Tell Me a Time when...

I had my second round of interviews today. I went in initially nervous as expected, but soon realized that this will best set of interviews I have ever been on. I was only expecting to interview with 1 person but was soon told that I would be interviewing with 3. I had to fill out a paper application that literally took me over an hour. It asked the same damn questions over and over again. What jobs have you held in the past 7 years? What are your past addresses? I literally answered those questions probably 3 times. Finally my interviews came around and each one couldnt have went any better. I showed them my true personality and told them the real reasons I am trying to find another job. I explained my expectations of the job I would like and in turn they told me what they would have expected from the person receiving this job. They didnt ask me to explain a situation in which I was a leader or when I was in a complex project and how did I finish it. It was all very laid back and they explained the job, and I simply asked questions. Easy.

After it was all said and done the last guy showed me where my office would be. It was a corner office with huge windows overlooking the entire city!! After seeing that I knew I wold have to get this job. I should hear back from them in about two weeks. I will keep everyone posted.

He Looooves Me!

Its been about a week since my last posting. I apologize I have been out of the office for more useless training. So I have some good news. Well good news for me anyways. Last weekends my boyfriend told me that he is in love with me!! I definitely wasnt expecting it either. Actually after he said it, I actually poorly set the mood by telling him that he was lying. Well apparently what he said is true. Yay for me. It was a nice moment. We were laying in his bed canoodling like two little gay boys when he dropped the bomb. It was great.

It is definitely nice to know that we are now on the same page. I was definitely feeling as if my feelings for him were way too strong. And it sucks to like someone or in my case love someone when they dont feel that same connection. But knowing we feel the same way about each other is a good comforting feeling.

The next day we talked about the whole love thing, and he said that he was scared to have these feelings because every time he has felt this way he got hurt in the end.

Although I cannot promise our relationship will be forever, but what I can promise is that I would never hurt him the way others in his past have.

Blow Hard!

It is the boyfriends birthday today. He turns a big whopping 27. He is now 5 years older than I am. Sad. Makes me feel too young. I wanted to plan a big ol birthday bash for him, and he was against it from the beginning. So he invited a group of his friends out for dinner and drinks and 15 people will be attending. A nice turnout in my eyes. I wanted to get a bday cake for him and he made it very clear that he doesnt want one. Poo on him.

Tomorrow it will be a day for just him and I. I was planning on taking him to the Pittsburgh Aviary because they are currently doing some sort of program where you pay so much money and then you can play with the penguins. I was very excited for this because it is something I thought we could both enjoy. Well I found out that you have to make arrangements 3 weeks in advance. Which I didnt do. So now I have nothing to do for him but take him to dinner.

I cant think of anything else to write.

Have a great weekend!

I know...He is Hot!

I try to keep up with reading all of my favorite blogs everyday. It is hard sometimes because it is very time consuming. The only time I am able to do this is when I am at work though due to my lack of internet at my house cause I am cheap. While I was cruising the blogs today, I came across a picture of a boy on Closet Frat Boy's page that looks so much like my bf that I had to do a double take to make sure it wasnt him lounging in his underwear. I have always debated putting a picture up of myself. I sort of like being this gay mystery man. At the same time I always like to put a face to a name or blog for that matter. I make up up faces in my head of what each of my bloggers look like. Its fun. So for now I will remain hidden behind my computer screen. But I will show you the picture of my bf look-a-like.

What the Hell...No Gay Jokes?

I am finally back at work and blogging after being absent for 5 days. It was a well needed break away from work. I am finally back in the grind of staring at my computer for 8 hours. My Thanksgiving break went pretty well. I was at my parents house for 3 days. Probably 2 days too long for my own taste. It was pretty boring for the most part. I have fallen out of touch with most of my friends from high school therefore I didnt hang out with any of my old buddies like I normally would have. Therefore I was stuck at home the entire time. My parents dont have much money and can afford only to live minimally. There house is very small so anytime any noise is made, it can be heard throughout the entire house. I slept in my little brothers room, on a bunk bed that squeeks anytime you move a finger or your heart beats.

