One confession

You know the movie "The 40-Year-Old Virgin"? In about a month from now, that title will describe me.

-----

I've signed up for employment at a few more companies. I took an online telephone simulation test for a position at Deluxe Checks. I had taken this before because I remember the three "callers," including an uber-stereotypical New Jersey caller. I cannot pay my bills when my current weekday job only schedules me for 5-10 hours a week.

Just three more of these...

Day Eight: Three turn-ons

1. Self-confidence. I know this is something I lack, but I am working on it.

2. Patience. It takes a while to really get to know someone. If you're going to reject me after only seeing me for one hour, it's not my loss.

3. Sense of humor

My feet were actually warm last night when I went to bed. I re-made the bed and folded one of the thicker blankets in half to provide an extra layer of warmth.

Day Six: Five people who mean a lot.

1. My dad
2. My mom
3. My current therapist
4. Tino, my co-worker
5. bucktowntiger

Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.

1. What else is on T.V.?
2. I hope I get a large tax refund like I did last year.
3. I really want a collie fursuit.
4. Why can’t I live *there*?
5. Will I ever become completely independent?
6. What other jobs do I qualify for?
7. I wish I wasn’t allergic to dogs or cats so I could have one.

I hope I can get some decent hours at Luce this week, including this coming weekend. My therapist had a good idea for my upcoming Toastmasters speech in January. Since I was having trouble writing a speech about my new job, the therapist suggested writing about my success in Overeaters Anonymous.

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.

1. Thank you for all you continue to do for me.
2. Your words of wisdom have gotten me through some tough times.
3. I still haven’t forgiven you for humiliating me, and I probably never will.
4. Your advice has helped me discover new things, meet new people and take more chances.
5. When you tell me you’re going to call me next week, I’m actually expecting you to call.
6. Yeah, I get it: you’re horny. What other emotions can you express?
7. Some people need to work more than one job to make ends meet. I’m not giving up the weekend job I love for you or anybody.
8. When I create a nickname for someone, that means the person is either really horrible or really great. You’re one of the great ones.
9. It’s really pathetic that you feel the need to constantly call and spew hate.
10. Although I never met you in person, thanks for the years of entertainment.

Day Two: Nine things about yourself.

1. I played the cello in grades 4-12 and was a member of the local youth symphony.
2. My lucky number is 12.
3. I hate when people sneak up on me.
4. I often fantasize about doing something illegal to make money.
5. I’ve lost almost 40 pounds in the last 5 months since joining Overeaters Anonymous.
6. I occasionally have major panic attacks over the most minor details.
7. I took courses in improv comedy and performed a show with the class in 2004. Some of us reunited this year for a reunion show.
8. I’m single but still looking.
9. I’ve been on a few cruises in the past and would love to resume taking them.

Greed is back to Medium after climbing to High last time, and Sloth is up to Very High. Other than that, no changes from last time.

A friend I met on last October's singles cruise forwarded this e-mail to me.  It talks about selected statistics from the year 1909.
