PIC OF THE DAY!
Today’s photo prompt is “a photo of something you’d normally ignore”. This is a little section of my floor. You probably already know this, but my building used to be a warehouse, and I love the markings on the floor. I imagine the past life of this building and who walked the halls, but I usually don’t even notice these any more.
TODAY…
1. I’m happy I got to spend time with my friend Andrea last night – what a treat!
2. Looking forward to the building’s Holiday Party tonight.
3. …and the champagne tasting earlier this evening.
4. Thankful for a phone interview in less than an hour.
5. Thankful for the possibilities ahead!
Happy December 3rd. Feels so weird writing that.
I’d forgotten yesterday that I’d made tentative plans with a former vendor/friend of mine about a month ago. I forgot to add it to my calendar, and she replied to something I’d posted on Facebook, and *blammo* I was happy that I hadn’t made plans last night!
We made plans to go to dinner, and I picked her up at her hotel. Had a nice time, though it was the tiniest bit uncomfortable considering she was going to have a meeting with all my former folk at my old company today. PLUS she mentioned that she was going to have dinner with Ex-Boss and her husband tonight, so I knew I needed to be in super great spirits. Not fakey, but not all bitter, you know.
And truly, I’m not bitter about anything anymore. I’m just ready to get a move on, that’s all. I don’t want to dwell in any of that past bullshit, but I also know that any news I shared with Andrea last night was going to go directly into Ex-Boss’s ear tonight.
But we allllllllll know that.
So dinner was cool. Andrea looked great. She’s been through the ringer over the past year as well. Got married right before EXMS and I were supposed to get married and that’s already ended due to her ex-husband’s drink/drug abuse. She’s already way back into the game as if she just had a little starter marriage. Funny. She’s not bitter either. She’s gorgeous and really young and is having no problem hooking handsome eligible bachelors. I’m not jealous–just fascinated by her stories. We laughed and shared dating stories and had a really nice time.
She also gave me some career leads as she’s in my industry (but in sales) and is based in New York so she has a lot of access to leads. But it’s also just so weird knowing what a good friend she is with Ex-Boss, and so that kind of talk was a little less fluid.
We called it an early night which was fine by me.
Tonight I have the champagne tasting with CC (early) and the Holiday Party after that. I’m looking forward. I have to figure out what to WEAR because that tasting is super early (starts at 4:30!). Ohh. I think I know! Black and sparkly. I’ll tell you about it all tomorrow, I’m sure.
OH! In other online dating news, I’m emailing a guy who’s on a secret assignment in Afghanistan (!) and another guy who is local, but seems to want to write volumes and volumes. I want to cut to the chase. I need to feel that chemistry again. I have more to say on this, but not right now.
Not sure if Best Bud received my resume. I haven’t heard back from her. There’s so much to check on…and I have that phone thing in 1/2 an hour and counting. Ugh. Better get some other things done.
Besos!
