Everything is falling apart."
So, no wrecks this week, and because it wasn't my fault, my bosses don't really care that it happened. Though a few guys are making jokes about my driving now, but that's just how it goes. I like my job well enough, but I'm still looking to work overseas, so this weekend I reapplied for a security job in Europe. Kosovo, again, if anyone's keeping track. I did a bit more research this time around, and I think the reason I didn't get it is because they have to contact all previous employers, including my current one, and I didn't want them talking to my current job so they wouldn't know I wanted to work elsewhere. So, they've got permission to talk to everyone, and hopefully I hear back from them soon.
Saturday I went to the shooting range with an acquaintance from high school, Mary. She and I never really talked much back then, and I figured we quiet ones could do with each other's company. We both shot pretty well, especially considering she hadn't shot since August, and then we grabbed some lunch and had our first actual conversation. As we were talking, we realized that almost nothing and nobody from those years matters anymore. I wasted my senior year on a girl I dumped, and now I've seen her once in these past six years, and talked to her about just as often. Mary ran into her old best friend at the store, and their encounter was awkward at best. I'm kinda wondering if Mary and I first met at the wrong time in our lives, or if we'll just fade from each other's lives like we did before. Only time will tell, so I'll just spend time with her and see where it goes.
Stay alert, stay alive, folks.
I think that's a tremendous change and something to be very proud of. I was never a quiet person, so it's hard for me to completely understand the effort and inner fights you had to go through, but you've got huge kudos from me. Keep it up! :)
