Transitioning to new job land is kind of fun. I made a sock puppet for my coworker and today she gave a clinical presentation on PTSD with the puppet. It was fun and educational!
I’m going to have a big gay happy hour in Boystown on my last day and my coworkers are taking me out for chocolate fondue! I don’t get anymore cases since I’m leaving so next week will be a lot of me calling people and saying “Hi, I’m leaving. Talk to my boss from now on.”
Roommate has been gone for a few days. It’s kind of peaceful being alone except at night when the anxiety kicks in. For some reason, my head believes that my skinny little roommate can ward off bad guys. Maybe she’s more a good luck charm than a bodyguard.
I moved my sleep study meeting to next week. For the next week, my homework is to try to go to bed earlier. I hope I didn’t do a sleep study just to get stellar advice like that. I would rather them offer me drugs than tell me “try to get 8 hours and everything will be OK!”
I’m trying to figure out the online dating protocol. Every site now has a feature where you can see who views you. If they look OK you, of course, view their profile, too. Then there are “hot lists” people can add you to which pretty much does nothing except saves your profile on a separate page for them and notifies the other person that they have been “hot listed.” Personals sites really like to make verbs out of nouns. So do I “hot list” the person back if I’m interested? Or just go ahead and send them a message? Is this the equivalent of making eye contact vs making the first move if I weren’t a geek and met people in real life? Because I will make eye contact in bars but I rarely go up and start conversations with strangers. Which maybe is why I’m single…hmmm.
I will have to give this more thought.
Time for bed. 8 hours!
