Today's thoughts

I'm in a considerably better mood than last posting.  Whatever my ex does, it's her business.  I'm going to try to leave it in the past and move on into the future.  I wish her all the luck and happiness in the world, because that's what true love is, and I did love her, regardless of how my tone came off in the previous post which I admit was written in a moment of emotion and anger.

I return to Las Vegas a week from tomorrow. I'm certainly looking forward to it, because I have great friends there. It's not like I don't have great friends here, because I do, but it's just that I feel like I see  them less frequently because they have jobs, kids, and they live in northern New Jersey, while I'm staying in southern New Jersey.  There's a certain young lady who I'm wanting to take out once I get home next week.  I had met her with a group of friends about 5 years ago.  I didn't pursue it at the time, but it seems like now is a good time for the both of us.  We'll see what happens there, but I certainly like talking to her on the phone and on the computer.  She's fun, sweet, sexy, and we have the same sense of humor.

I don't mean for this blog to be a continuous discussion of my love life, but thus far, that's what it has been.  Changing gears...

In another avenue, I'm going to be facing some changes in my professional life when I return home to Vegas.  For the last two and a half years, I have been a high school English teacher in Las Vegas.  I quit that job because physically, I can't handle being on my feet for as long as that job requires.  It seemed like although the kids seemed to like me, they would take advantage to use classroom time as a time to fool around.  Not that I blame them for doing that, they are high school kids and that's what they do.  Then again, I don't think it's right for kids not to have enough books in crowded classrooms with limited supplies either.   Anyways, I look back at my time as a teacher as a fun time, but it's not right for me longterm.

What I'd like to do is find a job where I can make a good impact on society.  I'm thinking perhaps a nice office job or maybe some work in a library.  I'm blessed with a great family and enough money to support myself, but for the sake of my sanity and benefits, I need to find a job that I enjoy that I'm good at doing.  We'll see what happens, but look for a lot of changes from me over the next few months.
