I wound up going to dinner with Dean

 

August 2, 1999

I wound up going to dinner with Dean (my new boss) and Boz (the guy I work with) ... and then we went back to the office to work and work and work ... I didn't get home till quite late ... and I was bummed missing Sunday dinner with Kris and Chevy ... they always cook up a storm on the weekends ... and I work so much I love having my two days off ... anyway between jobs today ... Kris and I met at Big 5 Sporting Goods ... and tried on skates ... it was so great ... we were skating around the store ... they were so much better than rollerblades ... I put them on hold ... they are getting a smaller size for me from another store ... and they are holding Kris' till I get mine in ... I wound up telling her cause Chevy didn't think she would really want them ... neither did Kristy ... so I told her and she was sooooooo excited ... cheering and whooping ... so today when she was having a rough day ... I gave her the address and asked her to meet me there between my jobs ... she was excited to see we were trying on skates ... the sales clerk was cracking up at us ... it was totally fun ... the skates are white with purple wheels ... I am thinking of surprising Kris and getting red ones put on ... its her favorite color ... that way part of the gift will be a surprise ... ohhhh and the biggie for today ... Merrill Lynch called and let me a message today ... about a job offer ... so I feel like I am at the point of making a huge life decision ... the job of my dreams making hardly enough to live on ... or a job that pays me pretty well but that I am not too excited about ... and I don't wanna make the wrong decision ... {not that anyone wants to make a wrong decision} ... there is just so much to consider ... and figure out ... and it will be a day of standing up for what I think I am worth ... not always the easiest thing to do ... I sometimes think it is easier to get paid less than you are worth and wow people ... then for them to pay more and never be 100% sure of what they are getting for their money ... man I just need to sleep on it and see what happens in the morning ... man I can't wait till Kris and I get our skates ... and I want a job where I get to see her some during the week ... ohhhh it will all be figured out in the morning ... all that is left for today are sweet dreams ... {smile}
