Work, and Ron.
Work has officially kicked off. We finished a month-long course which included (most of) the rules and regulations of the Highway 6 company, simulations in front of the class and one-on-one with team managers from the call-center, a few social games to keep us from falling asleep, a road trip to see the Carmel Tunnels and a test and final simulation on the last day, we finally 'graduated' and started working the phones at the call center on Wednesday.
The course itself was a fun time. I do well in academic situations, and some of the people were really great. There was some hard stuff too, especially the week I had my wisdom tooth taken out, I was in a lot of pain and bummed my third simulation (it was only an 83, but compared to the previous 90 and 89, it felt pretty bad... also I was just hysterical with pain that day :( )
But I'm okay now, and I've had two shifts already, with a more experienced person watching over me and listening in on my calls, giving me advice. The "big brother" I had on the first day was much better than the "big sister" I had on the second day, he let me think for myself while she just instantly gave me the answers and told me what to do, and also sometimes rushed me instead of letting me do things at my own pace. I've gotten good feedback from them both, though - this is my second stint at a call-center, so I'm pretty practiced at giving telephone service. I know the computer program well enough, and I'm polite and serviceable.
The good thing about this particular call-center is, it's a big, serious company. We work with proper earphones with mics and high-tech office phones, instead of normal phones like Bookmarket's call-center where we had to hold the cradle with one hand and type one-handed, or hold the phone between our ear and shoulder and get cramps; everyone gets a proper computer chair instead of mix-and-match, first-come, first-served; and I get the feeling the salary is going to come in every month like clockwork and I'll never have to worry about reporting my bonuses and not getting them. On Thursday's briefing they even said they're giving us an extra 10-minute break, on top of the half-hour they've usually had :)
I think I'm going to like working here :)
And now let's switch it up to personal issues - things with Ron are getting interesting, but also embarrassing XD I'm feeling ready enough for sex, but unfortunately I tried to actually plan for it. So obviously, Murphy laughed in my face and ruined things for us.
On Wednesday I went shopping with my mother (who desperately needed new clothes; I was told by my father that if she didn't leave the mall with at least two new items of clothing, *I* would not be allowed back into the house XD At least I succeeded! :) ) and among her shopping, I bought a panties-and-bra set at H&M. I originally wanted something pretty and lacy, but nothing caught my eye - until, suddenly - emerald-green and black stripes, whoa :D And a little black lace too, they were so cute. Cute and fun-sexy, rather than sultry-sexy. For me it was even better to be funky and fun than to be 'classically' sexy. So I got 'em, and wore 'em on Thursday, when I knew I'd be picking Ron up on my way home from 6B in Tel-Aviv and we's sleep at my place.
I'm getting a little better at my Interior Design workshop at 6B, btw :)
So I picked Ron up, and we got to my place at around 11:30. We hadn't seen each other since Tuesday, and we knew we had all night. We got right to fooling around, but Ron was too tired to do anything more intensive than foreplay. Which kind of pissed me off... I actually handed him a beer place-mat which he'd saved from a night we went out to a pub, that had a "To Do List" on the back of it, originally saying "buy another beer". I added my name on the next line and gave it to him, meaning, 'do me.' And he said he was too tired... wtf, man? XDD
But anyway, we napped for about an hour and then he woke me up by kissing me and sliding his hands up my shirt. Things got heated again, and I reached for my nightstand and pulled out a condom I'd gotten at a street-party in Tel-Aviv somewhere back in May, there are always people from Durex handing out free condoms, it's crazy XD So I handed him the condom and his eyes got really wide, like, why the fuck do you have this? but at the same time, thank god you do, though.
The only problem, we couldn't get the stupid condom on!! He opened it, then handed it to me and wanted me to put it on him, but I had some trouble so he took over, and then discovered it was inside-out! I don't know how that happened; he claims it was my fault XD The idiot yanked it off (and that hurt him, lol) and tried to turn it right-side-in and put it on again, but the condom was lost. I was mortified by this point, and when he said, "Please tell me you have another one..." I turned onto my side and buried my face in my hands, moaning that I didn't.
So we went to sleep. I was too embarrassed to even jerk him off. In the morning we went to the drugstore and he bought a pack of condoms, which we stashed at my place because he claims his mother will find them in his room. Whatever, I know she's a clean freak but dayumn. Anyway, even then he said he was too tired to try again so we just napped a bit more.
Frankly I'm sort of annoyed with him over all of this, because damn, boy, I'm offering to have sex with you, my first time, not to mention, and you say you're tired?? Twice??? Something is wrong with him XD
Maybe he thinks it's too soon or something. He said the condom malfunction could be a sign, but he sure seemed eager enough to go buy new ones. I slept at his place the next day (Friday, last night) and took one of the condoms with me in my bag, but he didn't seem interested in more than foreplay. He's probably too afraid to do it at his place, and frankly I won't mind having my first time in my own room, in my own bed, with my own shower nearby for after. *sigh* I'm on my period now, though, so it's going to have to wait at least a week, and then another few days until it becomes Friday again. *sigh*
At least we're both ready, though. Ron hasn't had a relationship in years, so probably no sex either (he's not the type to have flings) and I'm sort of scared and embarrassed of the whole thing, but I'm trying. Next time is up to him, if he doesn't make a move - fuck it, who am I kidding, he's waited five years, he can wait a little more. It's me who's anxious to have sex, I'll probably be the one to break out the condom this time too XD
