Wow, today just felt FULFILLING. In contrast to most of my days, which at the end leave me feeling a little needy and lonely.
I worked in the morning, had my going-away lunch, and took the chance to confide in this guy about what happened with the boss yesterday. He's an older guy and seems pretty cool yet I've not gotten to know him because he hasn't been there long and has poor location for socializing (in a cube with no privacy). He understood exactly where I'm at with wanting time off. I felt much better about it. The guy sort of asked me out, and gave me his phone and email. I'm not sure I want to date him, but it was sure nice to get the interest.
I went around taking pictures off all my coworkers to remember them by. That was fun. I've been hanging out with the young guys all week. One of them was helping me later with my project and told me that it was going to be hard to replace me, and that the software I've done there is really good. That was sure nice to hear.
Then I finished working on the last project my boss was pressuring me to finish-- it worked! So he'll be off my back tomorrow.
Then I went to a folk dancing event with my friends (a couple), and there was this whole social scene there. I couldn't learn the steps, but it looked like it would be fun to learn and go to these events, which happen a lot. It was mostly women, but the right age range for me to make friends, and heck there were some men, so maybe it would be an avenue for dating too. It gave me hope that I can find new social avenues out there.
My friends took me to dinner and I had a great time with them. I felt 'mommied' afterward.
Ah, how come I don't have more days like this? Is it just I'm getting extra attention for leaving my job... or have I opened the gates to something? A whole day full of fulfilling human contact. Gosh-- I've survived with so little up til now.
