Week 2 - 3

Week 2

So I didn't have time to post this until now, but my second week started nicely, I got my self a cube!!! Yay! They finally gave me a pc and I got to lug back all the junk that I had in my previous office and bring it over to decorate this new office. Gotta say though, they do have nice cubes....the furniture looks like a nice cherry wood, and my cube don't look like its cover in plastic as my other friend said so eloquently about her cube with the gov't. Still, I spent most of the week doing all these online courses....even the govt is starting to do the online thing to save on money....but let me say while I'm perfectly happy to do that...there are some courses that should JUST NOT be taken online...such as the ones I was taking.....too much involve understanding how contracts work and when there's no one to answer questions - it can be a pain.

Week 3
I really enjoy getting Columbus Day off and was thinking week 3 was starting out nicely...NOT...a rather unpleasant reminder of the past came up to me yesterday. One of the most traumatic relationship I had been involved in which ended pretty badly six years ago came back to haunt me. The relationship ended so badly my company had to change my email and phone number and told anyone calling in externally for me that I had moved to Califormia (the dude was persistent if nothing else - it was a bit scary being stalked) It got so bad, I had to move and change my cell number as well as email addresses. Anyway, in these years - I've avoided going back up north where we used to live and in the past two years or so have felt pretty safe and going about my business again. Yesterday, the voice I least want to hear called out my name. Someone must be having a good laugh up there - cause I was just minding my own business and waiting for the bus - I turned around and there he was - he called me three times - for a few second there I was almost tempted to pretend I didn't know him and that was not my name - then I thought about how nacisstic this guy was, and decided that it would probably be worst for me - so I just politely said hello - and agreed it has been a long time - it seems he works for Home land security now (I really have to question a govt who would hire this guy since he was a perpectual liar and fibbed a lot - I'm still wondering how he got clearance.) Anyway, just then a life line - my bus came and I said good bye.....last night I started thinking about the best way to avoid him and was working on resetting my schedule so I wouldn't bump into him again and then realized I was being stupid. If I rearrange my life - I would have to be saying he has power over me and that just was not worth it....besides I'm thinking for someone as narcisstic as him, he should have found himself another victim a long time ago.....I hate to say it but better her than me.....so while I might be looking over my shoulder for the next few weeks......hopefully he'll be relegated back to old nightmares best forgotten........
