Life lines and suicide crimes
Here I am after another weekend!
Saturday after work I drove up to Bradley's. It was really great seeing him. He was wearing this cute black jumper, with the zipper, and I pulled it down to see his sexy chest hair....he was looking hot. He had burgers out back on the grill cooking, and preparing stuff. So we fooled around a little, and then I got a shower, and then we kissed more and finished up our bbq burgers, baked beans, and waffle fries. He bought me some wine, so I drank some before dinner, and then we ate, and watched "Venom." Had some hot loving a couple of times, and then went to bed fairly late. Got up the next morning, and I got in the tanning bed, showered, and watched some television and then went and helped Bradley make some baked potato soup. Snacked a little. Gave him his Easter stuff (candy and a card). We watched "The Holiday" and "Children of Men." Both were pretty good movies. Didn't do a whole lot on Sunday besides lay around most of the day. Monday morning, I got my stuff, and headed back south to Birmingham. I got home, unpacked, called mom, and then headed to her place. She called me last week asking if I would come to help her clean out the garage. I agreed, and well when I got there, she tacked on the utility building to that clean-out list, which she insisted she had told me about before, but she hadn't, and then she was adding to this list all day. I finally lost it and went off on her. I told her that she abuses the offer of helping her....everytime. She apologized later, and I left shortly after that. I was just really really tired, and I guess everything just culminated into me biting off her head. I felt bad about it, yet I felt that it was something that needed to be done. She knows that she can manipulate me. And usually I just play along, b/c I know I need to be there for her. But she's never called to have me over for dinner really. She's never called to ask if I wanted to do something fun. It's always work-related, or something to help her. Ugh! I came home, and pulled up my stuff to prepare for the interview with Splawn & Ward Associates that I was to have this morning. So I did some research and prepared a couple of sheets to review for the interview. Then I watched Oprah, which was a show about addictions, and how people on meth, coke, alcohol, etc overcame their addictions. It was very interesting. I got a nap after that, which I desperately needed, and then chatted a bit, and went to Hunter's, and caught up with him and then we went to CVS to pick up a few things for him and then met Steven Bond and Anthony for dinner at Silvertron. They had been waiting for a while, and I felt bad about that. But it's nothing to Hunter to make others wait, and that is a pet peeve of mine, but what can you do? I apologized when I saw them. They were feasting on huge mozzarella cheese sticks, so I don't think that they cared. We got our wine, and ordered, and caught up with each other which was fun. Hunter told us about his adventurous weekend (when are they not?), and we left, and came home. I got home, showered, and looked over my sheets a few more times, and chatted a bit before going to bed. I finally got to hear Bjork's newest single - "Earth Intruders," and of course it's freaky as usual, but I really liked it b/c it was chaotic and loud, kinda like Pluto. Anything is better than Medulla anyway..lol. Went to bed, and had odd dreams, which I don't remember what they were about now. I think I was waiting tables or something, and people were demanding my help or something. I think this came about b/c I saw some show a couple of days ago about this girl who hasn't been able to keep up a job, b/c she breaks down crying or something. Anyway, I slept decently and woke up in time for me to get shaved and dressed and head to Riverchase to my interview. It was pretty easy to find the building. It's really close to where I used to work at AmSouth Bank, and also Soundcom Muzak. The drive wasn't bad. I got there early, and Wanda Barnett let me and I apologized for being so early, and she said it was better to get there early than late. She had to get situated and then she brought me back to her office. We had the interview. She asked me to tell her about myself, and yeah that question is somewhat general and expected, I've never been good at answering it. It's so vague! So I asked her in what areas? So I told her about my personal hobbies, my goals, etc. I'm not sure if that was what she was looking for. She without giving me a chance to tell her what I knew about their company, started going into it, and what would be expected of me, and etc. Then I had to go to the conference room and sit down with her programmer and project manager, and talk with them. We went over pretty much everything, and they asked a couple of questions, and I asked a couple, and that was it. The interview lasted for about one hour, and then I was on my way out the door. They have really good benefits. The company pays for health insurance, which is awesome, since I have to pay for mine here with MedAssist, although it's affordable. It would be excellent to not have that income coming out of my check anymore for insurance. They don't have a 401K plan, but they have an IRA account, which she explained as pretty much being the same thing, just the max you can allocate not to go over 10 thousand a year. And she said, hardly anyone would do that anyway. She said they matched. So yeah those are definite perks. I think she was concerned that I didn't have much working experience using Access, but I tested advanced on the Access test, and I have used it some, just not much in a working environment. I stressed to them that I felt confident in using that program. After the interview I went to Chik-Fil-A and got some chicken mini's and went by Best Buy to get the new NIN Year Zero album, but stupid me didn't realize it doesn't come out until NEXT Tuesday. So I came back home, and ate, and got ready for work, and I saw that Amy, my cousin, messaged me on Myspace and sent me a message saying we should hang out sometime soon. I felt so awkard. I accepted the friend invitation, reluctantly, b/c I haven't verbally came out to her yet, and she comes from a very religious family. But she also said not to let her other family members know that she was on myspace..lol...so I guess she might be okay with it. Guess we'll see if she writes me anymore after looking at my profile..lol. Work today has been good. I will miss working here if I decide to leave, b/c I have such an easy stress-free job. But I think it's time to grow and learn new stuff, and actually work using the skills I have obtained through the years. I want to be more marketable in the job world, and I need the experience to do that. With that being said, I don't plan on actively searching for another job until after I get back from the beach trip at the end of next month. I gave Stephanie @ Snelling the heads-up about me needing to be off May 24-28th. She said that it shouldn't be a problem. Kelly texted me this afternoon saying she's getting glasses next Thursday. I asked her if she would actually be wearing them, and she said she would probably half the time. Yeah right! I know her better than myself. She'll wear them maybe 3 days and then put them away and forget about them! Well I need to play catch-up on reading livejournal. Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday!
