Quiet weekend with D8...I'll probably catch a movie with her tonight...she has no school tommorow so she will spend a good part of the day with my parents (thank God for my parents) while I pretend to do some work. On the work front, I noticed that quite a few people have been struggling with concentration and or motivation and I am no different....problem is that even though I am improving on the detaching front, my motivation at work has not followed....perhaps i need a change of scenery. I would love to drop the bomb on my present employer and start fresh in 2009. I am very encouraged by some folks who have been struggling and seem to be turning the corner with the help of some outside influences (aka new interests). Maybe that is what Michelle means by GAL.... My cousin's wife wants me to go out for supper with them and a high school teacher.....I asked my cousin to check her out today (girls are going over...maybe they are watching NFL...who knows) and report back on wether we should proceed. I am also going to setup a little date (wow that sounds weird) with a lady I bumped into. She is from the same ethnic background as I am and looks pretty nice....although she seems (from our phone conversations) to have held a grudge from her divorce. I am sure I can snap her out of it with the degree i earned being around here for so long. I'll call her IL40 (italian lady) for further reference. So...I am not in M's league or Kerry's for that matter (even gypsy is ahead of me) but perhaps at this time next week I'll have something nice to report on the human warmth side...(no no Gypsy no nudge nudge....don't get me started).
