Notification

Well, my boss finally came through and let everyone know I was leaving. There was shock. There were tears. I had a lot of people saying that the company would basically fall apart without me. I highly doubt that.

The company I'm going to work for is 'drug free' -- which means I had to go take a urine test. I'm not very good at tests and I didn't have a chance to study. I still think I aced it. I was a little nervous that I couldn't, uh... 'perform' when my name was called but I did okay.

Okay, so the company got their e-mail that I was leaving so I went ahead and let my family know what was going on. Got an 'attaboy' note from my sister. My parents were pleasantly surprised and asked me 'what took so long?'

I have to tell you, for some reason when I was driving back from the clinic I felt like a million bucks. I felt bullet-proof. The funny thing is: I don't know why.

Want to hear the most encouraging words? L-girl says the only good that can come of this is that we'll no longer be co-workers. You see, that's been her hang-up with me -- why we couldn't "get together". She didn't want all that awkward silliness. The good thing is that she pointed that out to me. I think there's a part of her that's thinking about me. Not that we're right for each other in the long run, I just feel very comfortable with her and I'd like to take it to a more intimate level. Why can't women just let it be sex?

Getting back to the point: I'll be leaving my current position on the 14th of this month. I'll then be leaving for about a week on a family reunion. When I return, I'll be starting my new job. It almost seems surreal... like it's a dream I'm walking through.

You're all on notification.

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

Thanks, giving, and the weekend

Seems like anything that goes on in my life happens over the weekend. I had another date on Saturday. The one word to describe this woman is “wacky”. I think she was trying too hard to be light and funny but it almost bordered on the disturbing. This is sort of what she looked like. Her hair was a little curlier. We ended up having a lengthy talk about movies (no surprise, her favorite movie genre is ‘comedy’), which wouldn’t be bad, but I kept wanting to move on and she kept droning on about movies. I swear we talked about movies for half an hour – which is a LONG time to be talking about something on which neither participant agrees. Next came music. Okay, now I can talk about some music. Here again, we didn’t really agree but we didn’t discuss this for a very long time (something I was ready to do). I think it was pretty clear early on that we weren’t going to work out… there were too many lulls in the conversation. I don’t know about her, but I had to work hard to come up with topi...

Another Run

Well, after my last successful date, I figured we ought to try it again. In fact, at the first date I told her that it wasn’t up for debate – that we WOULD go out again. And we did. It was the Saturday following the first date. She had been out with a friend of hers on Friday night and they must have gotten a little wild with the drinks because she appeared to be “hurtin’” come date-night. I suggested a couple of places and we settled on a laid-back little place where we could just hang out and talk. Before we get to the date, I have to explain what I was doing beforehand. Superman had invited me to a corporate function of his wife’s work. It was given a renaissance theme. That was fine but the woman who was doing the announcements had a very screechy voice… AND she was amplified… AND she was yelling. We ate the obligatory hot dog and hamburger and generally made our presence known – then got the hell out of dodge. I think if it wasn’t for the screeching woman we would have stayed long...
