Hey Spongebob!

It's Pat! I love Pat... he's great! So reliable, loyal, innocent... what a great friend! Honestly... have you seen the movie? He was so genuinely happy for Spongebob's supposed 'promotion', that he planned to fly through the sky butt naked with a flag stuck between his butt-cheeks congratulating Spongebob... in public! He was so
appalled when SB was turned down for the Manager's post.. like honestly and genuinely confused.
"WHAT? Why?!"
Too cute. I hope to be just like him when I grow up.

I had mashed potatoes today! Yesh yesh... from a box... but maaaan it's b-e-a-uuuutiful.

Are all men babies? I was talking to a girlfriend of mine - she had a loving boyfriend about 2 years ago... she says he was sweet and almost a perfect match. She wanted to commit - i.e. head towards marriage. He didn't - oh oh, but he DID want to live with her. *woof* Due to this, he broke up with her - she didn't want to live with him without being married. 2 years ago, she was 26 and he was 28. *Now that he's 30, he's getting those 30-something jitters?*

Two years come and go... they talk and lime sometimes. She got a call two days ago - he's ready... he's financially stable, he's ready to commit and ready to pick up where they left off.

Since when it's just on their terms?!? Ladies... honestly, right?

Two years - people change, situations change... there is no "picking up" of where you left off! You left her broken-hearted (that her sweetheart broke it off with her since she wanted a future with him!).. do you reallllly wanna pick up from there? Woof.

Now... the trick is this - he was 'ideal' with one flaw: committment issues. Now that those are gone, shouldn't it be 'better' now?

No wonder God gave woman the job of bearing children - we're the stronger, tougher bunch, and - dare I say - the more mature of the two.

Now mind you - I am one for reformations, and all that... however, to get hurt like that and to go back into it - it's like entering a race as a handicap - or something so.

After asking Nyx whether or not we are just to wait for men to grow up - may it be in breaking up and breaking your heart to try to mend it after they find themselves - she simply put it as this: you meet a guy who's already broken into... you know, like a shoe. I mean... wouldn't you love to have someone else break in your brand-spankin-new leather boots? Avoid the corns and blisters... perhaps it's the same with men. Perhaps. Woof.

A Cruise ship company called me today for a Purser job - however they required an Espanol conversationalist. Oi. I told her that I would do a course, and so that she should keep my name and file on record. This call, however, came through while collecting lunch with the senior engineer sitting right next to me in his car. Oi. He heard, and of course, questioned. Then beans were spilt - I am no longer loyal to my company. Apparently HR sees this position as deadend and plans to keep it that way. He consoled, however, that there are "people behind me" and assured that things would change. Truth be told - I'm indifferent to whether there are or not... it doesn't change the present and I do not trust the future. I would leave here... in a heartbeat. And well, now it's out... now he knows.
I started so enthusiastically... and kept it up for a bit until I spoke to HR - see, functioning is easier when you see a clear future... but when someone 'shuts you down', and the future seems non-existent, flat-lined, and blurry, well, you start a blog! *whops*

I'm now gonna get ready to grab a drink with my girlfriend... TGI :) :)

Weekend - hiking - spending money... oi. Have a good one, though!

*Zu sweeps into her last half hour of toil. Will she find contentment? One day Zu... one day...*
