I'm still in Dallas, waiting for Chris, [livejournal.com profile] oakleycub, to come back from his job interview. Who in the world sets up a job interview at 7 o'clock on a Sunday? We went through a hurried lunch this afternoon so Chris could get cleaned up and to the interview (at Restoration Hardware) at 3. I thought it was strange enough that it was at three, but when he arrived, they looked at him funny and told him it was later. Chris found me looking around Crate and Barrel, where I went to wait it out, and I thought the worst, seeing him back so quickly.

Had we known earlier about the change, we could have done something more for lunch, and possibly seen some other people here in town. Tonight, dinner will have to be quick so I can run back to Houston tonight.

I don't know what it is, but I have felt so drained this weekend. Every day I've been really sleepy. I'm not sure what it is. I do have a cold, so that's part of it, but man. Today, as i we were shopping (for nothing, apparently) I could feel myself fading out - standing up. Uhg.

It happened yesterday, too. I went with Chris as he worked a temp job changing out computers and updating the server of a small company to Windows 2000. I worked helping to disconnect the old ones and install the new, much smaller PC's on the desks. Heh, my first IT job!

We got the computers changed out quickly. Chris has done this job for a few other offices in the area, but by himself. Since the main physical portion of the job was done,. we spent a long time waiting for the server to load. All in all, the migration took 8 hours, and I was in the break room of this small office, reading comics and falling asleep. I eventually had to go out to my car and take a nap because I didn't have a good place to do it in the office, and I didn't think it would look good to the office manager that the people fixing their computers were sleeping (even though it was only Chris that was hired for this).

On a side note, I was surprised a bit when Chris wanted to touch me or kiss me when we were alone on the job site, not so much the thought that it wouldn't be fun, or nice to feel his touch. I guess I just felt it was work time, not play time. I did enjoy it, but there was this feeling of taboo, that I shouldn't be doing this that unnerved me a little.

I guess it's interesting that I've gotten comfortable enough with my sexuality that I can discuss some sexual exploits in front of my sister, but get worried about a peck on the cheek in a workplace. Strangely, I don't always have this problem, I've full out kissed Chris in many places, I think the presence of the office manager might have been a part of it.

Sometimes my imaginations gets away from me, and as we were working to replace the computers, obviously it was me not knowing what I was doing, I kind of thought of myself as the Stephanie Powers character in a strange version of computer technicians in Hart to Hart. It made no sense, but it made me laugh. All we needed was a murder, and the show would be on. Yes, Chris, that makes you Robert Wagner, just for the series, though. (It is true that a gay couple version of Hart to Hart is being pitched in Hollywood by Steve Martin right now.)

Well, dinner and a movie last night with Matty, [livejournal.com profile] mattycub, and an attempt to not fall asleep on his couch followed, closing out last evening.

Hmm, this interview is taking a while...I hope Chris gets the job, even if it is a temporary one. I hate having to get out of here so quickly...perhaps one day it won't be like this.
