Ok, I found out where we're going on our date tomorrow. He spared no expense, he is going to blow all my other dates out of the water, he is really spoiling me!! He's taking me to...........
Panini's.
Really?! Panini's?! Home of the overstuffed sandwich?! Good golly miss Molly, I hope I'm allowed to have more than just water to drink.
I feel like this is SO typical. A guy talks about how much better he is than every other guy, how you'll have a way better time on his date than any before...and then when it comes down to it, he takes you to Panini's. Why not just splurge for McDonald's? At least they have a Play Place.
I know I have no romantic interest in him, but he's the one who talked this date up like it was going to blow me out of the freakin' water. Am I being too hard on him?
That's all I've got.

Douche.
I hope nobody from work ever stumbles across this little beauty, I'd probably get my ass canned.
With that being said, I'd like to rant a little bit about my Executive Director. He's pretty much already told me I have this promotion, so why I need to still have the interview and shit is beyond me, but I guess those are the rules. Whatever. Anyway, he's super thrilled that I decided to apply and step up for this job...mainly he's excited because now he'll be saving money in our budget. Because with the other person leaving and me swooping in, that means it's one less person to pay since my old job will then be obsolete. He literally told me this. Thanks a lot douche bag!
At my work we have the option of a 4 or 5 day work week. When I was hired on I didn't really get an option, the position was for a 4 day work week. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely ok with this! Especially considering I came from working at the airport which, in case y'all didn't know, is open every single day of the year. Holidays, weekends, blizzards. We're like mailmen, except we don't get federal holidays and Sundays off. I digress. So generally I work Mon-Thur from 7:30-6pm. Well since this guy I'm taking over for is only here until April 29 my boss wanted me to get as much training in as I can and told me to go ahead and come in on Friday (today), even if it meant I'd have overtime. Well, yesterday before my ED left he said something about how I'll be off for the weekend, right? I told him I'd actually be there tomorrow so I could train more. He says, "oh...so are you working a 5 day week then?" This was at 5:49, the people who work a 5 day work week work from 8:30-5pm, so why would I still fucking be here you moron?! I told him that this week I'd be working 5 days. He mulls this over and says, "like...overtime?" No you dip shit, I'm working for free. Really?! So I replied with something like, "well, yeah, I guess so. Melissa wants me to get in as much training as I can since he leaves next Friday and I won't be here," and then I turned around and continued working on my background checks. Fuck off. If you're going to worry about the 6 hours of overtime you're going to pay me then you can kiss my ass. I just do what I'm told by MY BOSS. Thank goodness I have the nicest/coolest boss in the entire fucking world, and she totally had my back when he called her as soon as he left yesterday. Totally knew that was going to happen.
I feel that I should mention that my ED somehow made a miracle happen by getting this job. He knows absolutely nothing about any of the things we do and just kisses the Board of Directors' asses constantly. And he doesn't do anything all day long except go from office to office seeing what people are doing and acting like he's working. He makes me so mad!
Not to mention one day my boss called me into her office to tell me that "someone" had said I was on a personal phone call on my cell phone earlier that morning. Ok, well it could've only been my ED because he was the only person who saw me on the phone that early in the morning. And, news-fucking-flash dip shit, I was talking to our IT company because we were getting new computers and mine was the first to arrive and I was having problems because my email and printers weren't set up on it and I'm not allowed to set them up since I'm not an administrator. Oh, did I mention I was on the WHITE phone at my desk, not my BLACK iPhone with a BLACK cover on it? He just makes shit up, I swear! And the only reason he even complained was because a tenant came in for an appointment and he actually had to help someone. Heaven fucking forbid. So I told my boss what I was really doing and he had mentioned to her later that I looked like I was scurrying by him in the hallway. She straight up told him that I knew it was him and that I was on the phone with the IT people on the work phone. What does he say? "Well, I didn't say it was a cell phone, I just thought it sounded like a personal call." How did it sound that way?! I was on the phone for a total of 30 seconds by the time you got to the front office you dumb ass. And why didn't he just ask me?! Do you not run this entire Housing Authority?! No balls. At all. Ugh, douche.
Other than that though, I really do love my job. Most of my co-workers are awesome and I love helping the people! Now if we could just work on getting a new ED...
P.S. These are the two cars I'm looking at getting, they seem super similar to me, the Cruze and the new Focus. Any suggestions/comments on whether one is better than the other? This is my first NEW CAR purchase...if all goes well anyway!

