Home for the Holiday
About a month ago the Debbies invited me to go to Vegas for Labor Day weekend. I thought about it, checked out the flights and things that we could do, but never went ahead and actually booked it. Things just got so busy with the new puppy. And how was I going to just up and leave him after just getting him. I would have felt terrible. So I pretty much was home for the holiday. Here in Pennsyltucky. I guess I should consider myself lucky. There were far worse places to be. I had plenty of food and water so what was I feeling sad about? It's something about holidays in general that makes me depressed.
I went out with the X on Friday night. We went for dinner and I was completely nauseous even before the main course came. Needless to say, it was an early night. I guess that was a good thing. Saturday I woke up and felt fine. Went to the Salon to get my hair highlighted, then it was onto the nail place. Came back to play with Benji and then decided that I was going to teach him French! Saturday night I went out with my favorite married couple for a drink. Again, it was an early night but this time it was because Tracy thought the bartenders boobs were too big. Although she would never admit that. Sunday, I pretty much spent the day with Benji.
Monday was the worst! Monday was Labor Day. The day that people are supposed to invite you to a barbecue. I spent Monday feeling bad about the poor people in New Orleans, and the stupid government for not doing anything for so long. I went to the gas station and filled the tank of my 3 month old SUV (who knew? i am playing dumb like the government) It was just under $60.00 to fill the tank. That's quite an increase! These gas stations were really jumping the gun here. $3.569/per gallon. Why can't they just say $3.57? It's hard to believe that 4 1/2 years ago it was only 99 cents per gallon! Wonder if we will ever see that price again?
So I went over to the mall so that I could singlehandedly boost the economy!
Match.com is proving to be pretty lame right now. I'm getting emails but not from real quality guys. No one who is really "date worthy". Perhaps in time. I am so the I have to have it right now person.
I know I need to realize that I am exactly where I am supposed to be right now and that when I am ready, Mr. Wonderful will turn up! Whoever he is?
Work has been really painful lately. It seems like the whole company is in this rut. I guess it's the nature of the business. Ups and Downs. Ah the life of a Technical Recruiter. I absolutely hate when I tell people what I do and they say, "Oh so you're a headhunter." I want to kick them really hard. I would love to have a really good comeback for that. I have not come up with anything good in the past ten years. Not that I've tried, I usually try to explain how what I do is "different". I'm in "Consulting". Really, it's the same god damn thing.
What I really need is a job with background music!
Elliot called. It seems he read the book I told him about. Blink!. He wasn't too impressed with it. I tried to explain what I got out of it. It's funny how two people can read the same book and come away with a completely different experience.
