Today was slow, but not slow enough, once I got home. We didn’t do much business (it seemed) at DQ, but we did more sales than I thought. Today we had to let Gail, one of our new employees, go. She called in sick twice in a row, later than she was allowed both times. Steve (nor I) are going to put up with that. He had things to do and needs dependable people…me, well, I just have to go by the book because I would probably mess something up if I got creative with procedures.
Yesterday I cut my hair. I kinda messed it up, so I had to adapt to an army crew-cut. It’s all right, but I don’t like it much. Amanda noticed, but I don’t think she likes it much. It’s ok, she’ll either like me or she won’t, I don’t care and it’s not going to be something I’m going to worry about.
However, there is a girl that is relatively recently single. It happened back in the beginning of December. But I have been waiting for this for four years. Valerie and her boyfriend (who is still in high school) broke up. She goes to Baylor and was thinking of transferring to ETBU next year. I was all for it, until I wasn’t coming back. But I need to see about hooking up with her. She is going ot be my secretary when I own my own software company. We decided when we were in high school…english class working on a career paper, to be exact. I would really like to date her, but I don’t know exactly how she feels about that. I was friends with all the girls in HS because I never tried to date any of them (simply because my parents said “get yourself a girlfriend at ETBU, don’t waste your time on a girl in this town.”) But that never happened…a couple close calls, but nothing as lasting as I had hopped for. Dah well…I had tons of friends at college, and that was my biggest concern when I left – that I would be able to make friends. Class work would not be a problem, because I knew that I was smart, and if I didn’t know it, I could learn it relatively easily. Arrogant? No, confident…but ironic that I cam here now because of grades. That’s only because I spent too much time with friends instead of studying.
But as I come to find out, my “one-on-one” time with each person made them feel loved, special, or thought of when they weren’t having such a great day. My ever-present screenname online also helped people by giving them a void to talk into and a psychologist for their relationship problems or tech support. I also found out that some people regretted not talking to me more, or spending more time with me getting to know me. I wish I would have seen it coming too, but that is why I spent the last week of school spending quality time with the group of people I cared about the most, and with the girl I cared the most about. But things have all changed now…and now it is bed time. Laterz.
