It's Who I Am.

Red doesn't seem to be interested... So I quit seeing her... and tonight I went out with someone else.  I'm impressed. We'll see how it goes, but I don't want to take anything too quickly.  At least she seems to have a sense of humor.  She also has an air of sophistication about her. The first date went really well... at least as far as I am concerned... although she could be sitting at home laughing her ass off that the matchmaking service set her up with me.... I'm fairly confident though that things might go well with this one... finally.  I'm wondering if I've set up high expectations... I'm a decent person.. but I'm sure my faults will show through as we get to know each other more. I'm going to try to think positive though.  I will say that in my review, I couldn't think of anything negative to say... That was a definite plus. I am not looking to jump deeply into anything, but at the same time... I don't want to date one after another... just trying to find something that works.  Time will tell where things go, and at the moment, I have plenty of time. I've got so much spare time that I will probably be working quite a bit of overtime at work to get back ahead financially... this medical issue hit me pretty hard.  But I'm surviving quite well in spite of it. My share of my prescriptions runs over $250/mo... that's after the insurance co-pay.  Add a $325/mo car payment... and $1800 child support/alimony... well.. I'm not all that worried.. The good lord has provided for me thus far and has given me what I need... if not all I wanted.  I'm still in good shape and have enough savings for awhile.

My work screwed up my W-2... gave me the wrong one.. and they're taking their time about getting it corrected.  I will need it in order to get my taxes done on time... but it doesn't seem to be of any urgency to them to get it corrected.  That's just my luck... I might have to file an extension. I'm looking to my uncle to get a bit of help as far as tax advice goes.... I am usually able to get it done myself, but due to several complicated issues, I'm going to have to do some research on tax laws this year.

Work is still going well... I'm being treated with great respect...and that means a whole lot. That's all I really want... is someone to acknowledge when I bust my butt and get much more done than what is required of me.  I will stick with having a good work ethic in any case... just for me.. it's who I am.

Not In My Lifetime.

It's 1:15 am.. I just got back from my niece's wedding.. and it was.. different .. not what I was used to.. but nice all the same..  I only have this to say about the reception... WTF!!! l guess I should give a bit of background information... my spouse wandered off doing her own thing.. as I prefer it that way... so when I happen to come into close proximity of her by accident.. she motions me over.. and has been talking to the head of the catering company... they have been talking for awhile.. and in a short period of time.. they have been getting to know each other a bit..   as I approach.. this woman.. who's name is the same as my spouse.. is saying.. "I just seem to know him.. he looks like John.. somebody"  My spouse then starts with a sales pitch of how great of a guy I am.. and what I do teaching computers.. and this woman starts striking up a conversation with me in front of my spouse.. she even talks about how handsome I am...   she mentions that she i...

Something I Have Learned Well.

It's odd how we interact with others on so many levels... one would assume by my wide range of references that I have a large assortment of friends.. In all actuality, the people in my circle of friends could be counted on my hands.. and close friends... well..  easily on one hand. I'm not what I would consider a social butterfly... but to be honest.. I sometimes like crowds.. I enjoy having groups of people around me.. I don't stick out like a sore thumb.. and sometimes getting lost in the rest of the world... isn't such a bad thing. How often do you go and "people watch" ....and then think about those people once you're gone... not very often, I'm guessing.. not unless one did something completely out of the ordinary.  I just like having the feeling that I'm normal.. an ordinary person... I just sat here in this chair for most of the weekend.. not really accomplishing anything.. nothing constructive by any means... I feel as though maybe I'm...

Stay Out Of Things Where I Don't Belong.

I am starting to get used to the hours... I think... who knows.. one day I feel like I was drug out of my bed kicking and screaming... other days I feel like I've been poured full of coffee and energy drinks... I've cut down on my morning coffee by the way... Oh... I didn't blog about that... after first moving here, I started drinking flavored coffee in the mornings... but I've decided I don't want to get dependent on that.... I still have the occasional coffee... but as I've said before... too much of anything is a bad idea... so I cut back.  I also decided to give up something for Lent... I might have blogged about it... but I tried to think of something that would be a sacrifice.. so I gave up masturbation.  I know that's not really in the spirit of Lent... as far as giving up something like that... but hey... I can't think of many other things I enjoy more... especially with my sex life as it is... I sorta don't have the inspiration at this poi...
