Work is work... Just when you think you have figured things out - you are blindsided by another work thingie... The vacation has helped me keep it all in perspective. I am thinking clearly again.
Onto more fun things... I had forgotten how fun men can be!
I spend far too much time interacting with men that work for me, with me, above me at work - and with married men in my social circle. And in that environment, I maintain a relatively controlled demeanor.
Spending a week interacting with available, attractive, interesting men in an environment where I really could let my guard down completely was really nice. Very relaxing to not have to watch every word I say and worry about demeanor.
I didn't stiffen up when I received a compliment or someone flirted with me - for the first time in a long time - I was in a position to be able to throughly enjoy it and embrace it.
So I need to make it a point to find more social situations where I can let my guard down.
There is a woman that I met there that is my age. She also has a similar lifestyle - works too hard and forget to take vacations. She has found a singles cruise in February - I am thinking about going.
I still finding myself smiling at memories from my vacation. Many of them are great conversations with women and many many of them are silly fun flattering interactions with men that just make you smile. Being a woman at work is a pain - being a woman on my vacation was fun!
That being said - all these theatre meet ups seem a little boring at the moment - so very hard to put one's hair back up again and behave after letting it down so completely and dancing on table tops!
