| | Ok SO I haven't blogged for a while....sorry! Here are some updates for ya -
I need a new job! I really can't stand the general public anymore. Retail was ok back in FL because I was young, living alone (well, with Addy cat) and dind't have anyone to answer to. I could work 60 hour weeks and no one really cared. My bf lived 5 minutes away and then we ended up living together so we were together alot. Now jump ahead 5 years and I'm still doing the same thing, working 40 hour weeks which is a little better, but I have a brother that I never see who lives IN MY HOUSE, a BF that I see everyday but for 2 or 3 hours before one of us crashes of exhaustion and a cat who has no idea who I am. I would really like to stay in retail at a more corporate level working with numbers and the business end of it but who wants to move to NY or, in Gap's case San Fran to do that?!?! In FL I didn't want to commute and/or live in donwtown Miami so couldn't go corporate there and although Cali is very appealing I don't think my friends and fam would be happy with me moving to San Fran. SO i'm stuck - moral is, I need a new career. The problem is that all my experience is in retail so starting over would mean BIG salary cuts which my lifestyle cannot accomodate right now. I interviewed for a Sport Marketing firm last week and they actually called me back! But the position was to manage one of their new offices in Worcester, Springfield or Providence. Now, as much fun as moving to one of the murder capitals of Massachusetts sounds, I decided it just wasn't appealing and I didn't show up for the second interview today. Which is very unprofessional and un-like me but oh well. It's different because I currenlty have a job - if I was out of work I wouldn't have done that! I would like to get back into sports because it's what I know and like but part of me has always loved design and I would really love interior design ...but I never went to art school or anything and I'd need to take classes at a local college which I don't have the money for......UGH, guess I'm stuck at BR for a while....
Well for more uplifing but surprising news I am so in love  Yes yes Mel, you can pat yourself on the back THEN mock me.....Now, if you don't know me I'll tell you I've never been the kind of person to settle down. In college I was wild child - I mean seriously, I went to school in Daytona Beach. Then I got a job, moved to West Palm and on the first day met the guy who I thought I was going to marry. We were friends for a couple months then dated for 3 years. Then I left him (minor details, not important now), moved back to MA a year ago and went wild again. The summer of 2005 was amazingly fun but I was sick of a different guy every week and none of them stuck. Then I met J in early November and at first I was still in player mode and tried breaking up twice. But he was persistant and such a sweetheart and now two months later I'm crazy about him and see myself settling down again. But don't tell him that.....hee hee. I love his family and his kids are good.......yes, we all know I'd rather punt a child for a field goal than play with them.....but I actually got along with the little one and he ended up really warming up to me the other night.
Ok enough babbling for one day.....guess I should write more then they won't be so long! Now it's back to cleaning house.......Have a fun day everyone! |
