Something new?

Lets see how my week has gone...

I've spent 3 days of getting my ass handed to me at work over a minor mistake. How many times can you be bitched at over the same thing? Apparently 8.

I may have a psuedo date next weekend. Kinda been flirting with a girl in my bowling league, finally got the courage to ask her to dinner or drinks (was a little drunk), and she is busy this weekend with family stuff, but may be free next weekend, so we'll see how it goes. I'm not getting my hopes up, just lets me get let down.

My dog has energy. I'm not sure what to do with it. he just wants to wrestle all the time. Its not very like him.

I'm going to give the roomates girl a bit of a chance out of respect for my friend. I refuse to forget the issues I have (some are major and could come back to haunt both he and I), but I'll be a little less rigid and on edge when she is around. I'm just that nice of a guy.

My weekend will be housework, but thats still better than homework. Enjoy the time off.

Now what's new

I have 2 roomates now. A guy from work that needs a place without a lease offered to take over my third room. Easy money. Now lets just hope we can all get along and I don't have to kick everyone out.

I hate it when people disappear on me. Seems to happen a lot. Maybe its me and I just don't take a hint too well.

Bets on if my next date will be before or after Memorial day? I'm told I don't put myself out there at all, and tend to agree, but I also seem to find that anyone I have some interest in has something else going on, be it a boyfriend, husband, family, friends only, etc.

I like to do yard work. It makes me feel somewhat alive again. I also like to build things.

In the past week I've dropped 10 pounds, picked it up, gone 3 up, and now I'm settled back to 2 under my start point. I've got to start taking better care of myself. Thats unhealthy.

I'm looking forward to going to the gym regularly for the next few weeks. I need the relaxation of a light workout.

I got fired and re-hired last week. Had to do with the sale of my company.

I need someone to come decorate my house. I still don't feel quite at home.

I had something else, but its nearly 12:30 AM here, and I'm due to have an alarm clock blaring at me in about 5 and a half hours, so I guess I should go lay down and listen to the dog snore.

Weekly updates

I'm working a lot again right now, so for those of you that still stop by, updates will probably be weekly for the next month or so, then i'll try to have a life for a while and get something more interesting to write about.

In the past week, i've had some really interesting run in's with women.

The roomates girlfriend. I've found out i'm not the only one that dislikes her. All his other good friends dislike her. He even sees the signs that this is a doomed relationship. he's in love with being in love, and thats all that matters, so i've decided to let it work itself out, and it will fail, and I won't look like the bad guy.

My friends signed me up for an online dating thing. I haven't really paid that much attention, returned a few e-mails, that kind of thing until this week. Someone with a cute picture, and seemingly normal information started talking to me, so I talked back. a few e-mails, than a IM service. Within a day of the IM's (second conversation, first of more than 3 lines), she asked for money to "get home". Fucking scams. Now how stupid or desperate would i have to be to send money to someone I've just started speaking too, that has never seen a picture, or actually spoken other than e-mail/IM. Just kinda annoyed.

My most recent (actually last night) is a little more humorous. I don't go out much, but we have visitors from Louisiana, and it was St. Patrick's day, so we went to the local bar. It was a little packed, and the service was slow, but I had a good time and will be going out a little more often, just to keep from becoming a hermit again. Now the fun stuff. My old boss stopped in to see his daughter and son, since he moved recently and they still live in the area. After talking for a few minutes, he goes about his business, but returns before he leaves to tell me his daughter thinks I'm cute. I am not really thinking she's my type, but at least i'm getting some attention, so it was ok. I was informed later by a former co-worker of her's, that she's a little (lots) nuts, so i'm glad I stayed away. Now a little later, i'm standing by our table talking to my group, when an older lady (older than me anyway) who looked a little worn in, bumps into me, appologizes, and proceeds to drag me away with her in hopes that I would leave with her that quickly. I thanked her and excused myself back to my group, but how often does falling into sex that easily happen?

Anyway, I seem to meet mostly way younger (17-20) or way older (36-44) than me women these days, or ones that are taken. The only one that was in the right bracket, had a bit of a distance thing that made it difficult. My psychologist friend decided to do a quick anylizing of me and deems me ready for a relationship, but that I won't find anything until summer of fall. So I guess I've got that to look forward to.

I'm out, i've got a pizza and paperwork calling my name.

I've been a little busy once again

I'm back. Been busy. Work is picking up again. I've noticed that a number of my regular reads are not around anymore, or at least not that often. Be it family, work, or whatever, I hope all is well for you.

I really dislike my roomate's girlfriend. Aside from a few snide comments made when she thought I could not hear, she has not specifically done anything to me. What I dislike is the fact that she is a slut and the only thing she cares about is sex. They dated for a while a few months ago. She broke up with him so she could fuck other people. Word for word her reasons. Now they have been back together for a few weeks and are "so in love". The reason they got back together is because he was still fucking her while she was dating other people. I don't buy the in love shit for a minute. I hope for the best for my friend, and don't get me wrong, I'm glad someone in this house is getting some action, but I have to deal with him being upset when she gets bored again and starts fucking someone else. Plus he acts a little different then he did, and a lot of it has to do with the money he is spending on her and to go see her. In general, I try to like people, but this just isn't working. I'm sure there will be a discussion soon, since I accidentally slammed my door after he joked about fucking her in my living room, and I told him I'd kick him out if he did.

I've still been going to the gym a few times a week, but not as often as I'd like on account of work. I'm still kinda stuck where I am, but soon I hope to get back to seeing results. Still not dating, but again, work is killing that. Well, I'm also not getting any feedback from the girl I was talking to, but everyone gets busy. My dog is enjoying the weather. I'm letting him run free in the morning and evening and taking him for a walk around the neighborhood when I can. I'm actually sleeping slightly better now that I can leave a window open without freezing to death. This is just about perfect weather.

Here's to the start of another long week.

I'm mildly pathetic

Its Friday night, I've put in 65 hours or so this week, will be working tomorrow and likely Sunday, have not had a day off in 2 weeks (including weekends), and people wonder why I'm not up for going out drinking and stuff. Am I odd?
