So the end of the semester is nearing. I have no money to go to school over the summer, but I did get a new job which is going to pay me a substantial amount more than the home depot (8.50 to 11.30/hour). Doesn't sound like much of a pay raise, but after I made a few calculations, I'll be going from a little more than 17,000/year to more than 23,000 plus as much overtime as I want to work (for an extra $17+/hour, I'll get as much OT as I can get).
Another reason as to why I'm leaving the Depot, they never did anything about my ex that threatened me AT WORK (supposedly theres a zero tolerance threat policy at the Home Depot...pshh, yea right). As a matter of fact, when I discussed the situation to my HR, my HR said I'm lucky that I wasn't getting fired...(for someone threatening me?!? WTF?!?
::Sigh::
I started dating again. I dated this guy who took me to a Nine Inch Nails concert, but I found out later on he was a total pothead jerk. He said some pretty mean things to me (calling me a stupid kid, etc.) I dumped him a few weeks back, he would still call and wanna hang out, which I would agree to as friends, but then he'd try to shove his tongue down my throat...eeewwww. So I made it final, and called him an ass.
Somewhere near the end of that disastrous dating relationship, I started dating this other guy who used to be a co-worker, and I just kinda ran into him and gave him my number. Thought he was crazy at first (conspiracy theorist), and the only reason I went on a second date with him is because I just wanted to mee around with him, get him all riled up over politics... because I'm evil like that. But we had a great time, he got a little less shy (I think he denies his being shy in the first place) and he started to become comfortable around me (which is great cuz I've heard I can be terribly intimidating to guys). On the third date I was very upfront with him, "Do you want to have a relationship, or just sex?" After a few moments of silence, he asked..."Have I ever made a pass at you?" I said,"No". And he hen replied, "If I wanted sex I would've tried by now." He's got a point. I've told him a lot of my quirks (likes/dislikes and why), wants (peircings and random other things that shall not be mentioned, and hobbies (modeling) and he has issues with none of it. Rather cool kid. 24, but he looks like he's 17. Very introverted, but I have a feeling he'll do things he doesn't like just for me.
Other than that, nothing else. Trying to get plane tix to go to WA. I'm gonna make a little window near the end of May, to come up before I start my new job. Cuz with my new job, I have a feeling it will be awhile before i can visit.
XOXO to all my friends. :-*
