Yesterday was the last day of my incarceration in the cutting room, with the big, knife-wielding boys and their caveman attitudes about everything, including women. I can't say after eleven years of bossing the boys around that I'll miss it at all. There's been enough blade-slinging in my life. Enough name-calling. Enough ass-grabbing.
I'll miss Alyssa. I feel awful leaving her back there on her own. Everybody needs a wingman. She was mine. I was hers. I'll miss Jesse for a little while, but I suspect he'll seek me out when he gets too lonely. Of course, he always seems to find a buddy where ever he looks. He'll be alright without me.
I can't say I'm heart-broken to be leaving the man-cave, even if it is only to the front part of the store. Bookkeeping, they told me, but they've got me scheduled to check. Maybe there was some miscommunication. They told me before that I make too much money to check. I completely agree. Bookkeeping seems more like my kind of thing. Who knows what's going on. It'll straighten itself out soon enough.
I'm shrugging the shoulder and thinking it's whatever.
Everybody says there's so much drama at the front of the store, but there's drama everywhere, and I'm all grown now, so bring it on. We're gonna work that shit out.
The best part is, I'll get to be pretty and look like a girl. I went and got my nails done today to celebrate the transition. I almost went for the mani-pedi, but opted for the eyebrow-waxing instead. It was time...
Spring Break begins tomorrow afternoon, but I have those kinds of teachers who like to take that opportunity to give a lengthy assignment, in case of boredom. Bless their little hearts.
I'm taking the day-long tour of the university tomorrow in Canyon. I'm so lucky to be living here, where the college and the university are so accessible. I thought about moving to Canyon, to save gas, but then I remembered it's a dry county, so...no.
Besides, the kiddos and the grand-kiddos would miss me too much. I like to think I'm pretty much their favorite person.
I'm going to miss Mr. Green Eyes. I think I'll miss him most of all.

Times of transition are neither good or bad, but certainly interesting. Luck.
ReplyDeleteAnd didn't someone once suggest you sprout some vertebrae and ask this green-eyed character out for movie and an ice cream cone? I believe so.
Dry counties....reason number infinity squared I'm glad I do not reside in the south...
I tried. I froze. And then he froze too. It's awkward at best. and silly.
DeleteSo try again. Simple. What's the worse that could happen?
DeleteIt's nice to get the chance to do something different. You're right; there's drama everywhere. Sometimes the drama tiresome, sometimes it provides inspiration and ideas for new stories to write.
ReplyDeleteKeep the books, and good luck in your new job. >:)
Cold As Heaven
thanks. I think I'll need meditation more than luck.
