The management stuff may end up being in my favor in the long run (or not - if there are further budget cuts). My boss said he was instructed to consolidate all the work. So if he is pulling work back in - well there will be more for him to send out - and if/when he can send out work - I am at the top of his list.
Meanwhile - I have enough drafting work to keep me busy - as in normal person busy through the end of August. And the management work that I currently have pays my bills.
I am going to sign up for one of the the breast cancer walks later this year. It is for a good cause and will motivate me to get/stay in shape. Upping the treadmill distance by 1/2 miles and slowing increasing the incline is creating more muscle tone... I will up it to 5k the week after next. The good thing is that while I am not losing weight - I am not gaining any weight - even after my long weekend of eating whatever I wanted.
As for M GF - she won't bring up the affair again with me while she is sober. I am surprised she told me in the first place since I tend to be more conservative than most when it comes to stuff like this. I will bring it up if/when we go out again. When she had gushed on about the 22 year old - I had been quiet probably from shock. The little guy is apparently not even attractive - she is looking for someone else that is insecure and manipulatable. Honestly - a 22 year old. What on earth does one talk about with a 22 year old? I suppose talking isn't why they are together...
N GF is a mess - but she is also an adult. Ang being an adult involves taking responsibility for your choices in life. Sometimes things don't always work out as we expect in life. And I doubt this affair will make her happy for long - she is a generally unhappy person that keeps going from one expensive purchase to another - one surgical procedure to another. She actually had her son's ears surgically pulled back when he was a baby - that one floored me too...
She won't walk b/c she loves the lifestyle her H provides, has never worked a day in her life, has never paid a single bill in her life and wouldn't know how to begin to balance a checkbook. She is counting on him not D'ing her b/c of alimony and child suport for 4 kids - and if he does D her she has built up a nice pension plan. She has a strong sense of entitlement - I have no doubt she would feel no guilt in going after the money.
Yes, I am being judgemental - so be it. I do get tired of hearing about the rich housewife woes - I am refocusing on my goal of hanging out with like-minded people. There are people that I posted about that I enjoyed hanging out with and talkng to - well I will focus on those friendships.
