a world of hurt. In the form of a disciplinary review, written up by me and placed on the desk of my immediate superior.
Jim: Which would be me.
Dwight: That is correct.
Jim: Okay, I want a copy on my desk, by the end of the day, or you will receive a full disadulation.
Dwight: What’s a dis … what’s that?
Jim: Oh, you don’t want to know.

mariah carey y brian mcknight - whenever you call (live)

this one is dedicated to adam...ah, good times... :)

here we go again

Once again I spent the evening with a friend, helping him to pack up "his life" as he moves on. Granted, he will be returning for a few weeks in August, but shortly thereafter, he will have moved on to pursue a great opportunity that will most definitely advance his career. I realized last night, that I have gone through this process with several friends on several occassions. Moving on is a very natural part of life. The problem is, however, I get attached. While I am excited for their progression and opportunity, I am saddened by the natural change in our relationship, that takes place as a result. Yes, yes, I know it's a part of life. But it doens't mean that I have to like every bit of it.

But on the up side, I was able to go to his graduation and watch as he walked at this prestigious institution. We had a lovely walk trying to find a place to eat, consumed half of New York's water reserves while at dinner at a swanky little place called Cafeteria. I showed him the finer art of packing and managed to fit all of his belongings into the allotted space. And then enjoyed Man vs. Wild, a crazy show about a thrillseeker who tries to survive in the wilderness in various locations. Couple this evening with many other fun times and this is what friendships are made of. I guess people will always come and go...but the good thing about life is that the memories always remain.