Normally my brothers whom are all pretty young being 15 and younger like to team up and make fun of me. Usually it starts off by them telling me I smell then if luck is on my side, they remind me that I like to kiss boys. And I do. Alot. I have never had a conversation with them about my homosexuality. They are far to young to swallow that fact that their brother, well, swallows. But only if I like you. But they are too young to really understand. By them telling me that I am gay and that I kiss boys *if they only knew what I else I do to boys!*, I know that my parents have to talk about it when I am not around. I can only hope that when they do talk about the gay son that they do so in a positive manner as my little brothers are obviously listening. On a better note though, they didnt make any gay references to me for the 3 days that I was there. I was shocked and a little relieved. It always makes me feel a little uncomfortable when they do.

My mom asked about my boyfriend alot while I was there. I appreciate her interest in this aspect of my life. Although she still refers to him only as my friend because she just cant muster up the courage to actually say my boyfriend. Its ok though. Babysteps.

Lick that Turkey Bone

I am driving up to my parents house today after I drop the bf off at the airport so he can see his parents. I plan on being at my parents house until Friday. By then I will be ready to pull out my hair because my 3 younger brothers ages 15, 11, and 7 will have driven me to the point of going loony. I am excited to hang out with my mom, my dog, and my friends from high school though. It will be nice to catch up with the friends I haven't talked to in over a year and also to see who has gotten fat.

I will probably not be able to blog until Monday or Tuesday because of this, so that's why I have been posting like a mad man to make sure you all have something to read. So I suggest reading one post a day so that will last you til next week.

Until then, Happy Thanksgiving!

Shoutout to Martha

I got an email from a lady I used to work with at GE yesterday. I always really enjoy her emails as she is witty and fun. Martha is an older lady probably in her 50s, had a positive attitude, and quite an affection for boxed wine. She was my savior while I worked there. I had a large corner cube in a very dark room, but luckily I got placed right next to her. She is a huge ball of energy and has been with GE since she was was in her 20s. Packed full of knowledge I knew she would have the answer to my endless questions. Not only did she answer all my questions but she always gave me great work advice. Some that I will never forget and that will prove to be beneficial to me until I retire.

I can only hope that I am as positive as her during that point in my life and career. She came to work everyday with a smile on her face and an attitude that everyone would enjoy. And on every Thursday she would come with a cake, cookies, or brownies in hand for the whole office to indulge in. She made work fun and you almost want to come into work the next day. I want to be that person who makes their day go a little easier.

Just think how much more happier would be if you were the person that they enjoy to work with. Make them laugh, fill them with knowledge, and encourage them to work hard. It all pays off in the end.

Thanks Martha.

Candy Coated Bullshit

I mentioned last week that I had an interview for a new job. Well I had my interview on Friday and although it wasn't amazing, it wasn't horrible either. I had a really bad cold then and still do. I called off of work that day so that don't infect everyone with my illness. My interview was just a phone interview at 11:40 in the morning. It started out well, but then my cough started to kick in followed by the sniffling. The interviewer could tell I was struggling. I could also tell she had a smidge of sympathy for me as well.

One thing that I was not to happy about was when she asked me what I knew about the company. Obviously this should have a been an easy question. However, every single job interview I have had before this, I have always done research on the company. I familiarized myself with their board members, stock prices, products, etc. But to this day I have never been asked what I knew about the company. Therefore I didn't do much research. None actually. I only knew one fact about that company and that was it. So naturally, I had to make up so much bullshit and make it sound intelligent. But I guess that is what job interviewing is all about anyways right?

I hate interviewing. It makes me sweaty and nervous. I am good at it but I still hate it.

I found out yesterday that I have moved to the next stage of interviews. I am not sure when that will be though. I will definitely remember to do some more research on this company.
