Things are lookin up

Recently, I've had issues with finding a job here at home. I worked for the city during the summer and it's going to continue when school starts back up, but it's not my most favorite job. I would still be working with annoying children and job would only be 12 hours a week which limits income. However, I shouldn't complain that much since the boss is looking out for me and is paying me well. Also, I had a very unpleasant experience with a certain real estate company especially because I was pretty sure I would get the job.

Well, I got a phone call today from this guy, Kyle, who has been collaborating with Ben, the owner of the real estate company. Kyle assumed that Ben had talked to me about a possible position with this Halo organization, but Ben had not. It turns out that although Ben did not accept me for his office, he was actually looking out for me by passing on my resume to this guy Kyle. Now, it looks like I'll be working for this Halo organization which is trying to fundraise money for some private property thing. I'm not sure of the exact purpose of this company, but that's okay. I do know that I'll be doing a lot calling trying to solicit money. Not exactly what I would call fun, but the point is that I have another part-time job. Kyle said he would be calling me next week to start.

Although the title of this entry is "Things are lookin' up" the general boy situation is not. I haven't mentioned it before in my entries, but I started taking a liking to this guy, Chadd, from work. We made it known that we are interested, but since work has ended he's totally dropped the ball. I've become disheartened about the situation, but we'll see what happens.

I met another boy prospect last week at a party. His name is Gian and what's interesting about him is that he's half Italian and half Belizean (from Belize). The obvious connection is the Italian. Unfortunately he's pretty far removed and doesn't speak the language :( The Belizean connection is interesting because Belize is one of the possible countries I could be going to in the Peace Corps. I went out on a date with him Monday night. It went ok. The conversation was a little lacking, but he seemed like a nice guy. Then the other night, he invited me to go out with him and his fraternity brothers. I wasn't really in the mood and I didn't want to go up there by myself just so I could feel like an outsider. I ended up hangin out with Nick, and after I left around 2am, Gian calls me. He really wanted me to stop by his place, so I did. But he was drunk, I was not, and I wasn't in the mood for a make-out session. However, he was persistent to the point of forceful, and I was NOT down with that. He reminded me of another certain Italian guy who tried to rush me into things. We sort of planned to watch a movie at his place the next day, but when he called I didn't answer.

I want to end this blog with something that's related to the title. Most of my friends here in town are boys, and after a while you realize that girlfriends are important. Luckily, I met this girl named Baby. And yes, that is her real name. We went out last Saturday night, and she introduced me to a bunch of her friends, and I think we're hanging out tonight.
