I quit.

Two things that I am quitting: Job searching and match.com

Ironic isn't it, that both of these were featured in my last post. I have accepted the offer from 4C and will start as their statistician on Tuesday. (Well, to start the paperwork anyway.) Then the joy of drug testing and finding out more about my actual job. I don't know much about it, but it seemed very interesting and rewarding. Doing it for the kiddos!!

Match.com is now officially a bust. My second date was almost as bad as the first. (Both were first dates with different guys.) Here are the highlights of the last misadventure. He tried to break the "touch barrier". He hugged me when he arrived, touch my arm across the booth while telling a joke, held one of my hands and then tried to hold both hands..... before the appetizers arrived.

I found out all about him. His family, sister, how many times she has been married, the four states he lived in and the fifth that his parents now live in, the two colleges he attended and where his new house is located (and the cost). He asked about and found out that I..... nothing. He only asked what I looked for in a guy. In an effort to lighten the mood, I said someone who has all of their teeth (thank you mama.) He followed up by asking for something not physical. He never inquired about my job, house, family, life, NOTHING!!! All he could do was answer my questions and let me know that he was better than my last date. Oh, and he talked about our future dates. Note to self: secure second date before discussing where we will go. I have E call and bail me out by saying she had a bad day at work. I have no shame and no guilt.

Creepy. Creepier. And I am not waiting around for Creepiest. I have been contacting a guy and will endeavor to meet him in the hopes that he is not creepy. However, I have little hope.

You got the job, yay!!! That is great news. :) Sorry about the train of creeps. :( Look at how moody you are making me! >:(

Good luck with the job.
New career paths also lead to new professional and sometimes personal relationships. Also - find yourself a fun, friendly church and get involved. Both avenues will be much more rewarding than match.com. In my humble (and unsolicited) opinion.

Hey ~ We'll have to talk about April. Hopefully I'll have an itinerary soon. Seeing me will now probably involve 150 of our closest high school band geek-friends. I'm now on a free trip, meaning I'm an official sponsor and will be hangin' with the band. Yippee.

Maybe one woman's creepiest is another woman's ?, or never mind... this may be the first chapter of a best selling book!! But no one would believe it. Well, I think it was a great day because you got a job! I remember Angie saying just when you give up MR RIGHT comes along- without match.com.
