okay, so probably my dad is the only one who will reco that title and he doesn't read this, but it accurately describes my mood right now. holy hell i could not be more bored, and yes, i know i'm at home, but sitting in my house all day does not do me - a social creature - any favors. i don't have any work to do right now, so i'll update the ole blog-o.
1. Jenny and the Forceful Kisser
oh, that's right, it's time for another dating disaster. went out with coffee boy, also known as "molasses" about two weeks ago. it was date two, and although i was fairly bored with our emails after date one, i decided to give it a chance. bad idea. we went to "duplex" in uptown, which left me wanting to du-taco bell afterwards. they had the most bizarre menu: mexican inspired apps, thai soups, wonk salads, and italian entrees. yes, because that's what i want to eat; tacquitos with curry soup followed by (no lie) duck sloppy joes. instead i chose the spaghetti. didn't know it was possible f-up spaghetti, but they did.
dinner conversation was painful. not a lot to talk about, and when i tried asking more about his job, he actually got annoyed w/ me. gee, professor, sorry i don't understand the intricacies of pharm school applications.
but the real piece de la resistance came at the end of the evening. as we were leaving the restaurant he asked if i wanted to go out again - i was sort of non-commital. then he walked me to my car and leaned in to lay one on me. i very unsubtly swerved to the side for a hug only. and then...shudder...as i tried to pull back he held on and kissed me. blech! i mean i don't know what kind of idiot misses the implications of the "swerve to hug" but clearly he's just that kind of idiot. a few days later he emailed me to see if i wanted to go out again. um, NO was the answer.
2. Hmm, where will I work next?
so the latest on the work front is that i'm searching for my next assignment. boss man decided to offer the one trainer position to princess. his reasoning was b/c the travel was 100% but so far she hasn't heard that. 'course every time i try and talk to him about my next spot he acts like he's had the ipsos labotomy and pretends everythng is wonderful. anyhoo, there are two openings in mpls - one with a candy mfg and one with a popcorn mfg. i can only talk to one at a time, which i think is stupid since both clients have met several internal candidates and haven't liked any of them. that said i met with the candy client this week, and am still waiting to hear back.
personally i'm not sure what the hold up is. you either like me and want me to work with you or you don't. it's not like i'm the only candidate they've met - i'm pretty much one of the last - the bottom of the barrel, if you will. meanwhile i'll just sit home and fester about what the hell is taking them so long to debate.
hmm, might be time to take gracie for a walk. apparently my anger is getting the better of me which is sad b/c i literally just went tanning (yes, i know, it's very bad) in order to try and offset my funk and seasonal defective disorder.
bah humbug. i want to be in mexico :P

How dare you question a professor!?! I am more than a little surprised he didn't want to talk on and on about his job. I thought that kind of talking is what all "professors" do best.
