Untitled, On Purpose....

Well shit.  I told you I'd post three times a week, so I guess that I'll be writing all weekend long.  It's all good, I've been working in the warehouse for a week now, and unlike with all the drama in the office, I've had lots of time to think about things I'd like to talk about.  I'm gonna make time for y'all, I promise. 

Today?  Well, I figure I'll just fill everyone in on what's been going on.  Yes, work has been ridiculous, that's why I haven't been writing as I promised. Year end crap with about 10 less staff members than we had last year at this time has certainly put a burden on everyone here.  It's all good.  I'm thankful I have a job, ya know?  In the evenings I've either been doing jewelry or fixing computers for some spare money on the side.  It figures that I've got the most annoying computer problems to deal with.  They aren't like "hey, format this computer for me."  They're "hey, this shit is so fucked up it won't even turn on, but I need all of the 5 bazillion pictures that are stored on my hard drive."  Umm, yeah....  Ok then...  Is the money worth it?  Well yeah, it is.  Three hours of my time doing that is worth about a days pay at my regular job.  Doing the same crap I do at work when I'm home in the evenings kills me though.  I really should have thought my profession through a little better....  Oh well.


The love life?  Well, it's going somewhere I guess.  The funny thing is, I'm not sure that I want it to go there.  I've been hanging out with someone I vaguely knew in high school (thanks again Facebook...) for the last couple of weeks and we really get along great.  He had me at hello when I saw those eyes.  Kind of a green/blue combo depending on what he's wearing.  Y'all know how that does me in right then and there.....  He was on vacation from work all this week and spent his days getting up at 6:30 to take me to work and then come and pick me up each day & run me wherever I needed to go in the evenings.  He even went to Gavin's choir concert with us on Monday night.  It was weird, mostly because my family was there and I don't introduce really ANYONE to my family, but it ended up being no big deal since it was just "Mom, this is *, * this is my mom." End of story.

I just don't know about the whole thing.  First of all, I kind of feel like we're in this retarded dating phase, which we all know that I don't do well.....  That whole getting to know each other intellectually really doesn't do a whole lot for me.  I'm more of a "what kind of physical attraction do we have?" kind of girl.  And yes, I know, what's the use of having something nice to look at if it's as dumb as a door knob.  We all know that I'm shallow like that though.  Ideally, yeah, I'd like to have both, but damn, it's kind of difficult to find one of those that will put up with me.  I guess we'll just have to see what develops with all this, but you know how I am about keeping my options open.....  It doesn't help that my mind is kind of elsewhere right now emotionally, but that's not something we'll be discussing any time soon....

That's all for now boys & girls....  No song lyric, no catchy title.... I'm just kind of blank on this whole thing right now.....

Remember though, comments get you entered into a drawing for some jewelry!!!

Dating in December is tough. Good luck with that. Remember that attraction to looks waers off but someone who can challenge you intellectually will grow on you as time goes by.

Mikeg- You're right, it does and this one isn't going to do it for me intellectually..... I can already see that, he can't verbally spar with me the way I need... Ugh...

Cleo- he could be, but I'm doubting it.... Something to pass the time I suppose.... I'm happy to be back writing more often though. Now if things would just settle down at work, where I prefer to write...

you win some. you lose some. some you just really have no idea why in the hell you even took a second look. BUT, everything happens for a reason. take it for what it is. take it for face value. get what you need and end it when it's over.

like i know.
