That quote can conjure up a lot of different feelings and perceptions depending on who is saying it and who is hearing it. For instance, that statement is true of me right now. But I'm not bitter from it and I don't resent the truth behind it. Yet, neither do I swell up with joy the fact that it's happening to me or the effects it implies for the rest of my day.
I say all of that to give you a snapshot of how my schedule has been adapting. Actually, it's not just my schedule, it is also Emily's that I want to talk about.
Emily and I went out for a really nice hike on Friday and had a good time overall this weekend. But right now the rest of the weeks to come looks like me working in the morning, afternoon, and early evening with Emily working in the afternoon to late evening. If we stick to our schedules as mandated by our tasks then we would never see each other until Friday and Saturday (Which thank God we both have those 2 days off).
In other words, our schedules conflict. So much so that in many regards it almost feels like we are doing the long distance deal all over again. We even commented on it this weekend that very observation.
But when it comes right down to it we can go out of our way and meet each other for lunch or I can creepily meet her in the morning before my day starts or equally creep her out by waiting for her at her place until she gets home from her closing shift. Even though our current schedule mash up isn't permanent, it's easy for it to be a bigger deal than it really is if we're so narrowly focused on seeing that other individual. Which we are.
Our four month anniversary is tomorrow and I know we'll still make it special, regardless of Scheduling Rivalry.
