He is friendly and complimentary.  He says that I &#8220;have balls&#8221; for inviting the office to a pride parade event (actually, I&#8217;m easily pressured by a younger senior analyst, but leaving that aside).  I share with him the frustration of surgical unhappiness + travel.  He is understanding, sympathetic, and amused.  I&#8217;m pretty sure he thinks I rock.  I&#8217;m also pretty sure he wants me to come back to chicago field office.  He did show me a shirtless pic of him and his boyfriend.  I hope I look half so good when I get to be that age.  Hell, I wish I looked half so good now.  I still wanna check out the chicago field office.\n<li>realize what a pain in the ass meeting minutes can be to write up.  Particularly when it&#8217;s more &#8216;summary of meeting events reworded to be more easily understood&#8217; than a blow by blow of the meeting&#8217;s content.<\/ul>\n<p>evening before pharmboi:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>check out chicago fitness center, minimalist, a bit out of the way, but affordable.  ($300 for a year, if I go that route on my eventual return, $60\/month for straight up)\n<li>check out gym with &#8220;tan&#8221; in its name, next to whole foods.  Offers little more, way more crowded, marginally more accessible, $50 more \/ month. Fat fuckin chance.\n<li>whole foods shop-o-rama\n<li>home, shower, etc.\n<li>look in mirror and realize I have lovehandles.\n<ul>\n<li>bump up urgency of gym membership and rollerblade purchases<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With pharmboi: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mama Desta&#8217;s (must find better ethiopian in this town)\n<li>&#8216;milk&#8217;shakes at chicago diner\n<li>smokefree drinking at sidetracks, where he introduced me to midori sours, (from my limited drink vocabulary, I selected long island iced tea to follow) and then the world of podcasts.  <\/ul>\n<p>Now home.
