Don't even go there

Remember when I said work was going great? Well, as of now I take that back. For some reason they decided to lead me in holding me by the hand and yesterday they decided to drop kick my ass into the deep end of the pool. Or, to say that in a less dramatic way-they pretty much stopped guiding me at all and expect me to know everything. WTF?? This is not what I expected. How am I supposed to know what to do in every situation? It's not like I was given some manual with cases and solutions, ahhh! Anyway, ahem. Done with the ranting, at least for now.

Work aside, my friendship with Sarah is progressing very nicely. Since we were spending a lot of time together, I decided to introduce her to Jess, my other friend, to see if they would hit it off. I was hoping (best case scenario) that the three of us could be really close and become good friends, eventually. But sadly, my best laid plans did not work out, and that's an understatement. For some reason, when the three of us went out, they just didn't click. They didn't really talk to each other, and after a while both of them kind of stopped talking to me, so the whole night was spent in awkward silence. Well, check plus for effort?

The only thing that got me through the last couple of days was the guy at work I mentioned, whose name is Luke. He seems like a nice guy (although I am definitely aware that appearances can be deceiving) and he has a great sense of humor, much like mine (joking mixed with sarcasm). The best thing? He actually gets all my jokes and isn't put off by my occasional sarcasm, which usually intimidates other people. This would be a very nice development, except for a small detail: I work with him! I'm not stupid enough to mix work with pleasure, as they say, which never ends well. Great. I meet a decent guy and he's off limits. Does the universe realize how damn hard it is to find a decent guy these days? Ugh.

Every time I picture him in a fantasy, I need to remind myself, "Don't even go there!"
