Today, started out as any day. I went to work early, got 40 plus messages in my inbox, checked all of them.
But this isn't any other day. I was surprised that a former classmate of mine back in high school sent me an email and invited me to become one of his friends in friendster. I was surprised because he did that. His name is Rain. Rain was a guy I both hated and liked. I hated him back in high school because we competed for the top rank at the class, and I liked him at the same time because even though how much I tried hating him, he is still a great guy, a kind hearted one at that. I was surprised that we hit it off immediately and we promised each other to exchange messages and that he was filled with regrets because of something. He'll text me later this 9 pm. He has classes today. [He's in law school now]. And I've got a feeling that its something about the two of us, not that there was something between us, I think.
Then minutes later, Eric, my teammate, one of my closest friends here in the office, told me that he was resigning. What. Are you sure you are not kidding. Yes, and he even told me the company that he was moving to. I never expected that. I thought we were going to finish the project together. Oh well. And I was the first person that he told. He'll tell our boss later. For that I'm a bit depressed today. Why, because he's my friend and his leaving earlier than expected. I'm sad that we won't get into those bickering and joking online. I'm sad that we never got to finish the project together. He told me that it is probably his last day today. I'm sad, and I want to cry not only because I'm going to miss a friend, but I'm also one man short of the project.
Now, I'm sad because I feel the burden of being the temporary lead. I want to cry but I can't. I can't work today because of what I'm feeling. I just want to relax and sort out these feelings. I just want to slack today. I need this day. Just give me this day. Tomorrow, I'll be okay. I'm still going to work, just like any other ordinary day, but today, just give me this day. Please.

I'm okay now. I think I can deal with it. I'm just gonna relax and sooth my muscles. I wish cologne guy was here, but he is absent too. hmm...
------------------------------------------edit---1:44pm... --------------------------
I think I want to kill somebody here! LOL. Eric told me at lunch time that he was just kidding. The bastard, and here I was near tears. Grrrr... Oh well. At least he's not leaving sooner.
Feeling a little duped,
dazed
