(3am) I decided to have a couple last nite to wind down after the trip over, so I went down to the Scoop. (I ran into the Cunninghams there, so I partied with them and caught up on all the local gossip.) (Caroline was there too and I visited with her for awhile. (She is working two jobs and getting along with Ryan still. (Good for her.)) (I also ran into an old roommate who is back in town for a couple days, and we talked about the old Paw days. (There were some wild nites back then!) (I met one of Cunningham's friends who just recently got divorced two months ago. (He says he is getting laid more regularly now. (And that he has been the beneficiary of more blowjobs in two months than in ten years of marriage.))-(?)-(People keep telling me that sex still exists, but it's sure not finding its way to my bed!)-(He also says a hot tub is a definite must for every bachelor. (Maybe that is what I am doing wrong?)-(But, where would I put it?)) (They say Ian got married. (Lots of women have told me he is worthless, but he sure does a lot better with women than I do! (So what does that make me? Less that worthless, I guess.)))
Then I went to breakfast with Cunningham and my old roommate. (There was a bit of entertainment there when three women at the next table looked at each other, one said "hit it", and they all ran out the door. (Hog and jog time at 4-B's.)) (I heard a new line, to me anyhow: A good looking blond came into the restaurant and my old roommate calls out to her, "Pull up a face and sit down.")
Now I had better catch some z's.
(7am) I am feeling pretty much ok, so far.
I know that ultimately all change in me must come from within, but I also know my past changes were helped along with a little help from friends. (I like myself more now than I once did and a lot of that came from within me; but it was supported and reinforced by the love my friends have given me.)
(8am) I had breakfast this morning with Bruno. (He is one of my old pool shooting buddies, from my Scoop days. (My old routine was to shoot pool at the Scoop until around 7pm and then I would hang out at the Paw until closing time.)) (He had me laughing so hard I almost fell off of my stool.) (He is good people.)
(4pm) I bs'd a bit with Ron today at work. (He says he has given up on the poker machines, for awhile anyway.) (He says to forget about Wallace and save up for a trip to Nevada.)
(6pm) Tis Chinese food time again. (Yum.)
I have been pondering a change in my accounting career too. (Taxes, audits, and the rest of the compliance work of CPA'ing kind of bores me, and I would have to do a lot of studying to get back up to where I would need to be to do a lot of that kind of work. (One of my strong points is that I am a generalist. (Rather than specializing, I have acquired a wide body of knowledge ranging across all sorts industries and a wide collection of skills.))-(Another strong point is that I know most of the questions. (A big part of accounting is just that. Few people can keep up with all the answers because there are so many and they are constantly changing.)) (One answer that would draw upon those strengths and my psychology background would be some sort of consulting work. (I think that could be fun. (It would be a way to meet lots of people, a way to help others, a way to be challenged more, and maybe a way to make a few bucks.)))
