HOLY CARP!!!
|
So, life here in Charleston is...well, it just is. Good news: I've applied for about 8 jobs in the last 2 months, compared to 2 jobs in 8 months, which was about the rate in Farmville. Also, I've made a friend! Bad news: No luck with the jobs. I was on the way to an interview today when my car started acting weird. Looked over at the gauges and it was overheating, so I pulled into a shopping center and without even looking at the place I was pulling into until stopping my car, I saw it was Advance Auto! I don't believe in God, really, but I do believe in luck, karma, and fate. How awesome is that!? So, the guy there checked it out, told me the troubles, and then I drove it to a mechanic. It should be done later today. Funny thing - I just took it to the same mechanic 2 weekends ago, but for something else. I've gotten to know the shuttle driver pretty well now. More good news: This repair shouldn't be super expensive, and I called the coffee shop where I had an interview, told the guy what happened, and he said I can come in Monday. More bad news: well, kind of. That friend I made is a man. I tend to have more guy friends, so that's not an issue by itself. The issue is WTF is going on here? This is the first time I've befriended a person that is not in some way connected to a larger group of friends, so a complete stranger pretty much. We met at a bar (get start, right?). He graduated from Longwood, so knows Farmville very well. He also just moved here in January, so I thought we could meet people together. That's what I said "Yeah, we can hang out and meet people together." He has called and arranged 2 "dates". One to a BBQ place last Friday, and then to see Inception this past Monday. I thought maybe some of his buddies would be there too, but no. Just the 2 of us. Ok, to keep it short (because I noticed how long this post is getting), we talked for HOURS on Friday and Monday after our hang out/date-things, which he arranged - his idea, not mine. We have so much in common! He called me at 9:45 Sunday to see if I wanted to go to the movie that day or Monday. Now, we haven't talked since Tuesday evening. I sent him a text yesterday around 5pm asking what he was doing this weekend. Just to hang out. no repsonse. Ok - so, like I said WTF is going on? Male/female friendships sometimes just don't work I guess.If you've read all of this - walk away from your computer and go enjoy the weather! Or play piano! |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

He's either busy or he's playing games. Either way, you should relax and not concern yourself with it. You know how cool you are. We all think you are very cool anyway. That should be enough for anyon..... oh, wait...

ZOOOOOM!

Hope something pans out with the jobs! I picked up my best job ever pretty much less than a day after I left one of my worst ones ever. And after that, I applied to some 20+ places and couldn't find anything for over a month. It can be tough! As far as that guy goes:
Yep. Guys are simple; it's one of these two things. No reason to think anything past that, really. |

You met, then two more dates ... reads like there's been three meetings and still no sex? May be he's decided to move on to more expedient prospect. ![]() Oh well, better luck next time. In the mean time, remember that we're here for you. ![]() Best of luck with the job market!

Uh, well, if we're getting that personal, I refused an opportunity. I'm trying a new thing here, so no, sorry, I need to see him maybe another 2 times, then - sure. If he has issue with that - fVck him (well...not I guess). What's the point in playing games? Everyone does it in dating, but why? Why can't we all just say what we feel? Humans are strange. As for the jobs, thanks! I sure do need one! This one I'm going for on Monday is about 15 miles away, so I do wonder if it'll be worth it as it's only a cafe job. I'll see about pay and hours and such and then decide. I can't be picky, but if I get this job, I'll always be looking for something better and I wouldn't want to quit a few weeks or months in. |

I don't see much of one. "Not playing games" in couple's relationship is one of the rare things that Jolly agrees with me. ![]() That's a good attitude. Saying "yes" to a less-than-desirable job can open doors to better jobs and better things. A guy made a commencement speech out of this sentiment, one of the few commencement speeches that actually made some sense. Viel Glück! |
