Since the weekend of fun it's been as per the norm. I found out some horrible news concerning my mom. No worries she is strong. Also found some tough news concerning work. I am to stay at Edwards till December. Apparently I am a tough sell because I don't have a degree. They have assured me I have one of three jobs as a head crew chief for field survey. Problem is they they are still shortlisted on the projects and nothing is concrete. There is still talk of sending me to corporate for the sole purpose of letting people get to learn my name and work ethic. However I think that could be a bad move considering the size of the work force at Denver. They have given me permission to telecommute for the entire month of November which is freaking huge. I can go anywhere as long as I VPN in and put 8 hours in... Speaking of work, I am currently sitting on centerline of a 3mile long runway on a Sunday watching them paint striping while lj'ing on my iPhone. Hahaha. I can't imagine someone telling me three years ago that I'd be here doing this. (neat sidenote: when they paint runways they add thousands of tiny glass beads into the mixture and smash it into the runway. That gives it it's luminescence. )
I will never get used to ex gfs cAlling me about new bfs. It's so odd. I doubt Spain ever got a letter from the Aztecs about how they and the mexicans were getting along. Btw that analogy was so amazing. You have no idea. So I went on my normal rebound habit which is to completely immerse myself with someone and leaave. I met a shy girl in her 30s. she was cute and very alternative. I seized upon the lack of self worth and high walls immediately. I teased her and won way too easily. She did her best to woo me, but we didn't have sex. Next night I casually dropped hints that it wouldn't work because I was unsure of my time left in the area and how serious she was... I get a call that night about how I'm an ass. I quickly flip it and suddenly she is appologizing for rushing me and relying on 2nd hand info and not just talking to me. Sigh. I'm quite aware that I was an emotionless, manipulative prick. I let her down gently after that. Side note: I am struggling to define the type of person that is this mask I wear. Before it was the cocky guy that everyone warned you about...now it's much more subtle.
My tattoo freaked me out last week. It got real puffy in a tiny spot and I was convinced it was trying to scar. I have been religious about lotion a d washing it. I never let my jeans rub it either. It is turning into a scab though and the tattoo as a whole still looks great.
Max payne the movie will be coming out soon. I'm nervous they will ruin it. By far one of the most well written plots for a game ever. We shall see.... In the meantime, fallout 3 is coming out in october. Look for it to be the top of the list for both best and worst new game. Long story as to why.
More to follow later
