It's always a hell of a thing finding out that someone you knew at some point, not well, but enough to like/respect/say hi to/share an occasional laugh with, has died. I suppose as one gets older and it starts happening more often... no. I can't imagine ever getting used to this odd gutpunched feeling. I guess tonight the feeling is compounded by the fact that the person in immediate question was someone I knew in slightly more than passing as a teenager, and we spent years passing greetings to each other through mutual connections with the intent to get into closer touch at some point. I'm more than a little sad that it's never going to happen now. May he rest in peace.

Other than that little bit of sudden wind out of sails and a little bit of an ohshitohshitohshit start to the morning (things snowballing at job#1 while at job#2), today was a reasonably good one, punctuated by a surprise visit to town by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
htl_1126 and her friend and a resulting trip to Oh My, which is always a terrible idea during lunch owing to me spending the rest of the day mad at my money and twitterpated to boot. At least as far as frustrations go that's a reasonably fun one. Also for super bonus, there was a deliriumdeva in town as well towards the end of the day, with the result that instead of it taking an hour and a half to get home today I got a ride home in under 20. Score.
