The Hamptons
I had to go out to Bridgehampton this morning and damn, that is one long drive. Unfortunately I didn't have enough work to fill up more than about 45 minutes of time there, so my boss made me come back. I probably could've gotten away with just going home had I not said that I could come back tomorrow when I left. Stupid me! Oh well. At least I get an extra $50 or so just for my mileage out there. All I really had to do was swap out a PC of the founding partner as his broke. He was appreciative, and its always good to look good in front of a partner, especially when his last name is part of the company name. The drive back was fun though and its good to know I still love my new car, even though it has over 11,000 miles on it already, in only about 6 months. Thankfully I have 25,000 a year in my lease. Going over would be bad.
So its Wednesday and I'm definitely feeling trouble getting over the hump. The sooner the day ends the happier I'll be. I just want to go home and relax and practice some guitar. I've been doing some thinking and despite my difference in opinion in nearly everything we talked about I'm going to make another appointment with the psychologist. Its simple. I want to try to be friends with Elena, I am going to move out of my parents house and into one with 3 women, and I'm not going back to grad school for my MBA. What I want to work on is certain aspects of my behavior, like my proneness to let people take advantage of my good nature, my inability to stand up for myself and be assertive and my shyness in social situations, especially with women. If he can't help me with that, then I'll find someone else. Thats what I want help with, plain and simple. It doesn't seem like I'm asking for much, you know?
I was talking to Seth's girlfriend, Shari, my future housemate yesterday and she's all excited about the hosue thing, as am I. I think its going to be really cool. She said her friend, another one of my future housemates suggested that we all get together for dinner one night soon to get to know each other a little better. I was actually thinking the same thing and said it would be a good idea. It'll be nice, get together, talk, figure some stuff out. The only concerns I have are really about Keyser, to make sure they're all good with a dog in the house, the really bad guitar playing I may subject them to, and the TV and Internet situation. I need, not want, but need, premium cable with HBO and all that, and a broadband Internet connection. No arugment. Need it. I'm sure it won't be a problem. I'll be bringing most of my wireless networking stuff from home, so I'll be able to get that up and running without an issue hopefully.
Still not sure of a move in date, but I'm not sweating anything. It'll give me time to save up my money for the 3 months rent thats due when we move in. Crazy, huh? One months rent, one months rent as a security deposit and then half a months to the rental agent and half a months for something else. I figure once I have all my credit cards paid off, which will be as soon as my dads check clears, I'll put aside one months rent from each paycheck I get from now until I move in. Without credit cards to pay off, I have no other use for money, except to go crazy with of course. But now is the time where I must exercise self control with my cash, and to continue doing so, so this will be a good starting point for my new anti-spending behavior.
Alright, enough babbling out of me. Back to work.
