Low energy.

KfW2 called at lunchtime.

"We've not spoken in ages!"

She's right. It's been a few weeks, but to be honest, I've been tired, stressed and de-motivated in general. Reaching out to people is not at the forefront of my mind. Mostly that's due to the above, but the recent frustrations in trying to arrange something with KfW2 and the ex-teammates have also drained me.

We made some small talk, and then the subject of the socialising this coming Sunday was raised. I shared my frustrations with KfW2.

"I know I can't make it, but I really appreciate that you've put the effort in."

I was delighted to hear that. She has the ability to say the right things, even if I don't see her as often as I'd like these days and she can be a PITA at times.

"Yeah, well, someone else can arrange the next one. Stalky Guy was being awful too."

I explained what Stalky Guy had been up to (I've not blogged about it before, but he was being very immature).

"Yeah, that's SG for you."

"Well, maybe we can do something by ourselves?" I offered. 

It was a token suggestion. KfW2's availability at this time of year is pretty much non-existent, plus she's been difficult to get a hold of for quite a while now. After all, it has been at least 5 years since we last had a night out, just the two of us. KfW2, as usual, was excited.

"Yes, we should!"

At this point in the conversation, we were starting to move on to work-related stuff, but she was interrupted by her husband calling.

"I'll call you later" I promised. And we hung up. I don't know if I have the energy though.
