UGGGGH…. Everything is just happening all at once & who has time to
write it down these days, amIrite? But I’m
going to try anyway, because blogging is a good way to let people know I haven’t
died yet.
WORK UPDATES: I try never to talk specifically about work
& my job / career for fear of them finding this blog & using it against
me, but I feel like I can say without fear of repercussion that work has generally
sucked ass for the past month and a half.
People have been let go (again!), leaving those of us who remain to pick
up the pieces, lowering morale and essentially making me wonder why I’m still
here.
I know I say that all the time, but I think I really mean it now.
Essentially, the only reason I am staying now is my commitment to my boss
– who is honestly the best boss I’ve ever had (and I’ve worked for my mom). If I ever become ‘management,’ I plan to
model my philosophy after hers as best as I can.
The only glimmer of ‘light at the end of the tunnel of suck’ is that some
of the higher-ups recognize the hard work that I put in & are seeing the
value that I contribute to the company. I
also got a couple minutes of ‘face time’ with some high-rankers in my
department and it feels like they are considering me for bigger and better
things. And while that’s great, I’m not
exactly sure how much I can count on that for anything.
SOCIAL LIFE UPDATES: In the few hours that I haven’t been slaving
away at my job, I’ve been ‘putting myself out there’ by going to more social events
– MOST of them gay-related (some are not): One has been gay “country” dancing
at Oil Can Harry’s & another has been attending events put on by this meet-up
group called “Gay Board Gaymers”. My
friend, Ryan, referred them to me & they’re a pretty fun group if I do say
so myself!
I even managed to meet a really cute guy there!
We’ve been dating now for about a month & have been taking things
kinda slowly because of major life events - he had to help his mom move to the
Phillipines last month – so we’re still figuring out the ‘dating’ routine of
how often we see each other and stuff. But
I totally like him: he’s smart, funny, nice…..all those incredibly ATTRACTIVE
qualities that one looks for in a great boyfriend (he says, wondering if said
boy is reading this)
…..and he’s a total SEXY nerd, too!
He even took me to a legit comic convention called Bent Con: it’s catered
towards the LGBT community & it was totally amazing! I had no idea that this con even existed (or
was so close to where I live)! So I have
him to thank for introducing me to all this.
I’m trying my best to be cool & not overthink / expect too much out
of him & this, but I feel really good about him. HAPPY FACES ALL AROUND!
OTHER STUFF UPDATES: Going back to Hawaii
