Communication 101

Mood:  meh

Thursdays are generally my favorite day of the work week...since they are my Friday.  But I have to work tomorrow.  And I was planning on doing 2 short days, but when I woke up I realized that was kind of stupid and decided on 1 normal work day tomorrow.  So I took today as my day off.  

Few reasons as to why...1) I'm still feeling kinda sick 2) I was tired and 3) still kind of embarrassed about last night.  Let me tell you why.  (Christie this is why I didn't text you....)

As you may recall I wrote about first dates yesterday.  And spent the majority of my day thinking about first dates.  Apparently this was unnecessary as I wasn't on a date...only I didn't know that until about half way through said non-date.  Which is kind of an awkward situation once this occurs.  You can do a few things in my opinion...1) throw a drink in other person's face and leave indignantly or 2) decided to make the best of the humiliation and make a friend.  While I've always wanted to throw a drink in somebody's face I chose option 2 and had a good time.

Only...I woke up absolutely mortified that I not only wasn't on a date...but had publicly announced I was.  Aforementioned new friend agreed to say it was a date for blog related purposes...but let's be honest...it wasn't and that's okay.

So today, aside from taking the day off so I did have a full day off this week my nice thing is simply to remember that communication is important.  And I should be clear about my intentions and what I want.  That whole playing coy thing?  It has it's place.  The random hook-ups?  Starting to look like an ideal option.  (sorry Daddy...)  Ultimately the nicest thing I can do for myself is remember that anytime two humans decide to spend a significant amount of time together there has to be something organic about the process...it can't be forced by either party.  So I'll keep searching....which unfortunately means more awkward first dates...but at least now I have someone local to call and bitch to over a beer.
