I attended my fist Meetup today and it was pretty cool! My main reason for joining a meetup is to try and get some new friends, and find people that like doing the same things I do. SAdly my boyfriend just isnt into seeing art, or going out very much for that matter. However we get along in other ways, and instead of being resentful to him for never wanting to do stuff why don't I find other people to do stuff with?
I joined a women's social meetup that tends to have mostly people my age. The group isn't that active, but they are trying. Three of us met at the meetup today. They were both really nice, and I look forward to hanging out with them again.
Here is a pic of some of the pumpkins. There were hundreds, and regret that I did not take pictures of my favorite ones, I actually forgot I had a camera until I was about to leave. My only problem with the pumpkins is they were very overpriced for decoarions (in my opinion) although they were all very beautiful. I could tell I would be addicted to collecting glass pumpkins if I bought one, so I didn't. I should probably pay bills before buying glass pumpkins. Ha, ha.
Came home from work and the boyfriend is asleep, and I am bored.
Oh I went to my new job today, it was pretty kick-ass. For one thing, it was so quiet! And I loved it! I concentrated on my work, didn't get distracted, so far it's great. Working with a friend of mine is pretty cool also, but the interesting thing is that we are peers and we get to share some responsibilities while others are our own. It is quite a difference but I can tell this will be good for me. I am looking forward to seeing what I can do for this company and that is one thing you don't really get an asspect of at a big huge company like my last employer. This is a teeny tiny company, and I am expected to make it better. It really does something for me.
The hours are long, though. I get to start at 9 AM which lets me sleep in a bit, which is why I am up right now!
So today was my last day at the place I have called my job for about 3 and a half years. It is sooo sad. It feels a lot like moving away from home. Maybe a better analogy is graduating from High School. It is like you spent the last 4 years seeing or hanging out with the same people 5 days a week then it is time to move on and find something else to do. Only difference is the choice was mine to leave, cause a great opportunity came along. I know it's the right thing to do. It's totally hard though. What made it worse was how they all came by to say good bye and I even got a Hello Kitty cake. Oh, the clencher was this card I was given, everyone had their comments and wishing me luck. See? Just like High School yearbook. All over again!
Well it was a great day. I got to pawn off all of my work on Malcolm which was awesome. Thanks Mal, I know that you are reading this! So I played a lot of Pogo and had fun and smoked a lot of cigarettes cause people wanted to do last cigarettes with me. What a ritual. I got to play a last game of Lottso Deluxe against Aaron and yes he kicked my ass again. I talk shit but he always kicked my ass and today was no exception. I believe he was #1 and I #2 only like 10 points behind.
I am going out with a friend of mine to Red Robin and have a burger and drink some beers and it is kind of like a celebration, at least in my mind. Well, I added some new pictures today that have been on my phone forever that I forgot about. The ones of me are from the day I went out for my birthday. I love dressing up but I don't often, so I had to take pics of my perfect makeup, how vain of me. Actually I am quite vain, but that is another story altogether. I am rambling! Lost focus! Here is a picture of my cake. It really made me smile when I saw it, I think I choked up :) And here is a song from my favoritest ever, Gwen, she sums it up in this song.
I heard from my friend Lisa today. She went into surgery to have a cyst on her ovary looked at. I do not think she knew that when she woke up she would have lost her right ovary. It is possible that they told her beforehand but she was super groggy and tired when I heard form her. I feel sorry for her and I hope that she is ok. I know having a baby is her one goal in the whole world and I really hope that she has one someday. She is only 27 and I am so sad.
I must admit I just signed up because this blogging service was too cute to pass up. It is hard to believe that I used to be a serious budding web-designer/blogger from scratch and now I can't even bear the thought of sitting down and making a template by myself, etc. Of course, I was doing that stuff when I had all the time in the world. I am now about to start a new job next Monday and that will leave me very little free time. So, I think this service will be helpful. I hope I am more inspired to write here than on my Blogspot, I never feel like talking on there.
