My friend Sue (a sometimes lurker here) did a tarot card reading for me.
She said I’d be getting some job I enjoyed on the side to do for extra money (like some kind of writing/design freelance). That’s cool. I’m broke.
She said my blinders are off and therefore I could never look at someone the same way again (obviously YoYo Boy, and man is she right.)
The surprising thing is that she said I’d meet someone new in the next month or two, through family and friends, and he’d be older. I haven’t had a friend set me up on a date since I got fat, at least six years ago. And my family… when I am dating someone they find that so unbelievable they say I’m lying, so I don’t see them setting me up with anyone either. We’ll see how it plays out.
Today was my last day in the office. Monday I start my new job (at the same company) - Instructional Designer. I get to work 100 percent from home - yay!
I spent 2 years at that company doing training, and I’ll miss some people but man I’m glad to be moving on to something else!
My friend Elizabeth - our admin at work - sent me flowers last week and took me out to a VERY expensive steak dinner. It beat the most expensive dinner I’ve ever had by a $50 margin, easy. I’ll miss her the most.
My friend Dee, who I met at a previous job, sent me flowers at work today.
So I have two bouquets of flowers here at home. I’m so spoiled!
The admin Tiffany, who just got promoted herself, took me out to lunch too.
Funny - when I found out 9 days ago that I got the job, I called Yo Yo Boy right away. He never once asked me anything about it, or emailed me a congrats, nothing. He didn’t even care.
Yet all of these other people are so supportive. It really shows that Yo Yo Boy never even was a decent friend.
Have you met Spudgy? I think he is quite possibly the cutest dog ever whelped. His mom is some sort of marketing genius because she took an old Pom who likes to sleep sitting up and blows bubbles out of his nose, and made him a star.
I first ran across Spudgy on YouTube, but his website pics are the best. Especially “Spudgy’s Adventures”. Go check out the pics.
Now that Yo Yo Boy has reminded me what it’s like to be treated like I’m completely unimportant, it’s no wonder that this postcard is my favorite out of this week’s Post Secrets.
Men, if you want a girl to fall out of love with you very, very quickly, neglect her. Be sure to only call her when you’re returning her call, if that. Wait 3-5 days before answering her email, if you ever do. Make sure the email you finally send contains 1-2 short thoughts because she’s not even worth complete sentences. Make sure you NEVER pay attention to her on weekends, because that time is too valuable to be wasted on her.
But after treating her like this, don’t be surprised if she refuses to come over at the 11th hour when you’re horny.
… after six months of diligently checking job boards every day, applying for jobs, and checking your monster.com, careerbuilder.com, and indeed.com job alert emails every morning…
… getting to DELETE said emails without even opening them because you ALREADY HAVE YOUR DREAM JOB!
(And I guess now that happiness also includes using ellipses at an annoying frequency.)
I always wanted to get up close to a red panda. This girl must be on some sort of game show. She got to spend a lot of time with two baby red pandas. Here’s a minute or two of it. Prepare to get jealous and want the same cuteness!
