I guess yesterday's article made me organize my thoughts and think about the problem more thoroughly. Why I'm saying this is because yesterday evening, after I posted the article on Weebly, I met her and restarted the discussion about her friends.
I started joking about how Jack, one of my best friends I have a drink with every once in a while, was a wannabe alcoholic and how I'll make her walk home from her favorite restaurant if I can't drive. She laughed too. One thing lead to another and she said none of those problems are much of an issue to her, except maybe for the fact that I work a lot.
We had a lengthy discussion about me and my career goals. I told her again how I worked my ass off to get to this position and that I can't give it all up now. She seemed to understand it. Then an idea popped -- why don't I get her a job with my company? We don't have any open positions in the IT department as of now, but we might make room for her. I'll have my CTO review the department organization chart and come up with an idea. She seemed to love it, as she's not that happy with her current job.
So what brought be to better feelings? I must say I loosened up a bit after I read that article I mentioned yesterday on how to start a relationship. Well, I'm not in the position to date, but I read such materials every once in a while. That article was so well written that it made me re-analyze my standings. And since it has helped me, a guy who's been in a relationship for long, I bet it would do wonders for single guys out there.
Long story short, I'm viewing the relationship with a whole new different set of eyes after only one day. I was on the verge of considering breaking up with her yesterday as I was writing that post, and now I can see a bright future. Right now, I can't believe such thoughts have crossed my mind. I've heard it helps to organize your thoughts in writing, and I'm the living proof that it works. Putting your thoughts down can help you analyze ideas better, otherwise they are just some rambling thoughts that come and go.
I'm so glad I started this blog. The idea came from Jack.
I'm yet to share this blog with people I know in real life. I'm not even sure I will -- I might let it be my little secret. It would probably be nice to get feedback from total strangers, rather keep an eye out not to post something that might offend people around me. Anonymity seems nice, at least for now. I feel like I can write anything, tell anybody to f off, yank about my job, Julie or my family without worrying that I might hurt somebody's feelings. I'm not writing for money, so I don't need to build a reputation around my name.
