She had a great time. Called her at fifteen seconds to midnight to do countdown with her, and she said they stayed up til about 12:30 after that. It was bittersweet, I am glad she had a good time, but man I missed her.
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
Well this has been a very interesting week. Just a recap really quick when I first came back to NY, I worked a temp job for about four months. LOVED IT. The firm was great, people were superb, atmosphere was wonderful. I was filling in for a woman who was on maternity leave. However, they knew I was looking for a permanent position, and when it came, I had to leave. They tried to find a position for me, but the economy being what it is, just couldn't. I did tell them to call me if they ever had an opening, and have kept in touch with a few people.
On Thursday, I got the call from the administrator, and there is a position opened. It was offered automatically, and there are a few details to work out, but needless to say I accepted. It's not that I don't like the firm I am at now, but I liked the other one better. It is a little more money, but that really was not the reason. I just like the other firm better!
In terms of SG, I made a radical decision this week. Technically the divorce can be finalized at the end of the month, but since I have to fly back to Texas for it, I was going to finalize in March. I think I will have to hold off on that now because of the new job, but regardless...
SG and I had a conversation last month in which he expressed interest at being at the final hearing. He does not need to be since he signed and filed a waiver, but he said he wanted to be there. Well, this week I asked him not to be there. I told him that since this is not really what I wanted, it would make it too painful for me to see him. I reserve the right to be a little selfish with my emotions right now since I, for the most part, am back on solid ground. I told him he should trust me enough to know I am not going to screw him (like I want anything he has anyway). He emailed me back and said okay, he did trust me, and he would not go.
Of course, now, I am not going to take time off from a new job. It will have to wait until the summer.
I feel better...and am excited about starting a new job. Of course, giving my notice will be interesting...I will probably do that Monday or Tuesday after I speak with the admin at the other firm again...

Congrats on the new job! That is excellent, esp since you really liked that place better!
Too bad you can't get back to Texas, though. I mean I know you probably aren't exactly looking forward to it, but putting it off means it will be 'looming' out there...
Anyway hope you are out having a fun Saturday night!!
You know, I would much rather make a good impression at this job. I will get back to Texas eventually to finalize the D. But for now, there are things here in NY that need to be taken care of first. And at this point, it is really just a formality. I read something somewhere about facing your greatest fears, and so I thought about it and realized I had already come to know my greatest fear and survived it. That was losing SG. And since I have already survived it, and really come out on the other side, it makes the rest of it seem trivial at this point. In the past, I would have taken the opportunity to see him, even if it was just for a few minutes. But now, I realize that it will hurt to see him, and that I do not have to put myself in that situation. Since we have no children, no property, no bills together, there is not much point of letting a relationship linger. But all in due time. I will probably go now in June, just to give it six months at the job. Take a long weekend, get 'er done, and come home knowing I will not have to go back, ever.

So I got a call from the admin over at the other law firm yesterday. Turns out that the paralegal who was on maternity leave that I was temping for is not coming back.
Guess who is getting the job???

Hold on. I can't keep track. You have gotten too many job offers. You just took a new job, is this job offer with the same firm? Or back at the other one?
