Good day in the end
I thought today was going to be kinda blah and crappy. I'm still not feeling great, but I'm not sick enough to have to go home and not well enough to be real cheerful and energetic. So I'm just at my desk going, "Blahhhhhhhh." But quickly things got a little better when Alejandro came by with a computer for someone and said, "You know what I have a craving for? Breakfast food. Let's go back to that same place." I'm not sure if that counts as him asking me to lunch, since I had sent him an email telling him to let me know when he wanted to go to lunch this week, assuming he wanted to. So maybe I technically asked him, but he followed through? Whatever.
At 12:15ish we went back to Mel's Diner and ordered breakfast stuff. It was kinda funny because I got an omlette and asked for chicken noodle soup instead of potatos. Hehe. It just sounded kinda funny to me. But damn the soup was good! And it was another good lunch, as usual. I didn't ask the straightforward question, like I had planned to. But I was sick and clammy and stuffed up and coughing and not feeling confident enough to ask him. But after asking if he was seeing these guys from work's band play Friday (he isn't) and asking what he's doing Saturday (clubbing with the guys) I finally just said, "So when are you gonna come see a movie with me?" And he said something like, "I don't know. When I stop working?" So I'm not entirely sure what that means.
But despite still not making any headway on the whole situation, it was still a fun lunch. I really enjoy spending time with him. I feel comfortable talking to him and I feel like we have a lot in common and want some of the same things. And he's so smart and sweet and shy and adorable. Hehe. I'll keep working on it. I'm not giving up just yet. Random sidenote. We were eating, and he goes, "Hey check out that woman." I turn and look and am not sure who I'm looking at or for. I tell him this and he says, "I think it's Pink." I wait until my view is clear, and look, and it is Pink. She had blonde hair and some big furry coat and was reading a book. But yeah it was her. And when we went back to my car, we had to walk right by her. It was pretty cool.
Going back to work was kinda ehhhh. I did a little work and wasted a lot of time, but I just don't want to be there anymore. I really think the best idea I had is to start looking for a receptionist job in a post-production house. Because then I can start with an easy job, and then learn post while I'm there and hopefully get promoted within. Only problem is that a lot of receptionists start at $8-$10 an hour, which would be a pay cut for me if I work 8-9 hours a day. So I'm still not sure what to do.
I almost went home after work, instead of going to the gym. I didn't go yesterday because I wasn't up for it, but I was in the car and thought, "Y'know I bet it'd be ok if I just went easy." So I went to the gym. Jill, one of the super-friendly-funny-awesome girls who works there, said I should only do one circuit instead of two. I protested a bit, but eventually gave in. And she was right. I was tired at the end of the circuit. Not tired like when I had a really good workout, but just tired in general. But it was good because it was more than I would have done if I didn't go at all. And I had a fun conversation with Jill afterwards. We talk a lot now, and she's supercool. I'd totally hang out with her outside of Curves.
I'm torn between wanting to watch "My Cousin Vinny" and lie in bed, call DJ and see if he's awake, or go to bed reeeal early. Hmm.
