October 12, 1999

I've been placed through an agency with a large business doing admin assistant stuff. It's a whole lot of data entry and hodge podge work. It's not exactly what I was hoping for, but it's work. I have an interview next week with a school to be an aide. Pays better, fewer hours, summers off. :-) I'm really hoping for that... it would be nice to get into the district again, even if it isn't as a teacher. I'd still like to persue other areas, though, so that may be for the best.

In other news...

This won't be the last time you hear this from me, but I'm really glad I'm not single anymore. Jas and I went out with Dave and Jay again, along with Sarah on Friday. We went to a local comedy club and then to a few hot spots afterwards. If you know us, Jason and I, then that last part should have made you laugh because you know Jason and I don't drink, nor do we enjoy the bar scene. However, we wanted to "go with the crowd" and enjoy our evening. So, anyway, back to the glad to not be single thing. I've been kinda checking out Jay for Sarah, so I've been trying to get us all together in situations where they can get to know one another in an informal, non-threatening situation. Anyway, Sarah is far from subtle, bless her little heart, so she plants herself directly next to Jay in every situation where it is possible. When I mention I'm getting tired and my contacts are bothering me, knowing we are her ride, Sarah asks Jay if he would give her a ride home so she can stay out longer. We leave bar #1 and my eyes feel better (out of the smoke) and proceed down the block to bar #2, which is much more of a pub-like setting wherein we were able to sit down and actually have a conversation. Much silliness abounded.

I have this theory. I noticed that when we went to Dave and Jay's last week, and again this weekend, Sarah donned makeup for our adventures, something she never does on a day-to-day basis. My theory on this is that one should definitely decide to either wear makeup, or not wear makeup, and act accordingly, all the time. Why? Think about it. You go on a first date, you wear makeup. You've now set a precident. Eventually, if you stay with that partner, you will become comfortable enough that you will no longer wear makeup, right? Then your poor loved one will wonder why you don't wear makeup anymore... obviously it's because you've become too comfortable and have let yourself go... which opens the door to all sorts of agruments.

Maybe I think too much.

Coming soon... a daily dose of poetry, along with your regularly scheduled journal entry.
