yo-mega

here i am at omega. homecoming in torrential downpour. it has been raining heavily in the 12 hours since i arrived, which makes my boss's offer of fulltime+cabin (instead of tent) so tempting. but that would mean staying here a month longer than i planned which is mostly not doable.

i am glad to be back. i've seen some friendly faces. it was sad to realize that coming back here doesn't mean going back in time to a summer ago, when everything was different and i was full of hope for my new family. it does mean another step in the long process of integration, shuffling and reshuffling the deck of omega with the deck of the rest of life.

my old vp of engineering at a job that changed my life turns out to be here for a month too. awesome.

time to go investigate breakfast.

i will be gone, but not forever.

<ab> go be tribal

some items from today:

- the mosquitos. i am camping, and it's great, but the mosquitos are truly making me miserable. it's been raining a lot here so there's lots of standing water, and hence, many skeeters. i wish for them to die. i realize that is not mindful. how can i live in spirit when i itch?

- sudden realization about keeping company that i'm not comfortable with. my social group has dwindled in SF and i think this causes me to spend time around people who i don't actually feel that comfortable around. why do i do that? lonliness i suppose. this must stop.

omega land is nice. it's been surreal to be back, in many ways, because i keep expecting to see people who were here last season. they aren't here. one of my coworkers (martin - pisces, i guessed it first try!) reminded me to be open to new people. to make room for them. it was good spending some quiet piscean times in sanctuary with him. give me all the neptunians.

all is damp. talent show tonight. dinner right now.
