The good, the bad, and the pancakes
Things have certainly been interesting lately.
I had dinner last weekend with my half brother. I thought it was going to be very strange and uncomfortable, as I hadn't seen him since I was about 8 years old, but we got along really well. It felt like catching up with someone who'd just come back from holiday or something. He's considering moving down to Wellington and opening a pancake parlour. Naturally I encouraged the idea. Pancakes fucking rule.
Work has been either insanely boring or infuriating. There really hasn't been any middle ground at the moment, but I applied for a new position the other day which would have me working under a different manager (one that's actually competent) and give me Sundays and Mondays off, rather than Tuesday and Wednesday. Hopefully I should be hearing back about that next week sometime. If I get it, then I'll be cross skilling into doing some 111 stuff, as well as maintaining my managerial role on the Saturday. If I don't end up getting it I'm going to start hunting around for something new.
After work shenanigans continue as per normal. Well, mostly normal.
What started as something casual with the girl from Auckland is now starting to turn into something more serious. It's come as rather a surprise to the both of us, and last night while we were out for coffee we were faced with an awkward question to answer.
"So are you two going out?"
Neither of us knew how to answer that, but we escaped any further prying by saying we were "dating".
All in all it's been very unexpected. I don't really think either of us know where we want this to go, but in the meantime we're just seeing where it takes us.
I still find it quite strange and amusing that all this started from her walking into my lounge one night and asking for a lighter.
As it stands, things seem to be going quite well at the moment. It's a nice change, and I sure as hell hope it lasts
