So I still have those 5 pages to write on that last project that is an albatross around my neck that I have bee posting about for weeks...
I have decided I will stay up all night if I have to - to finish it. The night is young - so I am still procrastinating.
I am going out to lunch with a person I met at the last seminar - and he knows Mr. Professor (Alec Baldwin look-alike). So I will investigate Mr. Professor's marital status.
Mr. Professor is an Ph.D EE and a patent attorney - typical overeducated Indian. He has done the private practice thing and is now Dr. Academia and head of the IP dept. at a major university law school - we had some good idealism vs. reality discussions. I have never been involved with anyone with a little extra weight - but he is very charismatic, confident, quick and witty and made me laugh a lot. He is not Bengali - so he doesn't speak my language. He is actually taller than me - a rarity when it comes to Indians.
The one thing I liked about my M is that The X and I were a power couple. I want that again. I want a professional equal. I want the type of R I have with my male girlfriends w/o the girlfriend part. The X was a very good looking man - and one of the smartest men I have ever met. He was also a EE! LOL! All my male girlfriends are EE's and patent attorneys - seems like I definately gravitate towards EE's!
All the men that have intrigued me since my D have been through work - and all of them are overachievers that are seeking to balance work and life.
The thought of the possibility of an R is unsettling b/c I am so settled in my life. But I don't have to decide the rest of my life today. And just b/c I get involved with someone does not mean I have to M them or even have them move in with me.
Emailing Man will be in town in August to visit his best friend Mr. Cardiologist. We are all suppose to go out. They are both M - but Emailing Man thinks his friend may have friends that may appeal to me. Mr. Cardiologist is in his mid-40's and just got M a year or two ago for the second time after being D for 12 years. He and his 40 something W just had a baby. We will see - hanging out with like-minded people will lead to at least friendships with other like-minded people.
I also need to email the lady and her H that I met at the fundraiser. The H mentioned he goes to a lot of fundraisers and will let me know about them - he said there are lots of single professionals there - that are not afraid of successful women.
I will confess - I really am very settled in my ways. It will take a lot to yank me out of my R inertia. I want to get out more and have fun and if I meet anyone that intrigues me - I will panic about it then. There is no need for pre-emptive panicking about what is not at this time.
Life is - well I will finish that sentence AFTER I finish typing these last 5 pages. This is a 45 page document - and really it shouldn't take me more than an hour or so to finish it. I really HATE picking up work that I thought was finished months ago...
