Whoops! I mailed it today and his birthday is Wednesday. They don’t pick up mail until 2pm and then again at 5pm. Then it has to go to the main post office, sorted and sent to his city. He’ll probably receive the card on Thursday or Friday. I already had the card but I had forgotten to get his gift card so I kept putting off mailing the card.
On a positive note, I’m sure he’ll love the card.
There is somebody right now who I’m kinda seeing who is muy caliente. But I already know he’s all wrong for me. This is not a “real” relationship so to speak. We’re basically just seeing each other.
He’s cool with just dating and not having a real commitment. It’s not usually the kind of relationship that I go for but I figured I would just go with the flow. I’m usually all about stability and long-term prospects. But there’s something about this guy that made me change my mind.
As long as I keep it casual I’ll be ok.
By the time I get to work on Friday, the week is over for me. I pretty much just coast along on Friday until it’s time to go home. This week has been a hot mess all around and I’m glad it’s over. There was the job fiasco but there were a few other things that happened along the way that I had to deal with.
I hope next week is better because I surely can’t deal with another week like this.
I found out who got the job that I really wanted. Her interview sucked, her outfit was not appropriate and she rolled her eyes and sucked her teeth at the interviewer. Wow! And she got the job. She does have a degree and is working on a master’s but has no experience. I have the experience and a degree. I guess she somehow out-interviewed me.
Of course, it could have also been the see through shirt she had on.
I don’t like snow at all. I got caught in it the other night while I was coming home and it was a mess. I will drive when it’s less than 3 or 4″ of snow but once it’s more than that my car doesn’t move.
I really felt for our maintenance man because he has to come out and clean our driveway and sidewalks no matter how cold it is outside. I know he can’t wait until spring so he can set up the composter and not have to worry about freezing snow or frost outside.
To be truthful, I can’t wait for spring either. If it were up to me we would skip winter all together.
Ughhh it was terrible. Last Wednesday I got home from work and there was a note on my front door that the hot water tank in our building had burst. The building manager let me know that it would be fixed asap, the next morning. So I went into the house and washed my hands. The water was already freezing! I took a glass from the tap to drink and compared it with the temperature of a glass from the fridge and they were just about the same.
So Thursday morning I had to take a ice cold shower, which was no fun. My hair was a mess because I had been wearing it curly and had planned on washing it Thursday morning. Instead I had to brush it back with a lot of gel. By the time I got home Thursday night, the hot water was back to normal. On Friday I took a nice long shower. So much so that by the time I got out, the water was running lukewarm. Oops for my neighbors that get dressed after I do.
Now that we have a new hot water tank, hopefully this won’t happen again. Especially in winter.
I’m very undecided right now. I feel like my interview went well on Friday but the manager is still interviewing and won’t make a decision for another 2 1/2-3 weeks. Meanwhile I’m still waiting to hear about the other job. I don’t want to call human resources because I don’t want to light a fire under the hiring manager.
The reason? Best case scenario, I get offered the second job which is the one I really want. Bad but not terrible scenario is that I get offered the 1st job but not the second. Worse case scenario is that I don’t get offered either job.
I don’t know if I should keep applying and keep those irons in the fire so to speak or just wait and see how these two jobs pan out. Ughhhhhh I just wish someone would hire me for a new job and put me out of my misery!
My bus broke down today. The driver announced that the bus had to get serviced so we went about 3 more blocks until she found somewhere to pull over. Once the maintenance tech got there, they noticed that there was something that was loose that could potential fall off so the bus had to get towed back to the garage for service.
Meanwhile, she had to turn the bus off which meant no heat. So we sat there for about 20 minutes waiting for the next bus. It turns out the next 2 buses, which came fairly quickly, were totally full so we had to wait for a third bus. By the time I got on the bus I was pretty much freezing.
When I got to work, I noticed that my face was so cold that it had started to develop red splotches. Now that I’ve been at work for about an hour, my face is returning to normal and the splotches are fading.
Of course this now cuts into my overtime since I have to stay to make up my time. Oh well such is life. Luckily our buses don’t break down too often.
A bunch of nothing today so here goes:
Have a happy and safe New Years!
I don’t even know how I did with this years resolutions. I do know that I put them on my other blog so I’ll have to dig up the post and see what I wrote. Then I’ll have to do an analysis on how close I came to meeting my goals.
I do know that my savings goals should be pretty close if not over what I anticipated. That’s mainly due to my house savings account. I’ve been squirreling money away for months. My debt however, is probably slightly behind the curve. I haven’t really gotten my hands on a decent enough sum to knock my debt out.
I do need to start on this years list though. The New Year will be here before you know it.
