Rain Rain Go Away...
It's raining... I'm dizzy and slightly burnt out. Add all these variables up and that equals me staying home from work.
I'm working for Daimler Chrysler now in Toledo. It has it's ups and downs.. ups outside of work, downs while at work. My ideal job does not require me to fight with grown adults daily to get simple changes implemented. Therefore, I can confidently say that this is not my ideal job working at Jeep. However, it is very nice to be in one area and know with a level of certainty that I'm not going to be traveling like a mad-woman for quite some time.
Being local means that I can now start to do local things. ... like that's not a general statement. I've finally gotten the opportunity to plant some roots. I put a purchase offer in on a house and I'm in the process of jumping through the hoops to buy it. It's a super-cute colonial with a basement and small yard in a real nice older neighborhood. I love it. I have the home inspection scheduled tomorrow, then the appraisal next week, along with mortgage stuff. I'm not closing on the house until May 31st though... which is ironically the day I'm moving out of my apartment.
I also started dating again. I forgot how akward first dates can be yet how fun getting to know people is. I've been away from the dating scene for a while now.. it's kinda invigorating to jump back in. I've gone on a few dates and it's been really nice. I feel like I know myself a little better now. I've had some time to reflect about what I want and what I need.
Things with Chris were good until this weekend. We were being very civil and mature about the break-up until I got a call from him saying that he didn't want me to keep in touch with our mutual friends. I hope he can move past this ahead and with a better outlook. I understand that he's still getting over things.. but I don't want to put our friends in the middle of our break. It's hard to understand him because he's been so irrational and unpredictable. He brought me back my motorcycle and helmet and we spoke on the phone a bit and things seemed fine. I knew that he didn't want to be buddy-buddy but to get the call about the friends issue he's having really made me mad. I think the thing that made me the most upset was that he did this on the 2-year anniversary of my mom's death. Insensitive.
The Jeep job is starting to kick my ass. We're supposed to work 58 hour weeks. Not my idea of fun. I argue daily with union, operators, team leaders, supervisors, etc.. it's tiring.. and I don't like doing it. I don't take things personal, but it def. makes work less enjoyable.
I'm into a healthier party scene now... not so many of the rockstar weekends lately. I was DD a few weekends back and I've settled down a little in my drunken ways. I guess that I'm more comfortable with myself.
