PIC OF THE DAY!
Photo prompt=BLACK and WHITE. Took this in Paris in March. It is an advertisement (for Paris?) on a bus stop billboard.
TODAY…
1. So very thankful for a fresh, new day!
2. Thankful that my plans might be starting to come together–small steps.
3. Thankful that I rigged the coffee maker to work this morning.
4. Very, VERY thankful for the insight. I seem to need it every day.
5. Thankful for this very moment.
Yesterday was a ridiculous waste. Well, not really. I got some Christmas shopping in (it’s gonna be a lean one this year, folks…I’m glad I don’t have a sig other to shop for–kinda).
I talked with a headhunter yesterday about a job that does not sound like it’s up my alley, but I’ve decided that in this day and age it doesn’t hurt to talk with anybody and pretty much everybody. The reason why is that you never know where that conversation will go. It seems like every time I talk to people about a particular job lately, it seems to shift into a different conversation about something potentially better. Now if I could only get something to stick.
Today I hope to finalize my talks with the nonprofit so that we can start the project rolling. I’ve been thinking about how I’m going to work my commute since I’ll be staying at my parents’ place most of the time during this project. Sucks because the studio is in my building! It would have been so cool to just walk downstairs to the studio, but now I will have an hour commute.
My plan is to ask a HUGE favor of Cindy, but I’m a little nervous to do it. I want to ask her if I can stay with her on Friday nights for the next couple of months. She’s already offered (a while back) her spare bedroom, but now it’s really getting down to the time to take action. I don’t think she’ll mind, but sometimes people offer things and don’t really mean it. I’m going to see if she means it… should be interesting.
Being out of a high-paying job makes things interesting, doesn’t it?
I never ever thought I’d be in this position. It’s a very strange feeling. But then again, strangely exciting. I can’t figure it out.
I made plans to go to the movies tonight with CC. Just because. We’ve had our talk and have moved into the friends category, I guess. I’ve shared some things with him about my blues, and he is kinda lonely. So we agreed to meet tonight to let off some steam. Really nice of him, actually.
And remember Daniel, my RAD from a week or so ago? Seems that he was waiting for ME to make a move. We had a bit of a back and forth email session last night, and I sense a little insecurity on his part. It bugs me a lot because it seems that I’m attracted to insecure guys. He’s so very handsome…exactly my type in the looks department. And he’s very successful in his work. I’m really impressed with his credentials. I don’t understand why he’s not more aggressive with his courting style.
Last week we went back and forth on text last week after our date, and I thought I’d made it clear that I enjoyed our date and that I wanted to see him again. He asked if I was free over the weekend and I told him about my girls trip, and then we both agreed that we were free THIS week. I heard nothing from him until last night when he saw me on the dating site and sent me an email. Basically, he wanted to know why I wasn’t interested!! We went back and forth, and I told him that I AM interested and that I’m free this weekend, and UGH! He seems to be making it very complicated when it should be so simple.
THESE are the kinds of struggles I had with EXMS.
And after some of the comments on my entries and thinking things through, I’m starting to come to the conclusion that it’s my communication style. I think I need to be much more direct and clear. Possibly more detailed? I guess I assume that people understand me with very little information. Do you think that might be the case?
I’m going to try to be more direct in the future and see where that gets me. I’m also going to try to make things more clear here on OD. I do realize that I omit, but many times it’s because I’m trying to remain at least a little anonymous here. It’s a fine line, isn’t it?
Bottom line, I really do want a date with Daniel. I sent an email this morning, hoping that I’ve gotten my point across. We’ll see. Hopefully today.
Okay. Ready to begin my day. Yes, I do love writing in the morning better than at night.
Have a great one, everyone!
Big besos!!
* Another note on anonynotes. The reason WHY I’ve left many of my entries on “All Notes” is because there might be someone out there with something insightful to say who has stumbled upon this diary. I want to hear it. Or when someone wants to say something constructive and doesn’t necessarily want to leave their signature, then fine.
But when an anonynoter writes STUPID drivel simply to hurt feelings or be an ass, then it’s obviously not the point. I don’t know what I’ve done to attract a few incredibly dense fools here, but I’m over it.
If you want to leave a note, please do. You don’t have to be nicey-nicey (and the helpful notes aren’t necessarily all pleasant–I welcome constructive criticism, you know I do).
But I don’t need to be picked apart for ridiculous things (see previous entry) that are flat out WRONG! I’m no longer going to waste my time. You want to note something stupid? Note away. But you’re going to at least have to make a fake diary to do so.
Signed notes from now on.
