Busy Week
It’s been a bit hectic this week at work. For some reason, there’s been lots of fights between the inmates. They also decided to put me in what is known as a "key position" which means I assist in running the unit. I know it’s supposed to be an honor, and I do it to the best of my ability, but I’ve been in charge before and it’s not always what it’s cracked up to be, lol. This is now one of three key positions I’m assigned to. Makes it a bit hectic by the end of my week but at least they have faith in my ability to get things done correctly.
A woman in one of the non uniform departments asked me out today. I find that kind of mind-blowing, I’m 52 years old, and NOW I’m a catch? Lose a little weight and suddenly I’m irresistable. It does amaze me that appearance seems to make such a big difference in the way people treat you though. Not that I’m not incredibly flattered because I am, but I have a policy against dating coworkers. I did that once many years ago, and it was a disaster. It ended badly, and we spent the next the next three years working alongside each other. Not sure I want to chance that kind of situation again especially since I don’t want any kind of relationship right now. I’ll wait until the swelling in my ego goes down to think about it in more detail. At least I’ve grown wise enough over the years not to rush in too quickly. We’ll see
Since I have to work tomorrow, Brian spent the night at the fire department and is working there tomorrow until I get off. That way he won’t be stuck at home alone and bored all day.
Still no word from Brad, but I don’t expect to hear anything from him for a while yet. He’s still angry and I don’t expect that to change for some time, or until he runs out of other options and needs to try to come home again. That’s okay, I’m finding that each day it’s a little easier ‘to leave it in God’s hands where it belongs now.
Not really much new to write about, so I’m going to bed a little early and try to catch up on lost sleep from the last few nights. Take care.
I don’t know you or anything but from my point of view I would rethink the whole taking your time thing…I’m just slightly older than you and feel like time is flying by, so if you find someone who appreciates you, at least give it a chance, I’m not saying dive in head first but what does a coffee or dinner hurt?? Just a thought. 🙂 Be well and stay safe, That is a dangerous job!

Good for your ego? Why not just go out for a drink with her as a friend?

OH, I think it would boost my ego a little bit as well. It always makes us feel good when someone shows interest in us. If you don’t want a relationship right now let the person know that but let them know your up for dinner and conversation or a cup of coffee…that way you don’t close all your doors. I am glad about your “key positions”. Maybe they are looking to move you up into moreof a management position so you wouldn’t have to be on the floor all the time…and maybe a little further away from the danger. Sorry there is still no word from Brad….maybe that is a good thing, though. Maybe he is straightening up and decided that responsibility is the way to go (we can all dream cant we?? 🙂 Big Hugs to you and hope for a great weekend and wonderful week ahead.

I’d say that thinking it thru is a good idea, but I wouldn’t agree about a total ban on the co-worker thing. I’ve seen the rough ones like you said, but I’ve seen many that have been quite a blessing, too.
