NJM18 - 28: No News is Not Good News in These Foolish Things

I don’t know, you guys. I’ve said it in notes, but I’m starting to feel a bit foolish as I checked for flights from Edinburgh to NYC over the NYE weekend, and I don’t think there are really any left at this point.
Tomorrow, I’m going the direct route. That is, if I have the opportunity.
The last couple of days have been interesting in that The Scot and I have had very little communication. We’ve both had pretty insanely busy workdays, so our texting has been sporadic.
At this point I kinda think he’s avoiding the conversation by being very busy and having small tragedies happen every day.
But I do have to say that the more he avoids, the more I’m willing to at least dip my toe into other opportunities. I’ve filled up my dance card for the weekend. Meeting a new guy on Friday. He and I have been texting off Tinder for several weeks now - extremely sporadically and then he went off on a couple weeks of travel, but I agreed to meet him Friday in my hood.
And then Wine-ish called me tonight and asked me out on a proper date. Dude is sooooo polite and has the dating thing DOWN.
If nothing else, I will NOT be lonely this weekend.
Work’s weird again. Today I got jittery feelings that one of the top dogs from the company we acquired is going to be offered MY job…and that’s probably why we have been working together for the last couple of days. He had meetings with CEO and my boss for a good portion of the day, and then he and I met a couple of times and he asked me a lot of questions about work/life balance and my role within the company.
It just felt super iterview-y. And it makes sense. It just sucks, though.
Or maybe not. I have a phone interview tomorrow for something that I don’t want, but again, you never know what you may be able to spin right into…
Okay, my eyes are doing that thing that they’ve been doing every night when I’ve tried to write an entry recently: they’re closing quickly. Hard to type with my eyes closed, although some of that is happening too!
Better sleep now.
xox,
GS

I'm really glad you're keeping your options open but hoping fervently you don't need them!

maybe that new person is going to be your new boss.

Well, that could be, too.

I find some of my best typing is when I have my eyes closed. At least in terms of spelling and the like. ;)
Here's hoping he pulls it off and doesn't just throw tons of excuses at you.