Back in the day.
I was watching He's Just Not That Into You a few days ago and I was intrigued by something Drew Barrymore's character said. "I had this guy leave me a voice mail at work so I called him at home and then he e-mailed me to my Blackberry and so I texted to his cell and then he e-mailed me to my home account and the whole thing just got out of control. And I miss the days when you had one phone number and one answering machine and that one answering machine has one cassette tape and that one cassette tape either had a message from a guy or it didn't. And now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies. It's exhausting." I mean, seriously! What happened to those days? Everyone's relationships are via text now. My bf's never call me like they do when we first start dating. That's incredibly annoying to me. All I want is a guy that's going to call me, instead of doing all of these around about things to get ahold of me. Also, when you first meet a guy and you're getting to know them, what do they do? They text you. I am beyond over that. The next person I date is going to have to do a lot of things to get to me. I'm not going to be able to full give myself to someone unless they really deserve it. It's unfortunate when you think someone is that person and they turn out to be just like all the rest. Is it so much to want a guy to call you? To stop by out of nowhere? To write you a note and leave it in your purse so you found it unexpectedly? It's the little things really, and even though guys know that's what we want, most of them never do it. I'm confused by that.
There's nothing worse than thinking you're getting everything from your man. Basically what I mean is that you spend all this time with your man and you think you know him, you guys plan your whole life together and you're open with him about what you want and who you are, you think you're getting the same from him and when things get too serious or too real, they cut and run. What's that about? I thought we wanted the same things? I thought we wanted them together? Oh, we did want them together until things started getting too real, until we started fighting. Then you don't want those things anymore and you can no longer see us being together. Well thanks, that makes me feel all tingly inside. I really appreciate that. Men are the devil.
Moving on from all this heavy talking I've been doing lately. I'm truly interested in following blogs that are just guys or girls talking about their adventures in life, it's so fun to see the things you have in common with people you've never met, people who are hundreds or thousands of miles away from you. But for some reason whenever I hit that "next blog" button all I find are the families. I guess for me having a family blog or a blog shared with your husband is kind of like having a shared Facebook. I don't get it. I mean, you can have a blog all by yourself and share your life stories involving your husband and/or kids, but that doesn't mean you both need to be on the blog. Actually, from what it seems, most of the time it's just like it is on Facebook, the woman (usually) creates the Facebook/blog and puts JohnJane Doe and really it's just Jane doing all the updating, but she feels the need to have her husband on there too. To me, people who share Facebooks are people who can't fully trust their significant other. Like they need to check up on them and make sure they aren't doing anything they shouldn't be doing, so they put both their names on it so both their friends have to be on the one page. I wish more people would live their lives separately from their significant other. Don't get me wrong, I'm the kind of person who wants to spend as much time with mine as I can, but I also don't revolve my entire world around them. Anyway, I got off topic there. I just wish there were more search options on Blogger. Maybe there is and I just don't know about them, so if anyone knows of a way to search them that would be great!
I've been on a movie watching kick lately. I've been spending a lot of days at home, alone and watching movies. It's been quite relaxing actually. I should do this more often. There's a few movies in theaters that I'm really interested in seeing: Adjustment Bureau, Water for Elephants, Limitless, Hanna, Sourcecode, Lincoln Lawyer, The Hangover II, and probably a few more that I can't think of currently. Has anyone seen any of those yet? Well, I know you haven't seen Hangover yet, but that is sure to be hysterical. I saw the newest trailer and I almost died laughing. Those guys crack me up! I'd really like to read Water for Elephants before seeing the movie, but I'm not sure if I can wait that long. First I'd have to go and get a library card and all that, because I don't really want to buy the book, and that just seems like a hassle. Although I think one of my friends may own it, I'll have to inquire about that. What are some movies you guys are interested in seeing?
Stumbled across this and pretty much agree with it completely. Wild!

I know, I know.
Ok, I know I just posted something, but I've got another thing to bitch about discuss. Being that I just created this blog, I'm trying to find some people to follow and I've basically just been going to the "next" button on the top of each blog. Oh my gosh, is it just me or is every single one that comes up a family blog?! I'm kind of trying to make it a rule to not follow family blogs, too much stuff I can't relate to and I don't really want to hear about someones kids and husband all the time. Am I jealous because I don't have those things? Yeah, probably. But, the point is, this is my blog and I can follow whomever I so choose, and I choose not to follow families. Ugh. Suggestions about blogs to follow? Anyone? Bueller...Bueller?
HELP!

