Ok, admittedly, this quote is a bit tougher so if you need hints I'll offer one or two on it.
Ah the heady scent of Monday morning in the office, fresh coffee to caffeinate the worker drones and get them moving, the staleness that clings to the offices until the air conditioning kicks in, and the intermingling perfumes of my co-workers in the editorial cubicles. There's nothing quite like it.
Had a pretty relaxing weekend altogether and got to see both MIB 2 and The Powerpuff Girls with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
h0h0 and tersa respectively. Skipped PEERS due to complete burnout and instead spent the evening getting caught up, organized, and rested for the first time in a long time. Good thing too as this week is looking to be hectic. And then last evening was the adorable cyranocyrano's birthday which we enjoyed over sushi and with very good company.
It hit me last night that I've gotten used to going home with Sue and standing in the hall and chatting over the day's events. I've gotten used to her habits, her likes and dislikes, her moods and feelings...and in some ways I feel rather like we're going through a tremendously amicable divorce at the moment. It's all very positive and we're both happy for one another, but the strangeness of not living with her in a very short period of time is intense.
It's hard to describe really, but we grew very close for a time, especially whenh0h0 was recovering from surgery. And of course there were times when we barely spoke to one another as well. But the latter times were few and far between, and frankly I'd rather just focus on all the good stuff. It's going to make the next few weeks a little bittersweet, but I'm glad I won't be losing a friend, rather, that she'll just be moving a little farther away.
But back to the subject line, it's more than just a great movie quote, it's kind of how I've tried to live my life. I don't always succeed, and when I've a mind to I can be a royal bitch. But it's a goal for me, one that keeps me striving to improve myself and my interactions with others. It does seem "simple" when you think about it, but often it's one of the hardest things in the world to do.
Wouldn't it be nice if we all tried to live by that simple rule?
