a question

say, hypothetically, that person 'Y' had the hots for person 'S'. and say that person 'S' "sorta has a boyfriend" and may be having problems with him, but otherwise seems... extremely interested in pursuing a relationship with person 'Y'. so what the heck does that mean for person 'Y'?

or bottom line, what exactly does this translate to? is it a "proceed with caution"? or "proceed at your own risk". or maybe it's more of a "danger, stay away" type of deal?

person 'C' has advised a "think before you act" strategy, which i translated (¿correctly/incorrectly?) as being "danger, stay away". i wish i understood girlspeak. sometimes girls that say "i don't like lamb meat" actually mean that they don't like lamb meat.

so apparently my job was eliminated today. i'm not out of a job, cause apparently management has already found another role for me. i'm still a little unsure as to how to view this change. on one hand, i feel like i was really learning a lot in my old job. on the other hand, i didn't really enjoy my job, and i certainly wasn't very good at it. i also have a feeling that the new position will probably require less ten, eleven, and twelve hour days and probably a lot less stress. unfortunately, i'll be working under the one manager i managed to piss off in my short time here. and right now, i'm still waiting to find out who my direct manager will be, as one has yet to be determined.

the crazy part of it is that this change has happened before. almost a year ago, when i was interviewing here at company 'i', i was told by the interviewing manager that there might be a change in organization soon. sure enough, before i even started, there was a change from organization of type A to type B. this resulted in a change in my manager to someone i had never met while in the interview process. and now, less than 6 months after starting, we are again changing from organization of type B to something that looks strangely similar to type A. oh the insanity.

what will be will be, and so it goes...

i never figured myself to be a mouthwash man. after all, once i had gotten on to the flossing schedule, i haven't had a cavity. but after seeing those "you can handle it, germs can't" commercials and the claims of being "as effective as floss", i made an impulse purchase and bought some listerine mouthwash. and faced with the decision of what size to buy, i of course, purchased the largest possible bottle in the entire store. that gives you the best value right? anyway, after reading the directions, i prepared to rinse at "full strength" for thirty seconds. however, upon pouring the vile liquid into my mouth, i realized that i was not man enough to survive the requisite thirty seconds. that stuff is perhaps some of the worst tasting stuff i've ever had. after an amount of time less than thirty seconds, i spat it out all over my sink area. so now i'm left with a huge bottle of listerine and will indubitably feel compelled to use it--if only because i spent five bucks on it. yet more evidence proving that if it's good for you, it must taste bad.
