is fecking freezing in new york.
spend weekend in maine with friends testing gear and working on perfect party for two divas articles.
was great fun except the last night was THOROUGHLY ruined by toddler-like passive agressive behavior that actually LASTED through the next morning and made seven whole people extremely uncomfortable. also made gathering in outdoors hottub while it snowed outside (perfect) virtually impossible, as person was angry at three whole people in group for stupid silly reason and stomped off to hot tub by herself and clearly did not want to invite any one else. is utterly inexcusable to make host of house feel uncomfortable. is rude and silly.
was terribly offended and embarassed by offending party and do not think she will be invited back, as this is the second time she has come pretty close to ruining an entire weekend for everyone involved. am horribly embarassed for her and do not think that i will hear peep one about being sorry or any other stuff until it is months too late. in fact must be true since previous experience has shown it to be so! in the meantime an tired of walking on eggshells but gear must be tested and so i must put up with bullsh*t until march 3rd when gear is returned and all reviews about said gear are in.
am absolutely disgusted. am also too old to not be able to see when offending beings make their way on to my radar screen. must develop better people-reading skills. am like bad dog: do not know when to "leave it" and seem to be glutton for punishment. is silly, so am peeved at self too. of course am more peeved at offending personnage than self but still.
jim says house is almost puppy-ready but now am having second thoughts since was gone for five days without jim and missed jim terribly and now will have to share jim with other being.
what was that i said earlier about being toddler-like, petulant, and sulky? hmm. must re-evaulate self. although, obviously will love puppy like craaaaazy and so must not freak out too badly.
overall though was very pleased at weekend and very happy to be in company of mostly good peeps. in conclusion: four good days out of five is not horrible; most friends great; most gear great; all food great; also made two new fantabulistic friends and so must not complain.
sigh.
today: work at Elements Media (design magazine stuff), and interview with woman about universal design for Consumer's Digest magazine. also must get in training and shower and lunch and breakfast.
phew. am tired already.
