I promise...
Well, a good friend who chewed my ass, but it felt like a warm hug of warmth and caring, got hold of me after reading the last blog and I promised her I'd look for a new job. So, I am starting on the long road of job-hunting...once I get the resume organized.
Why? You wonder, when the job seemed so 'ideal'. Because I communicated a boundary and it did not get honored for very long. And, as my friend pointed out...it is just a matter of time.
She is not the only one. I shared some with two guy-friends and their comment was, "You need to find another job." One even offered to help me with my resume, but I'm sort of embarrassed to reveal my 'standard' job history...however, he was a garbage man for 7 yrs. (lol) Well, now he is not...
I will be looking in the PDX area for jobs. There is more job-market, my sisters are near (Mario, we can start our dinner get togethers again), and more things to involve the kids in. I also really like PDX, it always feels like "home" when I am there. I do not even mind the traffic!
Also, I've started to attempt the scary world of dating. I mean, literally...scary! I am intimidated by the whole thought of it; I've been told that it is a place where you do NOT want to be completely honest, trusting, or open. But, to discuss the whole fear I have and my idea of who I want to be vs the way I should be if i start to date is too much right now. Maybe I'll do it sometime when I feel more talkative.
Honestly though, I got lucky for my first experience. I went to PDX last weekend and met someone I had talked with over the net. Apparently I totally caught him off guard and to quote him, "[His] head is spinning like a whirlwind...only felt like this one other time in 10 yrs of dating..." Which means; he is being honest with me, cautious but kind, and interested but proceeding slow, and understanding. In truth, he is giving me more advice about dating and how to proceed vs not proceed than I've ever heard before. He tells me, "Don't just trust (even me), be cautious, be guarded, be wise..." I wonder if this reverse psychology because in truth it is resulting in that I want to trust him because he is being honest...lol
Well, I best get to my job resume...lol.
PS
School is going well. What I am thinking of is this, should I quit my job now and live off the financial aid i got for a month while focusing on studies and job search, or keep working...What is your opinion??? reply.

Work until you find a new job. If you quit and haven't found a new job before the financial aid runs out, you're screwed. If you move up here and are in my area, I'll totally babysit. : )
Love you, wish you luck in job search!
I agree with Mario, the money runs out fast. look at me, lol ok maybe ya'll don't know about my money problems so yeah. keep working until you've got something for sure, then when you find something and they like you give them a tentative date you can start working. then you can let your boss know that that date will be the last date of your working there. ok phew that was alot ttyl sis

I want to say keep working because the income would be a good thing to have but even that process is wishy-washy at your job so I say forget it before something really unconfortable happens. Completely contrary to your sisters, I think you should get out of the situation you are in before he really oversteps that boundary.