HELP!

Where to start.
I suppose I should start off by saying that this blog has been made for one reason, that reason being I wanted a place to go where I could put it all out there. I needed a place that I could go to just let it all out there, start fresh and not feel like I need to censor myself because people I know were reading.
So, where do I start?? Such a good question. I guess I'll start from the beginning! Ok, well, not the very beginning, that would take way too long. There are a few things I'd like to go over today. My number one thing is friends. Who has those friends that are just fair weather friends? I'm kind of getting too old to have those types of friends. I just want friends that are truly my friend and aren't going to go talking behind my back. Is that so much to ask? I'm afraid in this day and age it is. I think I can count the number of people that are that kind of friend - the kind that's truly my friend, not the fair weather kind - to me on one hand. And, just for the record, I have a normal hand with just five fingers. What has happened to the world? It's all about gossip and hurting people anymore. But let's not focus on the negative, shall we? I enjoy that I only have a few friends that I can really trust and know that they're not ever going to be out to get me. I think it means a whole lot more. Don't get me wrong, I have other friends, just not that many real friends that I would trust with my life. I think it's definitely ok to have friends that you can't completely trust, because if you trust everyone there's something wrong with you. Come on, be honest, there's never going to be a group of 30 friends that you can honestly trust with every dirty detail of you life and know they aren't going to go tell someone else. Am I right? Of course I am. I think having a handful of real friends is so much more rich than anything else. I know I can complain to them, cry to them, tell them my good news, tell them...anything! And I can completely trust they aren't going to run off and tell the first "friend" they see while they're out for an evening cocktail or something along those lines. You guys getting my drift out there? I sure hope so.
With all that being said, I find it extremely interesting the kind of people you become close to. Is it the person you've known since you were 2? Is it the person from your English class in high school that you never actually spoke to while you were in the class, but you guys ran into each other while you were out with a mutual friend? Is it the boy/girl you had a crush on when you were younger? Is it an ex-boyfriend/girlfriend? Is it someone you met while on vacation? I mean, there are so many amazing possibilities of who your friends could be! That completely fascinates me to no end. Though it is a sad day when you and your "best friend" part ways. It's almost like breaking up with a boyfriend, except so much worse because she's the one you would complain to about your boyfriend. I don't like losing friends, but as you grow up, it happens. There's nothing wrong with that, I think it's completely normal. It's like shedding yourself of old skin, sometimes every few years you need to re-evalute your life and see if the people in it are hurting it or helping it. I'd say that the ones who are hurting it should probably get the boot, but to each their own.
Another thing I find incredibly interesting, and painfully uninteresting all at the same time, is relationships. Like, real relationships. Boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, husband/husband, whatever you prefer! I realize that when you start dating someone you're probably not going to be 100% your real self, at least most people aren't anyway, and that's cool because you need to get to know someone for yourself anyway, you can't just take their word for it. That goes back to trusting everyone, if you trust the boy who tells you on day one that he'll be the guy who will make all other guys you've dated look like a pile of dog shit, I'm pretty sure I'm going to want to believe that, what girl wouldn't? But, you need to find out for yourself. Does he do special things for you just because? Does he tell you you're beautiful when you wake up in the morning and he's been watching you sleep? Does he buy you the object you've been wanting but have been putting off getting because you think you don't deserve it? Well, I've dated guys that have done that stuff, but not all of it. And it was nice while it lasted, the first couple months you're together. But then things get serious, you start hanging out more and meeting each others families and friends, then you start fighting and you start seeing them for who they really are. And after all is said and done and the fight is over, do you still feel the same way about them as you did before? I'm at a point in my life where I've been lied to by so many men it's almost second nature, but I don't punish others for the ones from my past. I am, however, definitely not ever again going to be the first person to utter those three little, yet extremely powerful, words. Never. Again. I don't care if Jude Law came along and wanted to date me (so long as we don't have a nanny anywhere around), I'm not going to tell him I love him first. No way! Not happening Jude, sorry honey! So, in that way, I guess I'm definitely punishing my future for my past. We can't all be perfect.
Well, I think this gives everyone a little bit to ponder over. Kind of deep for my first post, huh? Sorry, I couldn't stop myself.
