My, My It Certainly Has Been a While

But you haven't missed much my friend. There have been two vacations that I haven't updated you on. I don't think I ever went in to detail on the wedding/Disney vacation. Then there was the New Hampshire/Boston vacation a couple weeks ago. I'll go in to detail on those next time I get bored or something. The most important development is that I have started a new job. I work for an asset management company. The part that I am in is a subcontractor of Schering. My boss is great and its really close to home. But that is about the only thing I like about it. It is not the simple administrative type of position I was looking for. My main duty is tracking lab equipment covered under our program. My boss tells me that it will be more than that, but I have yet to experience any of it first hand. And I'm not really sure I want to. This just isn't what I pictured for myself. The hardest part is, though, that I don't know what I pictured for myself, really. Last week I was so close to quitting. But I talked to my boss about it and I was swayed. Then I got a call from one of the agencies I had been working with about a position available on the other side of town -a lot closer to what I wanted. More correspondence than spreadsheets. The biggest turn off about the job I have now is the treveling. I don't mind traveling. I mind business trips. A lot. And the more I hope for this other job, the more I find myself disliking and wanting out of the one I'm in. Which brings me to my actual dilemma. If I don't get this new job, do I stay where I am or quit and start looking again. I'm leaning towards the latter. Which I'm dreading. I just don't know what the right decision is. Which is why I am praying for this other job to come through -so the decision will be made for me. If not, I'll have to bite the bullet, one way or another.
Other than that, everything is good, everything is quiet. Things with my friends are finally back to normal. I found that balance. Except that I've been so lazy for the last couple weeks. I haven't wanted to do anything. I go to Hoboken one or two nights right after work. But on the days that I don't, I really have no drive to go see any of my friends. Rosa is far. I have trouble going to Chris's right now because I can't smoke pot (and going to Chris's while you can't smoke pot is like going to a diner or out drinking while your trying to quit smoking), and I haven't really been in the mood for Jenn (although that is fading away -or I'm at least meeting my quota). And on the weekend I wait around (willingly and satisfied, which is the weird part) until he gets out of work, go out for an hour or so with him, and go to bed. For a while I was getting away with it because I was broke but now i have no excuse except for laziness. But I'm excited about this week. Tonight I'm going to Chris's for the Gilmore Girls season premiere, and maybe to Jenn's after. Tomorrow is Hoboken. Thursday I made plans with Rosa and he is sleeping over because he has an early meeting. And Friday we're going to Happy Hour for Charlie, the owner's birthday, which will work out really well because he'll get a ride home and when he does, I can leave right from Newark to go to Hoboken. Which means going out with my girls and still seeing him without having to drive around the state. Hooray. I work so much better with plans.
And finally, as usual, my boyfriend is wonderful. I have fallen more in love with him as time has gone on. And it is sinking in that he loves me just as much. The Hoboken thing isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be -we've found a pretty good system which is only going to get better since our little tiff last weekend about one on one time. It still amazes me that someone, let alone my boyfriend, treats me so well. He says and does all the right things. I can see our friendship developing, which is just cool. We past three months. We work. Relationships are hard work, he tells me, but we are good at working at ours. He works well with me and I with him. And we have fun, we enjoy each other. I really like being in love.
Thats all for now; its good to be back.
