So that makes us friends right?

  Good eve to all.  Not much going on.  Still  on the temp job, but it will be over before the end of the week.  I still haven’t found a regular job.  I don’t remember if I mentioned this but there’s a sort of job offer hanging in the near future.  At the church we attend we’ve gotten to talking to a few people that sit near us.  Just basic small talk before and after the mass.  Anyway, one of the people knew from an earlier talk that I did data entry.

  His brother-in-law works for UPS and is in charge of this new post being set up here with UPS and US Customs.  If everything goes right, they’ll set up starting in Feb. and will need data entry keyers for all the shipping info.  Well, he mentioned to his brother-in-law that I work in medical data entry.  In medical data entry you have to be both fast and accurate, so he asked if, with everything going as plan, I wanted a job with them.

  I said yes and we’ve talked back and forth whenever the brother-in-law comes to attend at our regular mass.  He sometimes goes to another church, so I don’t see him every week.  But so far things seem to be progressing okay.  If I can get the job, I’ll be one of the first people starting at a brand new department, so there’s room for quick advancement and I keep hearing from people that UPS pays well and gives benefits, so it sounds like it would be good thing.  Its just that I’m not feeling comfortable about this job until it gets to the point where I’m filling out paperwork.  I’m trying not to hope too hard, I guess is what I’m saying. 

  But at the same time I really need this.  I don’t know what I’m doing and having some sort of direction would be good right now.

  I went on a date earlier tonight.  It was okay, we talked for awhile and then went to a movie.  We saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie.  She seemed nice, but there didn’t seem to be any sparks or chemistry.  She didn’t seem very interested either, so I don’t know if we’ll go out again.

  There’s another girl that I’m in a sort of friends with benefits relationship, but sometimes I’m not sure what to make of it.  She was born and raised in Mexico, she got her citizenship here later.  So, we have very different backgrounds and her first language is Spanish.  Longtime readers will probably remember that despite my being Hispanic, I learned English as my native language and I never was able to get the hang of Spanish.  So, while she does speak English, you can tell she’s not totally fluent.  So, sometimes there has been sort of a language barrier.

  Also, she’s a couple of years older than me, has been married and divorced, but is still kind of sexually repressed.  Until we got together she had never had a guy perform oral sex on her.  I’m used to women that are more sexually open I guess.  So sometimes it creates more drama than I want to really deal with.  So sometimes I’m not sure how this is going to go.  At the same time I’m tired of being lonely.  We’ve talked and we’re both on the same page about just being friends with benefits.  Sometimes I just wonder if that’s really all she wants.

  I guess that’s all that’s really been going on.  Good eve to all.
