November 10, 2005 - FINALLY!
Wow it's been a long time since the last post, hopefully it will not happen again!
Jim and I have Adelphia cable/internet and they have this stupid policy that if you have their internet service and happen to log into their website for whatever reason, it activates a "paperless bill" option so all bills are emailed to you rather than thru the regular snail mail automatically without informing the user it has happened. Jim, like most people, ignore most emails from people claiming to be organizations like Adelphia, eBay and Paypal, as many of them are spam and hackers trying to get you info; so he just would ignore the emails and we ended up getting our cable/internet cut off around November 1st. Even though the full $300 something bill was paid off the first week of this month, Adelphia decided that we could wait until last night to restore service. I would have done a post then, but I was awash in older emails pretty much the entire night. So, as a warning to all Adelphia users who may or may not be reading this, if you EVER log onto the Adelphia website and see no bills have arrived get back on their and disable that accursed option!
On other fronts, work has been bad to alright. My life has gotten a bit of unneeded drama lately. A lady I asked out last fall has quit her job and moved to Hawaii about 2 weeks ago. We worked together for about a year and half, but after I asked her out, we didn't talk for a few weeks. She is quite a bit older than I (mid 50's), but she was a real firecracker physically. She was also a bit of a religious freak that no one else at our place of employment cared to try to get to know. Leshia* and I patched up whatever friendship we may have had in the last weeks she was here in the Pine Tree state. I think asking her out was also an attempt to let her know that not everyone at work thought she was 'different.'
Of course, my luck has a way of getting bad and then repeating itself, so the exact same thing is happening with another girl at work. I've been trying to get over a death that has occurred very recently (August)... so I asked Mel* out a few weeks ago, but unlike Leshia, Mel and I didn't know each other for very long at all and Mel is younger than I (20). Mel made some excuse about not wanting to get involved with any guy as she had plans of moving out to Arizona and besides she said she had a policy about only wanting to date men she knew for a while. What sucks about this (one thing of many) is that Mel and I could have been friends but that was poisoned and she never felt comfortable around me after that and only within the last month or so will actually speak with me. Another thing that hurts more than sucks is that a few days ago I found out she has just entered into a romantic relationship with some guy she really didn't know. Rule #1 for me is that if I ask a woman out and for any reason they lie about why they reject me, I NEVER forgive them! This is all a moot point though as Mel's grandparents in some other state need help and Mel has put in her 2 weeks notice so she can live with them. I regret that she is leaving as I would have liked to TRY to have a friendship, but that will never, and I honestly don't think it could, ever happen.
There are plenty of other fish in the water though, for example there is another co-worker named Dee. Dee* is younger than I with flame red hair. I was never attracted to her, in fact I couldn't stand her for quite a while! She is 20 and has a daughter that she conceived with her former boyfriend. The reason for the kid as explained to me was that she felt it gave her relationship with this guy a sense of permanence; needless to say the pair split. Dee is... well... she's not always the sharpest knife in the drawer. She tries and she does mean well, and sometimes I think I can see some honest to god raw potential in her. Anyhow, a few weeks I was moved into her general vicinity and now she and I have communicate a bit more than ever before. The more I look at her the more I do see that she IS attractive.
Due to my misadventures with Leshia and Mel, I think I'm going to keep this thing a secret. I am already doing that with another co-worker named Tess*. Tess and her sister work with me and Tess was in a really hot and heavy and very complicated relationship with a guy that ended earlier this year. Tess and I have an acquaintanceship that I am reluctant to lose in some naive attempt to take things to a level it can never achieve. Tess is... wow... She's beautiful. In another life she could have been a model and can do far better than I. Her last boyfriend was this tall strapping guy who looked in a sense like Tom Welling from Smallville. I would be a downgrade to major I fear. Besides, she trusts me and I would rather not loose that.
I'll post again pretty soon (I hope)!
