Ah yes, workermonkey.
I think i'll go with ron's format of his last blog.
Job- Have I even posted since i moved? I cant even remember. Well just in case- I moved to Tallasassy about a week or 2 ago. Things are gonna change i can feel it. Slowly. I think i wanted everything to change quickly. Its going, but its going to take time. Thats ok. The new job responsibilities are ok. Theres a lot of shit i need to learn about grants and paperwork. I now have to tuck in my shirt, shave everyday and look damn near presentable. I'm in the HQ of the agency and theres all these big wigs walking around. Quite a mans man world in this place too. The building kinda sucks. Its all run down and putting off a weird depressing 'shoot me in the face' kind of vibe at times. My office space also sucks. I have to share a large busy room with another person. Its funny how all the secretaries get the nice offices and the higher up professionals get the shaft. Or maybe its just me. Got to work my way up in the place i suppose. Another thing is too-in this new job i have more power and more influence (i'm kind of a big deal..) but it feels the complete opposite. I hate being new, clueless and useless. It will come around i'm sure.
Been busy of course. Lots of meetings and lots of traveling. Just got back from a conference in WV at
this place. Its nicknamed "Club Fed" cause its so nice. It was. Taking off next week again too.
Girls- Hey ladies.
Oh yeah. The branciteams on the prowl. Yes, i've been prowling. Whatever that means. Its tough meeting chicks though. I dont like to say i'm "looking". I like to say i'm "open to it". Cause if your looking, you usually dont find. But i can tell i'm definetely concentrating effort on that front.
There was free bad wine (theres good and bad, but still wine) at club fed and lots of people were hanging out. I hit it off with 2 chicks (seperate occasions) quite well. However it was later pointed out to me that they were indeed married. God damn it. I dont look for the ring...do you? I'm going to now. But anyway one of them was totally flirting with me and was somewhat inappropriate for being married. Yes we were drunk. I think she knew it the day after too because she totally avoided me. Its hard being irrestibable.
And i now can join chump and say that i have a hot boss. Thats dangerous. I like her (and believed to be somewhat mutual). But she has a boyfriend (and we work together). So that one is going to take some carefull time and planning. RPL and I were working that one out last night. Its all about mindfucking for a while. Lets just hope i dont fuck myself in the process.
New house- New roommates are cool. I moved into a big house with an older (early 30's) married couple who own the house. They do social things (like go drinking, play poker) and have a network of friends. I do my thing (work) and join them once and a while. On an interesting note-recent news has been broached tonight. I walked out on the porch somewhat unexpectedly and caught em. Smoking the doobie. They were a little nervous and chattered a bit about it. I simply smiled and said, "thats cool with met", and shared in on the experience. And it was cool. The dude was quite releived and happy about it. Apparantly "smoking is really his thing". Mmm hmm. I think we'll get along just fine mate.
Checked out a yoga class tonight and got my ass kicked. I overestimated my yoga prowless and went for the advanced class. And it was. People doing insane headstands and other skillful hard poses. It was also kind of a workout yoga. I was
dripping the entire time in the unairconditioned room. Different from what i'm used too but still rewarding. I'll have to give it another shot (in the basic class).

sounds like things are under conrtol eh?
Ron what does conrtol mean? I looked it up in dictionary but didnt find it. You didn't misspell a word did you?
Sounds like things are going well Branci. Later.
Control (or conrtol) is a slippery slope. Its either the best of servants or the worst of masters.
thar be na typo! arrrrrrg!
Oh Branci. I don't doubt you'll do well with the ladies. Be careful with the boss, but at the same time, don't rule anything out. Wishing you a good time and lots of success. Love ya, sweetness.
