Wow! I haven't posted on this thing in awhile. I was sitting here this morning while browsing through other people's posts and realized that. To those who are unaware, I've been working an ungodly amount lately, and becoming more and more of a "manager" everyday. You know, that type that's cool to hang out with outside of work, but keeps you on task while at work without being 100% anal about everything. Outside of work, alot has been going on. There has been quite a rift developing between me and my other two roommates, one of which (Meagan) moved out due to pressure by her fiance, and stress caused by the other relationship (or now a lack of) between her and evan.
Me being the middle man and all, decides to get really close with Meg (my girlfriend, not the roommate), and cause my friend of almost 11 years to think that I have forgotten about him, which isn't the case. I did accept the fact that everytime I brought her or one of her friends over to the apartment, he has failed to utter a "Hello" or show any type of hospitality towards her, but regardless, he's still my best friend whether he realizes it or not. I think this space between us has given him a new focus on going for what he really wants to do, not what I want to do, as I have been searching for jobs in the areas that have appealed to me from the onset of my graduation: Pittsburgh, Houston, Philly, Boston, and Jacksonville. Honestly, the whole situation is quite childish with this finger-pointing and name calling (mainly one-sided, not from this end), and could be handled very simply, and in an adult fashion. Hell, when the time is right, i'm sure everything will work themselves out.
On with the next thing...writing about that saddens me.
Me and meg have grown closer, which at some times is scary, and makes me wonder "How did I luck out like this", because she is truly a great person, and in close similarity to my personality, as is the rest of her family.
Very witty, and weird at the same time.
There was talk about moving in together around the time that we knew the lease was up here, and her desire to move out of her mom's house, but we decided that it's too early to jump into something like that, although it wouldn't be a bad idear. To solidify things, we have been looking into an adoption of a dog, preferably a basenji, a mid-sized dog, whom we have shown a recent interest in, and have found adoption websites dedicated to the rescue of basenjis(basenji rescue and transportation, google-it, bitches.) . She is planning on moving in with a friend this summer, as will I, when the lease reaches completion at the end of April. After all of that goes down, money needs to be saved, as I realized that cost of living in a bigger city than the one you're currently residing in is a lot more than meets the eye, and I have a sufficient drought in funds. I don't feel like living in relative obscurity to achieve what I want to, but if worse comes to worse (lately, it has), I don't mind it as long as I see my friends every now and again.
On a positive note aside from the relative obscurity and sadness, I have been recieving several personal phone calls from corporate offices such as AmTrak, Aflac, and a Software/Quality Assurance spot in Houston, about open positions that they are looking to fill, and positions that I fit the description for. So, Yay, three cheers for Career Track progress!!! On top of that, I just got a call from a friend's friend who referred me to do some computer work for her ($70). Booyah!!!!!!!!!!
Ah, on my day off from work, here I am, doing exactly what I don't want to do on my day off....WORK. But it's money, and I need it.
i'm out.
P.s. Sorry sarah for missing your soiree the other week, as I was working and open to close shift (8am-12am) for my boss who was out of town. Are we still on to run on thursday;)?
