judecorp: (coming home)

After a stressful day at the new job, so stressful that I may return the phone call of a woman at Directions for Youth who called me about a job today, I went to kickboxing to find that I was the only person there. I learned how to block an attacker with a bat tonight, which was interesting, but my knee popped hardcore doing a jumping side kick (which I entirely suck at, but that's beside the point) and hasn't been quite right since. Maybe tomorrow. However, my turning side kicks are much better. Yay.

I have to choose whether I want to work in the evenings or the days. And I need to choose by tomorrow. There are benefits of both, really, but I like the idea of working at noon. I think I'm going to keep things as is and try to scam Fridays from 8-4 so that I can have off from Friday at 4 until Monday at 12. That would rock.

After kickboxing, I went to the home of Jeff, my former Stonewall boss, for froo froo frozen blueberry concoctions, of which I drank slightly too much. We caught up on quite a bit, especially since we were supposed to get together a year ago when he moved into his house, but better late than never, right? I thought so.

My Jennifer called me while I was at Jeff's (just after American Idol, which I had never seen. Interesting.) and so of course I had to go. I did the same thing when she called on Sunday, because I was watching State and Main with Steve. I hate telling her I'm too busy because while she's still at camp, I can't call her back. She's going to call me tomorrow and I'll be damned if I have to miss that call.

I just really miss her. I know that I shouldn't because we both decided this was all the best for everyone involved, and I thoroughly and totally believe it, too. It was very easy and right to tell Jeff that I wasn't seeing anyone and that I was happy with that. But my gods, I miss her. I miss being able to talk to her when I want to, and I hate that it's been 3 months since I've seen her in front of me.

I don't like the idea that she will live somewhere that I will have to fly to in order to see her, because I don't get vacation days for 6 months (ugh - what am I going to do about Christmas with the family?). I don't like the idea that it will mean that I will see her very little. I want her to be available to me by phone, and by car. *sigh* I shouldn't even be typing this - the whole tipsy whining is terribly selfish and I ought to shut up. So I will.

I remembered to pay my rent on the way home from Jeff's. Score one for me. I can't wait to get paid, finally. I bow to the gods of the paycheck! And I think I'm fighting some sort of cold or allergies. I hate that scratchy throat feeling. :(

Okay .. 2 questions.

1) Did you like American Idol? I'm addicted.

2) Can fatasses join kickboxing? I am so not in shape, but I need SOMETHING special to get into because of personal shit or whatever.

1. Honestly, I didn't really see what the point of the show was, although I agree that Kelly can certainly sing. But maybe I'm missing the point. I don't really like those "vote off" shows. *shrug*

2. I suppose it all depends on your personal mobility. I am certain there is some sort of martial arts and/or aerobic exercise program that can work for you. :)

I was under the impression that the new place of employment was Christain based... this would imply large levels of "I want to be home for Christmas" understanding I'd think.

Inquire.

Well yes, I plan to. And since Christmas Eve and Christmas are on a Tuesday and Wednesday, you would think they would let me take a day, unpaid if I had to, so that I could go home and see my family.

Still, that would mean I'd have to use a precious personal day. Sucktastic.

No vacation for 6 months? What's up with that?

My first job did that to me -- I started at the end of July, and I had Christmas off but no vacation around the holiday. I didn't mind as much, but my family's local, so I'm the spoiled one there.

If nothing else works, you'd be welcome here, y'know. :-)

As to the tipsy ramblings: *hug*

I need to find closer Thanksgiving plans, since I only have Thursday off. Too far to Pittsburgh, but thanks for the Christmas offer. I just might take you up on that if things go poorly.

Smooches.
