A draft 'fuck off' letter
Maybe it was because of the 'me time' I got last night, but I felt pretty good at work today. I didn't have the expectation of receiving a reply from Claire, and that was like a huge burden lifted off my shoulders.
I actually enjoyed court a lot today, despite it being one of our most significant days because it related to our computer side of the case. Seriously, that witness was fucked up for the police. We have a record of what our client did most recently with his computer, and looking at the log times, one can see that he just quickly flicked through the videos he had on the CD. Of course, because logs only show when a file is accessed and not when a file is closed, the other - less rational - alternative is that he opened one file, left it open, opened another file, left them open, and opened another one.
So the following basically occurred:
GS: You can't open two movies, or two audio files at the same time, can you?
Witness: Well it's possible.
GS: Well you wouldn't watch two movies or listen to two audio tracks at the same time, would you?
Witness: It's possible.
Wtf??
Judge: Anything is possible.
WTF???
So now, the burden of proof for the Crown has changed from 'beyond reasonable doubt' to 'anything is possible'. I love fair trials.
Everyone was actually laughing at that stage, and it was good, because any sensible person would know you wouldn't fucking watch two movies at the same time.
Anyway, after work I went home, picked up my mom and drove her to do the weekly tape rentals. While she did that, I went to the same shop I went to last time and bought myself a red tie. I've always wanted to go for that white shirt/red tie 'Hitman' look.
During that time I was also thinking up of ways to draft a 'fuck off' letter to Claire, since she still hasn't replied. I was thinking along the lines of:
Yeah?
Should I put 'thanks anyway' instead of 'seeya'?
Of course, by doing that, I am hoping that she'd just come along, but at the same time I am prepared to go by myself (I called the dude up today and asked about the classes).
Other, softer, alternatives are:
1. I send a message asking her to give me a reply by a certain date because I might have other activities on; or
2. I call her up and ask her.
A small part of me suspects that maybe she's a little traditional and just wants a telephone invite. The larger part of me thinks she's just like any other girl, wanting a 'challenge', which would prompt me to send the above draft.
I was tempted to send the draft today, but even in my insecurity intoxicated state, I know that you have to give someone more than two days to respond. I sent the message on Tuesday, so should I set the deadline to be tomorrow night? Saturday night? Sunday night? What is a reasonable amount of time to give to someone to reply on fb?

Hey look, you don't seem too interested, so I'm just going to go by myself on Monday. Seeya.
