Lots have happened in the last few weeks, good things and other not so good but that's life..
Work's going well but for the first time in my life I have a coworker I just can't get along with.
This person seems to get under my skin and irritate me more than anyone ever have..and I just dislike people that is slacking at work and don't care about doing the jobs while just being ignorant.
I thought I could get along with almost anyone but I guess I was proven wrong and now I have to be polite and deal with it all..
The dating life sucks..been on a few dates but none I would like to see again, so I better stick to friends and live my life without dealing with men that just aren't my type at all. If I guy's too stingy to even buy you a cup of hot cocoa then he's not a gentleman in my mind...first impression means a lot, and then on top of that showing up with your motorcycle jacket while getting too close too you while talking to you. I do need my personal space when I meet someone the first time, too much to ask for?
Then it was the guy with a shirt that tight that you could see everything that wasn't a six-pack...not that I'm skinny myself but you do want to show the best parts of yourself and not the worst, he he..
On top of that a guy get's offended when you don't invite him to your place late at night to watch movies after he walks you home...needless to say he won't hear from me again..
I also have a friend that always wants to introduce me to men here in Oslo. Once she heard that someone she knows has some problems and needed to talk she suggested he calls me, the good listener. He did call and wanted to meet up as soon as possible and I agreed even though it gave me a funny feeling when I could tell something was off with him. I agreed to meet him and he insisted on having dinner...for him to stand me up. I waited out of courtesy for 30 minutes and the guy never even sent me a SMS to let me know he had changed his mind or whatever...and I was doing this stranger a favor and he didn't even show up..some people are weird, but what goes around comes around...
Nowadays I'm waiting for answers to see if I get into college this fall. Not having a full-time jobs for the next 3 years is pretty scary when you're used to always making money, but knowledge is more important than money..at least for now.
The most impressive thing I've seen in the last few weeks was my friend's landlord's garage with 13 antique cars and I believe it was 21 motorcycles..damn was that a museum or what? I didn't believe it when I heard about it and felt like I walked back into the past...
I do believe it's always good to get impressed in many ways..it opens your eyes somehow :-)
Friday the 13th came around...a day that most people are superstitious about..and nothing bad happened this time either, at least not to me..
I had a good day at work and came home to find a package from a New Your waiting for me...with a big order from Old Navy, spicy popcorn, spices and a new MagicJack..that sure saved my weekend from a total disaster...then I knew I could face any disappointment..
I went out for the monthly pub night with New To Oslo...only to have to wait for the rain to stop.
I don't go out as much as a could but like to be able to speak English and meet new people.
Sleeping out on Saturday was good and spent the rest of the day walking around the city enjoying the nice weather after about 2 weeks of mostly rainy days...having free Ben & Jerry ice cream scoops, capturing a butterfly up close, having breakfast/lunch/dinner combo at TGI Fridays, shopped for a fan and got to see how excited someone can get when they finally find a long searched for green Fanta and knowing it may have made his month...LOL..
Now my laundry is done, organized old photos into iPhoto and watched enough TV so it's time to get some zzzz..
"Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others."
A note to myself: I need to be a little more selfish because certain actions of mine seem to drain me..."treat people they way you want other to treat you" don't always pay off..
Am I meant to care more about other people than myself? Once in a while it would be nice to be appreciated for what you do..so your kindness isn't taken for granted...
