Little ramblings
Last Saturday, I woke up in the weirdest mood. But it was one of those moods where you just wake up and your mind is dead set on one thing and one thing only. And it felt like everything would be right and make sense if you just set out to do what is on your mind. One of those. You just wake up, and BOOM. Epiphany. It was that kind of feeling. So it was about 8:20 am. I woke up, had breakfast, the usual routine. Browsed Facebook for a while, checked my email. Fell back asleep until about 11. I showered, went to Wegmans for some much needed groceries. I started an online defensive driving course to keep my car insurance bill down. It's been a good day so far.
I then proceeded to call my work at 2pm and declare my resignation from the company. No two weeks notice for you, fuckers.
After that, I had an interview with a company that will hire me full time at $15.35 an hour, for sitting at a desk all day taking phone calls for a communications company. According to the department manager I talked to, that's about $32k a year. Not including the incentive I'd get for working overtime. I honestly don't know why I stuck around in my job for so long, knowing that it was going nowhere, and that I would never get the raise or the better hours that I asked for about 5 times by my count. I know now that was the number one stress factor in my life. Work was no longer fun. It was just...annoying. When you're not given the opportunity to move forward, it's time to go.
When I was asked if that pay rate was okay with me, I could barely get a syllable out. "Did he really just ask me that?" I stuttered out an audible "Um, y-yeah!" I've never felt better about LEAVING a job before. It's like all the weight on my shoulders has been lifted, and I've felt alot better since. Not to mention, I got both my state and federal tax returns back a few days ago too. This guy is 1700 bucks richer. I can hold out just on tax return money without a job for 3 months. But obviously, I won't. I'll be getting the call for new hire training any day now. I couldn't be more excited!
As for my girl situation, there is no girl situation. I'm fine with that. I do better on my own obviously. Having someone else to worry about is just too much hassle now. I used to think different, but the truth is I don't want or need a girlfriend. I have a big year ahead of me, with a new job on the horizon and Best Man responsibilities that I must take care of. Not to mention, deciding if I want to stay at this apartment or go. It's a nice area so I might stay, but it depends on my roommate, who I hope leaves, so that would make my decision 100 times easier. Plus, someone's always looking for a roommate.
Tonight, my plans are to meet up with @GreekPhysique at Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the NBA All-Star Game. Should be fun. Pics will be posted!

Looking forward to it! See you in a while.
Congrats on the new job opportunity! Sounds like a sweet deal. And don't worry about relationships, get your career on the right path and everything fall into place later.
@GenuineBByDoll - I am not even worried about things falling into place relationship wise. I honestly just don't care if I remain single for the rest of my life or not. I'm not the kind of person that needs someone else to be happy, you know? Things WILL fall into place for my career though. I'm excited about that.
