It has been a long time with no posts. Things got extremely crazy in my work life, which made my personal life stall for some time (my stalled personal life is still probably about 4 times busier than most people's, but whatever!).
Old Boss - who I think I might actually use his real name for on here, stopped paying me. He was off wandering the world and not getting in touch at all. I had my suspicions about things not being exactly on the up and up with him and had started looking for a new job a few months ago. He proved me right and I literally didn't get paid for over a month. He was in Australia then somewhere in Asia (apparently in the depths of a jungle or something because I would get sporadic emails about not having internet access). Apparently he thinks I am stupid - there are probably about 2 places in all of the world that are not fully wired these days. Not to mention he is a trader as his primary business...what trader do you know that is not always wired????
In this time I got a few emails introducing new people to me that were now my new bosses or new people I would be reporting to, etc. These guys were all very strange and one of them was the most annoying person I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. He is the guy who can talk for 2 hours and everything that needed to be covered could have actually taken 10 minutes. I did get a lot of house cleaning done while leaving him on speakerphone though.
It was during this time that everytime I spoke to someone about what was actually going on that everyone started using different names for Blayne (the name I know my boss as, but I think his name is actually Charles). I knew I had to get out quickly, so started looking harder for something new.
I managed to land my dream job a few weeks ago. I was so relieved to have a steady paying job and it really is what I want to be doing, so just extra bonus. I didn't tell Blayne I had taken a new job and didn't plan on it. There was no way he was going to pay me if he knew I was somewhere new.
I finally spoke to him after I had been at my new job about a week. He told me he was going through hard times...blah, blah, blah. I Googled him at this point and found this. He finally sent me some money (not everything he owed me...of course). I am still not sure how someone who steals $17 million can't pay me a few thousand, but at least I got something.
Obviously not knowing where my next meal was going to come from made me be somewhat quiet. Although my friends managed to enable me enough to still go out and have some fun a few nights.
In my previous post I mentioned Mr5Years and KS and they both disappeared. Mr5Years still puzzles me and I have no idea why he stopped contact. I think he is a complete pussy (not the first time he has done this, so he obviously is not an adult who can deal with things maturely). KS wasn't someone I thought would go anywhere from the start so I just stopped returning his calls eventually.
Since then I kind of cooled on dating and have been concentrating on the gym and work. This has been a good thing and I have been feeling great. This weekend was a crazy one and I am still recovering, but the one thing happened that I knew would happen eventually.
Thursday night I got my hair done and then Sarah and I went for wine. I met up with KB and friends and ended up at the Roxy. I came home at a reasonable hour and then stayed up most of the night on the phone with Toad trying to deal with the drama there (for the record he also muchly contributed to my money issues), so we had that to deal with.
Friday I worked all day and then went to S3 for drinks with ES and then we headed to GM for Fleetwood Mac. Most amazing concert ever. It was so great I really can't do it justice on here. We headed into YT after the concert for a bunch of food (damn you munchies!!) and CJ came and met us and him and I went to the Roxy again. It sucked...again. I was about to leave after one drink when I ran into a very drunk MM. I ended up hanging out with him for a few drinks and then decided to walk him home, which ended with me waking up in his bed. Ugh!
AT and I walked the seawall Saturday morning and then went for a boozy lunch at CC. We decided it would be fun to head out to the rodeo that night. I called JG and it was on. The three of us headed out to the burbs and did some predrinking at J's. We went to the rodeo and the line was ridiculous - there was no way we were getting in so we headed to Gabby's instead. AT and I had so much fun. There were High Five's everywhere and boys (real boys) everywhere. I ended up meeting one who really caught my fancy. We had so much fun together...dancing, shots, drinking. We ended up back at his buddy's and then back at J's at 5:30 am. AT and I decided to just come home. So, I drove home with no sleep at 6am (so not smart). I got home and crashed.
I got up and headed to M&D's for backyard fun. It was so hot back there - I got completely sunburned (dumb!). We ended up BBQing and hanging out all night. I finally crashed at 4am and was up at about 9 heading home. Kind of a pattern.
Yesterday I barely left my couch. I was so exhausted. I have been in contact with BB (Burb boy) since we parted. He is coming in to see me tomorrow night and I have to say...this is the most excited I have been for a first date in a really long time. So, I guess we shall see.
I always knew I would never meet anyone I really like in Vancouver. My friends knew it too so no one was surprised that I met a Burbs boy who drives a truck. I evern told AT on the way out that I need to meet someone who can change oil or a tire. He sent me a text yesterday saying he was going to do both on his truck. So cute!
I am heading to Sasquatch this weekend for 5 days of concerts and good times with the girls. I cannot wait. Hopefully we will make it with our RV in tact! Haha.
So, I guess this is to be continued...
