The Rat Race

Well, it's been a while since I last wrote. This time I have a reason almost as good as pure unadulterated laziness; I've been working. Actually working. The new job is great. My title is Project Coordinater slash Detailer. Keeps me busy, pays well, it's good honest work. I love it so far. Learning so much stuff but strangely, I feel as if my overpaid college education ACTUALLY served me for something other than to spend three years living the good life.

Speaking of, just talked to the Bear (No I'm not technically reading Timeline, but I got sad after talking to you and needed to vent) and it was awesome to hear things were going well. Keep on sailing those seas, Polar Bear. There's an iceberg with your name on it.

But even though it was great talking to my old friend, I found I was morose after. This job is sapping my social time. I'm pretty much skrewed for finding that special someone unless one happens upon the same pub as me on my precious precious weekends. But once the friends go to college, where am I to go on those days? Solo pubbing? Hell no. Clubbing? Without the Wing Team, it's just no fun.

Duck Internet dating (I've been T9ing and they don't have swear words. I've had to improvise...), it's worth shite. Unless you're in Ottawa. And unless you're actually attractive. And unless you're a girl. I'd probably meet more women if I posed as a lesbian... Hmmm...

It works for some people, it sucks for others. We all move on in the end right? Some of us actually have something to move on to.

So for now, I will enjoy the time I spend with my friends, I will cherish the time I spend talking to those further away. And I will hope that when the former is no longer an option, I will find something to fill the time slots... Something to keep the motor running...

Love is such a great and terrible thing. Huh. Kind of like The Wizard... P Bear you better read these things, I throw way too many nods to you for you to avoid it! Heh.

Now I'm actually going to go read Timeline, as I told her I was. I hope she can forgive me, but she brought it on. Hehe, just kidding, chum.
