jdmkleinWe have had a house guest since Friday. He's a nice enough man, and the longer i know him the better i like him. He is a Brit, but i don't hold that against him. He is retired from the RAF and will be the manager of the UmQasr warehouse, if or when it ever gets up and running. He and Master are supposed to go to UmQasr again tomorrow to accept the warehouse,................ maybe. As of 7:00 pm Monday night we still don't know. i have to keep reminding myself this is a new company and startup is always a difficult thing.
Back to G. i have begun to wonder if he has any idea about my life with Master. i wonder if he finds it odd that before i go to the bathroom, i come into whatever room Master is in, and whispter something into His ear. Or, if he has noticed that i ask to be excused from the dinner table. Or, that the household duties are my responsiblity even though both Master and i are working full time. The little oddities that belong to Master and i as we live our lives together are such a part of who and what i am, they have become second nature to me. i am not embarrassed at all, nor am i uncomfortable doing these things in front of Geof, i just wonder if he notices.
i haven't spoken to Master about this. i don't want to bring it up for fear it will put some ideas in His head. While i find Geof attractive i have no desire for anything other than pleasant dinner conversation with him. i know Master would like me to have more experience with others while He watches, but this is not the time nor the place, and apparently, from my perspective, nor the man.
They were supposed to get their company vehicles today, but the Kuwaiti partner put it on hold. When i asked if either of them knew why, they both in the same breath said "Because he could." Apparently something got up the Kuwaiti's butt and the new trucks aren't theirs yet. Doesn't matter to Master, but He is not going to do company business in His own vehicle.
So, here is an interesting question one of my students presented to me. If an assignment is not handed in, how can it be considered late? There is a warped kind of logic going on there, i know this, i just can't get my mind around it. Of course he is arguing about a mark he received on a piece of work he handed in late. This is one of those semesters that is about 2 weeks too long. i have to admit i have worked them really mercilessly hard this summer. Most of them don't have any other course to contend with, so they can devote a lot of time to their research. But i have cut no quarter simple because this is a summer course, and much shorter than the regular semester. i am proud of them, but i won't tell them yet. i don't want them to slow down for another 6 days.
Sarah still hasn't heard from her camp yet. There are still three weeks before she is supposed to go, but i am getting anxious. i don't want anything to mess this up for her. She is making progress with her counselor, and the group meetings she is going to. i don't want this to get screwed up.
Master and i took a shower together last night. Unfortunately He was so tired, nothing came of it. Drat.
