The Quarter Life Chronicles

 

I'm feeling quite a bit better now...just bummed that the weekend flew by so quickly and come tomorrow morning it's back to work.  But I will deal (and yes, I am working the Holiday-so no break for me).

Thursday didn't start out too well...not only did I realize that my paycheck was missing (which thankfully is safe and sound now)...but my car decided to breakdown.  Luckily it gave me enough warning so that I was able to turn around and go home before I got stranded at the side of the road...so I had to borrow a car and was late to work.  I was pretty bummed out and not quite looking forward to the weekend. 

Things did start looking up though, thankfully.  I was referred to a guy that works on cars by a coworker and he was able to look at my car Thursday night and fixed it on Friday.  My lost check was returned by a honest and kind individual.

Friday wasn't a bad work day.  After a week of almost constant stress it was a fairly stress free day and I actually had a bit of down time.  Things got sort of interesting right before I left however when a coworker approached me with the news that a fellow coworker wanted to ask me out on a date-but he was too shy to ask me himself.  Interesting.  I had honestly never considered the thought, but I agreed to the date. 

My mother arrived without any problems and we had a nice visit.  The trip in the city to the Christmas Show at Radio City Music Hall was a success and we all enjoyed the show immensely.  The only downside was that it was FREEZING this weekend...much colder than the average temps for this time a year.

Today my mom and I went out to breakfast and she headed home.  I came back here and not long after my phone rang...it was the coworker wanting to know if I wanted to do something today.  EVen though I was kind of tired I agreed and we decided to go for lunch, and from there we went to go see Changeling which was very good, though, quite sad.

There was no sparks on the date, but I did enjoy his company and so I hope that if anything, we'll become friends.

I am sorry that there were no sparks on your date. Friends are good, too. I know the right guy is out there. Be patient.

Well car troubles aside I'm glad that most of your weekend was nice :) Cars are just evil, aren't they? I think they cost more money than is healthy ;)

Wow. Sounds like quite the weekend! Good to know you could get your car fixed so quickly. It's usually such a hassle.
Here's wishing you a stress-free week. :)

If all you get out of it is a new friend then that's a pretty good thing. :o)

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that there were no sparks but glad to hear that you had the chance to go out and perhaps make a new friend.

Glad to hear that the car was easily repaired, too!

As for being cold - boy, have you got that right! Is it November or January?!?

Crap. I thought "Changeling" was a horror movie.

It sounds like things have been all over the place for you. I hope you find some middle ground. :)

You're the only one I know who has actually seen the Radio City Christmas Show AT Radio City Musical Hall. We Midwesterners have to settle for the traveling company. I am jealous.

I'm glad things are looking up. I wonder, is the coworker who called you one of them that was giving you a hard time before?

Car troubles are annoying. I've had my share recently and I sincerely it doesn't happen for a very long time.

it was good that you got the car fixed.. did you find out what the problem was?

hey a date with a co-worker.. that must have been very surprising.. sometimes when you least expect it.. someone shows interest and it might be good to try for a second date...

I'm happy for you that things improved after the car issue. I've alway wanted to see the Christmas Show with the Rockettes even though I doin't really like Christmas... I know the Rockettes are just amazingly precise. I'd love to see that in person.
