Where I'm at. Where I might be going.

I don’t know how much more I’ll be blogging. I’ve obviously been slacking pretty badly. In the past, my excuse has been that while I’ve been ignoring my own blog I’ve at least been keeping up with all of yours.

That hasn’t even been the case. Here is the problem:

There is this guy that needs more attention. He has been worrying about everyone else for a long time now. He doesn’t get much time to himself and when he does, he doesn’t even know what to do with that time. It’s new territory for him.

This guy suggested something a few weeks ago kind of figuring it wasn’t a likely possibility. But then things happened. Other people needed help (of course) and this suggestion he made came up again.

So, he’s giving this suggestion he made a chance. It’s new, different, and so far working. He has a new job and has to travel a little more, so the timing is also somewhat appropriate.

……….


I probably won’t stop blogging any time soon, but it’s probably going to slow down even more than it has. It’s been such a huge help to me to have a friendly and responsive medium to express my thoughts and meet people and to learn. I’ve made many friends that I’ll not likely ever meet in person, but that doesn’t reduce the influence they have had on my life. Especially given these last couple years have been a bit exceptional

My main point here is that I could easily be blathering away again in a day or two but I don’t think that’s very likely. And if I visited your site daily in the past and now I’m not, it has nothing to do with you. It’s just that I need to work on me for a while, now that I have had the chance to get this far.

Yup. That’s where I’m at.

Semi-sorta-weekly-update

Well where do I start? Things are going very well at my new job. I’m even starting to get used to the idea of working 40 or more hours a week again. Boy did I have it cushy at my old job…

I will likely do a vendor visit next week sometime and I have a feeling I should renew my passport. They shouldn’t be long trips but I see them coming soon.

As for my needing a date situation… I might just have one. Pick your jaw up off your keyboard, I don’t know for sure yet. I placed a call yesterday afternoon to her since it had been a long time since we had talked. We had some awkward moments years ago but we didn’t cross any lines. Since then, either my life has been a bit too unstable or she was involved with someone herself. I guess she’s not involved anymore. She called me back late last night and we talked for quite a while.

I’ll try to keep you posted.

Oh yeah, I have a blog.

Hey everyone. You are probably sick of reading about how busy and crazy things have been for me. I’m sure your own lives have been also. I wouldn’t know though because I’m a super slacker who reads other peoples blogs like once a week at best.

I have been quite the dedicated new employee. My responsibilities, involvement, and understanding of things have improved immensely from this time last week. Some of these people are pulling 10-12 hours a day and weekends right now. I really, really, really, don’t want to do that but I will if necessary.

Things with my ex and her life are quickly reaching pandemic proportions. I’ve had to take evasive action and called in many a favor to assist with child dropping and picking up stuff. I’ve got a new plan in the works to hopefully take care of this issue relatively soon. And cute or not I have the stinking kitten again. She’s growling at my dog as I type.

Then there is the company holiday party. I need a date. More importantly I want a date. I mean I’ve wanted to start dating for some time now but now I have a fixed date, time, place where I will need one. At my old job, not like they’d have a holiday party of any sort anyway, it was no big deal. Everyone knew of my situation and I could go solo without any issues.

There is this pretty woman at work…
