if thats not chocolate milk.... what the hell have I been sucking on????
All right. So I have been a little bit busy since the last time I made a post. I've just downloaded the Semagic client for my laptop again. I figured it'd be a little bit nicer than having to goto the web page everytime I wanted to post something and it might make me use this livejournal like I used to again. I realize that as of late I've been making longer posts. But then I look back and realize that it's been this way since around the time that I started dating Blake. Although since him and I have broken up the posts have started to come back to a rate of more then once or twice a month. Maybe it's that I'm not afraid of them being used against me in a fight with someone, and if someone that I meet happens to know that this is here and wants to read it then they can. When I was seeing Chuck, I always offered to let him read the friends only posts but he said that I could still use this as my space without him. Hopefully the next boy will be that way too, or at least give me the space to vent out my thoughts on some media.
Well today I had two interviews. One was at a hotel down by the Seattle Center for the night auditor position there. The hours would be 11pm-7am Monday through Friday. Which would me my days off would be Saturday night and Sunday night going into work Monday at 11pm. Once it's with this overnight thing I'm often confuzzeled since the shift itself consists of two days.... But this all made sense. The general manager seemed very nice and it would be a job I would jump on if I'm offered it. Adjusting to being overnight all the time would take me a short time to get used to again, but then I've been keeping late nights as of late as it is... so maybe it wouldn't be that hard. He also knows that I would be interested in moving up with the chain and the hotel itself and he made it sound like that was something they would be looking for in a person.
The other place I went into today was at Restoration Hardware in Pacific Place. While I feel that the interview itself went well, I have no high hopes on landing this job or taking it if I were to get an offer from the place. It's a nice store and all, but it would be a temp position that would get me nothing in the way of a title bump or pay bump. So it would be just a filler of a job. I was told by the person who interviewed me that I would get a call from him tonight and no call came. Since he's going out of town for a week I don't expect that I was the choice for it, but then as I've said, I'm not crying over it.
I did get a call back from this shop that will be open in Northgate Mall for the holidays. They are a scooter shop in Greenlake that rents out Scooters and what not. They have items that they sell in the shop but being that they are more for rentals there they sell very little in their present location. So the store would be there mainly for the holiday shopping season, but the joy of this position is that I get a nice title bump. Asst. Manager. Which is the next step for me in the line of retail. So I go to the Greenlake location Saturday at noon to meet the rest of the staff they have hired and to learn how to use an old school reg. But the joys of this again are that I get this title bump and it's work. Which means pay. Same as what I was getting at the sharper Image, but they are more then willing to give me a bump within a few weeks upon seeing my ethic pan out. I figure while I wait for the hotel to call back this will be a good fill in the void so I'm not losing anymore money.
As with the rest of my affairs, I'm doing well but losing my mind at the same time. I had a couple beers the other night and did pretty well. Of course I was in a good place with Steven and some of his friends and in a great space on Cap. Hill. But all in all I was a little edgy with the booze in me. I'm thinking that a slow return to drinking might be allowed. Mainly the social drinks. Beer with friends has never let me have an issue. It's when I go and drink a bottle that I have an issue. But even with the idea of drinking beer I want to make sure that it's not something that is going to become something that I don't want to deal with. I like who I am without the needs to be drunk... So maybe I'll see where that goes for the while longer. Although working retail in the holiday time might drive me to drink on my days off... lol.
I made mention of Isaac in the last post. It was then nothing major and nothing huge. I just missed him and called him the other night and left a message. Calling back a short short time later he'd turned his phone off or made it where I went right to his VM. I don't blame anything that he's doing. I wouldn't want to talk to me for a long while had I been treated like I treated him that night. So with that let that be that.
Anthony is another story and I'm still rethinking some of the things with him before I give it a full disclosure post. I think that there might be some hostile issues by bringing him around that I don't want to deal with. And I think that it's not right to put him in those issues. Although I must say it was nice to fall asleep in bed and have someing there to hold me through the night. He's a good kid... just has issues that he needs to address and things that I will need to bring up to him about my past before I can let him date me. Also there are things that I need to deal with regarding my past before I will let myself date him. And I need to just let these things happen or I'm going to be walking a road I can't think about for a while.
But here's the main thing... I've got a job again. I'm the Asst. Manager. I'm number 2. I'm the man.
I"m happy. And... with that. I'm doing to try to get some rest.
Oh Oh Oh.... and i'm wanting to play SimAnt so bad.
