Wow, I'm terrible at this, but now that I know I can get on it at work, expect some sort of post everyday...and I really mean this, this time.
My life so far? Has been completely awesome.
Like I said, Since November 1st, I am now employed. It's not exactly what I was shooting for, but it's a fairly nice place to start. I'm bored, at times, but I guess that's the problem with entry level positions.
Good news is, I have not been late, and have ALWAYS been at work. Every day. And I stay late. I'm showing to be a good employee, and that's what I want.
I really want to show I'm ready to learn and conquer new things whenever possible.I've been here for 3 months, and I believe I have made quite an impression. Or so I think.
I catch myself often slipping up on my hard-nosed principles of "Yes ma'am" and "Yes Sir". And I really beat myself over mistakes, which is a definite fault of mine, but it helps me learn. If you are not hard on yourself, you look lazy.
So, other than the job, I have moved to Dallas...kinda. I have an apartment, literally, a block away from where I work. Dallas living, right? But to be honest, If i had the choice I'd be wearing my boots to work everyday, still.
Wesley also has an apartment. Which, needless to say, blows mine out of the water. But I'm definitely okay with that, I just had one requirement for her place. Safety.
This place lets me sleep very easy at night.
Not to mention, we now have GG full time now. I love having her all the time. She's so excited when I come home from work, you cant help but smile. No matter how boring your job is.
I'm really trying to adjust to living here. It's insane that 4 years ago if you told me I'd be a college graduate, working and living in Dallas, with a beautiful girlfriend and dog...I would have thought you found the wrong guy.
On the other hand, I am not finished yet.
I still want to get back in "baseball" shape. And that starts with waking up early and working out, or going to bed late and working out. I will do one or the other.
Also, it starts with eating right. I have gotten very comfortable with my ability to eat whatever I want, whenever I want. This has become a problem.
I have slimmed down on the drinking a bit, which I find to be incredibly stimulating on weekend mornings. Did you know the sun actually comes out at 7 a.m every Saturday? And the Saturday news is often some of the best.
I will do a couple of things this year...and I've made a list. (in second person, of course)
1. Eat better, trim down and exercise. Get in better shape for Wesley, if nothing else.
2. Slow down on cokes. You drink close to 3 a day. Have one, and eventually, you'll stop cold.
3. Slow down on Social media. Actually, cut down on the phone usage all together. You have no where to go, and no one else important to talk to. But remember to call your mom every day.
4. Take the next step up at work. Look to be a leader, show them you have drive not to stop until your dream is reached. We both know what your dream is. Your the only thing standing between it.
5. Just pop the question already. It's simple, man. Just go to the jewelry store with some money you've saved up, and a buy a damn ring. They will help you. Get the balls to tell her dad the way you feel when she walks in a room. How sometimes you lie awake wondering what the hell she's doing still with a guy like you. Tell him, straight up, as her man, you're going to mess up, but you re going to make sure she is never hurt. That you are going to provide for her, and not only be a man of integrity that she can be with the rest of her life, but a man that he would be damn proud knowing as a son. You re going to have to do this, sometime. And you better do it before she does get smart and leaves you.
Alright, I'm sure I can handle that list this year...I'll keep you guys updated on my progress.
(hopefully more than once every blue moon)
