All you need is love love love

So as always my pathetic love life is... well pathetic. In October I went out with a girl I met on the internet. Yes, the internet. She was nice, cute, and fun to be with. It all seemed to be going good till she honestly told me about her past. While she was completely reformed and a much better person, it was sadly to much for me to deal with. I hated the fact that I couldn't deal with it, and I felt a little shallow for it. But luckily she was completely understanding.
I decided in early December to ask out a girl from church. She agreed and we went out to dinner. She had an early appointment the next day and stressed that she needed to get back home pretty early. I could take that to mean she wasn't too sure about me or didn't really want to go but didn't want to hurt my feelings.. but I pushed that aside as I knew the nature of her work. That night we went to three different restaurants looking for one that didn't have and hour and a half wait. As I don't really eat out much and wasn't expecting everyone to forget how to cook for themselves... we ended up at IHOP. In the end I found out she wasn't really into being silly and spontaneous. And our temperaments kind of clashed. I really REALLy hated that it didn't work out as she was very cute, and sweet and a great Christian. Oh well.
Lastly I went out with this other girl from church. It was right before Christmas and because it was the holidays I was feeling lonely and I think she was too, I asked her out. The date went fine and we went back to her place and watched a movie. I felt like I was spending an evening with a friend more than a potential girlfriend.
Lastly I have been talking mostly through emails to this one girl back in Lubbock that I went out with a couple of times before I moved. I don't really know right now if anything will come of it, but I would like for it too. But, as long distance relationships go (yes I know its really not that far, but its not like I can drive in the middle of the week to see her and get back at a decent hour of the night), they can be complicated.

There baaaaaack...

So I guess its about time to write something in this lame excuse for a blog. To my story from where I left off. I have come to except the nature of my job even though it strongly conflicts with my personality. I like to be able to see far into the future planning my actions ahead of time. This job does not allow me to do that. As I have written countless times in my blog I have anxiety. When you don't know when samples are going to come in, or not going to come in, or going to come in in mass numbers, or all going to be rush for the next day... Well it can be stressful for me. So today we got a total of 100 samples in. Wow I just realized it was an even 100?! Anyway, I got 15 this morning no big deal. I was able to have them done by 5pm. Around 3:30pm we got 85 samples. Now I knew these were coming so I was prepared for them (mentally, well because there's nothing I can really do to speed up prepping and running). Today and exactly 5:30pm I left my work with 85 samples to do. I have plenty of time to do them and there is no rush. In the past, as you can see below, I would stay until 10pm working on such samples even when I would not need to. So I see today as a big step towards me learning to deal with my job and not let it rule my life. Sorry, that was shorter in my head.
