Not Much to Say, But I'm Still Here

Reading Matt's most recent post made me think. Like him, I just have not had much to say on this blog in recent times. Actually, the post frequency on both my blogs has slowed quite a bit. But...I'm not giving it up, as I still find it enjoyable to sit down and write on occasion.

Not much exciting going on in my life. I'm in the middle of my third week of unemployment, which sucks, but I press on. What else can I do, right? Definitely not where I wanted or expected to be right now. Cross your fingers for me that something will come along soon. In the meantime, I have a couple of trips coming up...something to look forward to.

Happy Birthday to Me

On Thursday, I turned 24.

On Friday. I was told that I am being let go from my job at the end of this week, Friday May 30.

What a great B-Day present huh?

Back to the drawing board.

Today's Humor

Today while at work, another coworker looked at our clearly and openly gay student worker and said:

"S, you need a girl."

Which of course was followed by some chuckling after she walked away. Apparently her gaydar needs a little tuning.

Out at Work?-Part II

I am officially out to the student worker.

Why did I lay my cards on the table?

I'm with this kid a lot. He works almost as much in a given week as our full time staff...30 hours or sometimes more. When you're around a person so much, and in such close proximity, you talk a lot. And this guy asks lots of questions...about my family, friends, social activities, blogs...you name it.

Yes, I could just refuse to discuss my personal life. But this is not just a student off the street...he's as much a coworker and friend as anything. And he'd likely have put the pieces together by now anyway. So, for better or worse, I told him.

And you know what? It felt good.
