You wanna play? Batter up!

In non-boys (because obviously I don't know any men) news- I had a monumental day yesterday. Not one but TWO job offers. That's actually more legitimate jobs offers than I've received in my entire life. haha And on the same day? My boss approaches me 11am about a promotion, with an ok pay increase and they'd replace me. 6pm the phone call comes from the company in NYC I interviewed with last week. That would be a transition to a new industry, and it's entry level...and the pay is absolutely horrendous. Horrendous as in I'll be living with my parents for another 3 years at least, and I'll have about $200 to my name after monthly bills, commuting, car payment, etc. So, about one night out a month if I don't plan to eat either. Upside- it's cool and hip and young and I could possibly make a lot of money long term. Upside of staying at my current job- they will tailor it around what I want to do, its more money, it's close and convenient. I think I've decided to take the promotion. If I take the switch it's a chance I could make bank in 5 years, but the rate I'm going I might drive myself nuts by then so what would be the point of slaving for pennies?.... I have until tomorrow to officially decide.

Let me tell you, do 2 job offers in 1 day do wonders for your swagger level!! So let me fess up, I have been seeing Josh. Surprise! We kind've had like this huge emotional, dramatic reunion about two weeks ago. So everything was all honeymoon for a week. We've both had stuff going on this week. During the reunion I found out about the slut - aka who he had been out with when he was texting me all night who is clearly not "just a friend." He told me he would cut her out of the equation- I told him if he wanted to see me again, that's what he had to do. I plan on investigating his phone sometime soon after lights out. I don't care if this is wrong, psycho, nuts, that I shouldn't have to do this. I NEED TO KNOW. I've realized I don't care all that much which way this goes at this point (but I don't want to get played out either). It's fun when we're together but it's not like it was the first time... and we agreed it shouldn't be, that we rushed and need to take it all slower and not consume each other. In the past though I got used to the way he semi-smothered me, so now that he's not it's kind've weird.

So now that I have his attention, I think this is the opportune time to put the Argov Principles into affect. Think like a man, act like a confident woman, be smart. Dumb like a fox. Not easily accessible. Hot and cold (or luke warm).

I have enough going on anyway. Two job offers I'll need to celebrate. I'm a smart, attractive woman I don't need to chase after a guy to feel good.
