What I Need

Oral Sex.

Kidding.  But not really.  I could use some of that, too.

What I really need is to make some friends.  As stated in this post, I am sorely lacking in the way of good, dependable girl friends now that I have graduated.  I was doing pretty well piggy backing off of Hubby’s girlfriends; you know, those girls that are dating the guys that are the actual friends of Hubby.  I was doing really well until they got selfish and either moved away or broke off the relationship.  Selfish…

Now I’m stuck as a slave to the workforce; putting in more hours than advisable or staying later than recommended for mental health.  And it doesn’t seem to be making me any more money, which is the real goal of this.

I have “work” friends.  And they are good people, but we never hang out.  It’s as if there is a block on all lines of communication outside of our office.  I will accept 100% of the blame for this if necessary.  It’s rough.  I have considered going back to school solely for the peer interaction.  But then I realized that is a crazy reason to go back to school and might as well just force myself to go to the gym.  Also outside of the realm of my willingness right now.  Maybe all that will change with the inception of our Book Club at the end of this month.  This way I will get to read a fun/sad/difficult book and wine and dine my work friends at least once a month.

What spurred me today into action was talking to my dad.  He is always talk to me about finances, which is a topic for another day, and stated how I need to be more responsible about how I spend my social time in order to save some money.  I almost flew off the handle and berated him with my miserable excuse for a social scene.  I calmly refrained.  It’s not his fault I don’t tell him these things; he doesn’t know.  But I can say one thing, it is not my lack of self control with the peeps downtown that keeps my bank account a $0.
