Week from Hell!

This has been a week from HELL!

Oh my god, everything has been braking and it’s been like Christmas around here. I have been getting boxes for shit nearly every day!

So Monday I come in and things just aren’t working. Our Faxes got all screwed up with the number porting so nothing was working there, then other stuff broke then I was in meetings all afternoon. It was a mess. IE: This guy comes in at 9:30 and says the screen on his laptop is not working, also he has a flight to Argentina at 10:30. Yeah an HOUR to fix it, I think NOT! Then the CEO comes in at 10 and says his laptop is not working.. Also, he’s on the same flight!

Tuesday was MORE of the same, things breaking, shit coming in that needs immediate attention. I have this HUGE project in Mexico coming up and I MUST get all the hardware ready for it to be done. I have two weeks today to get it setup here, tested, then packed and shipped down there. I’m not sure it’ll make it! lol.

ALSO the PIX 501 in Washington went out. So they mailed it to me. Of course Cisco doesn’t MAKE a PIX 501 anymore so we had to get an ASA 5505. Things have not been going so well with that. Although I think that I finally have it setup right. I just need to figure out how to test it all out! LOL

Wed was MORE mess. Honestly I can’t even remember all the shit that has stopped working this week/needed my attention NOW!

At one point this week, I had three monitors, two laptops, a PIX 501, the ASA 5505 ON my desk and then NEXT to my desk I had two Poweredge 840’s and an Optilex 740. I was working on ALL of them at once!

Then today, this bitch stops me as I’m dropping something off and she’s like, “My insert key doesn’t work”. Then she got all pissed that I couldn’t waste my time to fucking fix it for her right there!! UGH! People. First if you fucking WANT something, email me about it. That’s the only way to be SURE that I get information. ALSO today, I called a company we had purchased stuff from and yelled at them for not getting it to me on time. Only to find it out had actually been delivered EARLY and someone hadn’t notified me that it was waiting at the front desk. (It’s been there since the Nov 24th!).

So other then that, I made a batch of pfeffernusse. Had this guy Adam come over while I did that and we hung out. Long story short, I found out that Kris had met him at a coffee shop a few days before and KNEW that I knew him but didn’t say anything. I was fairly annoyed. The guy on the other hand was mostly annoying, one of those people who’s smart and really likes to show it off. I find that such a turn off. Kris went on a date with him as well, said he enjoyed it.

That started a huge conflit between us. Very annoying in general, here I thought he and I were getting closer, but apparently I’m in the friends category with him now for good. So whatever. Just annoying in general. I can never keep what I want. I need to just stop being so fucking stupid and let the emotions out!

So in anyways, then I planned a date with this other guy Anthony. He’s Italian, just graduated college with a Human Development degree and has no real job… But other then that he was fun! Not sure how I felt. He was cute and we had a good time, but if you’ve seen Mambo italiano. That’d basically be him, in a family who’s anti-gay or whatever. And also, WTF is he gonna do with a human development degree? Where’s he going with that? Who knows. He’s very inexperienced in the whole dating/gay scene as well. Which can be a positive and a negative. Good in that he still has those hopes and dreams of finding a great guy, bad in that who knows if he’ll turn into one of those whores once he finds all the hot guys of Weho! We’ve got a second date today. Should be interesting!

Halloween!

What a freaking ridiculous weekend!

So Friday I got off work and headed out to WeHo to meet up with Steve. We got there and ate dinner and drank a lot and then headed out to WeHo. Walked down the street and took HUNDREDS of pictures with lots of RANDOM ass people in crazy costumes. We stuffed some small bottles in our pants for the street walking. Drank those and what not. Finally got to the Abbey and the place was PACKED, they weren’t letting people in and the cops came and were shoving people all over the place. Headed over to the factory and the line was LONG, but thankfully we knew people and were able to walk right in.

The place was insane packed, I headed to the bathroom and came back with just my underwear! (And no, I didn’t get any action the WHOLE night!) I honestly don’t remember much after that though. I ordered a Long Island and danced the night away with the boys. I guess I made out with some guy, but I don’t recall? We all walked home after running into Mayko. Yes, I had to WALK home in my underwear! Redic!

We got back to the place and Kris had a little bit of a blow up at me, but we talked it out and he ended up staying the night. We all got up around 9:30 on saturday and went out for brunch. From there Kris and I headed to Griffith Observatory and it was really pretty! You could see all these storms all over LA and stuff. We hung out there for a while and then all of a sudden a HUGE storm moved in with lightening and shit so we headed out to my Aunt’s house in the valley.

Got there and her dogs were insane. Nick showed up and we went to the grocery store then made dinner and my aunt and uncle got home we had dinner chatted it up and had a great time. The three of us then headed out to Kris’ friends house and played a game and spent a few hours there. It was a LOT of fun there that night! Headed back to the aunt’s house and sat in the hot tub a while then hit bed.

Got up at 4:45am Sunday and had a quick breakfast then headed out to this Muddy Buddy thing that Kris and Nick were doing. It looked like a lot of fun. I had a good time just hanging out at the park and what not. Lots of hot muddy boys! 🙂

They got done with it much faster then I thought they would so we packed up and went back to the Aunt’s house where she made a full buffett of food including french toast, bacon, sausage, eggs, etc! Delicious! After that we sat in the hot tub for a while and then drove back to LA.

The freeways were amazing!! Got home in no time at all, laid down on the couch and promptly fell asleep! Woke up again at like 4pm and watched some TiVo then went over to Kris’ house to watch Simpsons and what not.

Today I am back at work. I can’t wait for this election to be over with! I’m so sick of hearing all the ads and shit.

On Friday I enabled a new internet filter here at the office. Today I got this long bitching email from this woman about how she uses her personal laptop, etc, blah blah blah and how we have no right to filter what she does on her laptop. I’m not FILTERING what you do on your laptop. I’m FILTERING what you access using our COMPANY’S INTERNET! So I went through the logs of what she’s been doing and I haven’t found ONE work related website that she’s been to since Friday when I enabled the filter! Very random!

So anyways, Jason and I got in a huge fight again on Friday as well. He was being a total asshole because I wouldn’t ditch Kris and Steve to go to his Party instead and said he wasn’t going to invite me anywhere again. So I went off on him about how I have other plans and how I don’t just ditch people like he does. Then I find out he sends this email to Kris about it and blah blah blah. Now this mutual friend that we know says that his friend spent the night at Jason’s. Things are starting to REALLY unravel and it seems like someone is full of lies around here. It’s VERY annoying.

San Diego and Dreaming!

Another trip to San Diego and another great time! I love that city and it makes me want to move there even more every time I visit!

Last week was VERY productive! Aaron got here early on Thursday morning and we went out for breakfast and then came to the office. We analysed everything and worked through the numbers and what not and found out that we can save my company 43% per-month on phone costs, which amounts to around $65,000 over the next 12 months! Insanity! I was basically unable to believe it for most of the time. I kept sitting here saying, “We have to be missing something”. Thankfully we put a line item in for a monthly cost called “Fluff” @ $1,000 and we also built in 50,000 talk minutes @ $0.035 so hopefully that’ll absorb anything we missed!

Friday night we all went out to WeHo and I got WAY to drunk, but oh my god was it tons of fun! It was a good time just like what we used to have. Got home about 3ish and was up till around 4am. Got a call Saturday morning from work about something not working which was very very annoying.

Got up about 9ish and was planning to leave for SD much earlier, but everyone was slow and the drinking was crazy, so Kris and I went to breakfast and then picked up Aaron and off to SD we went. Got down there and I was going to take the scenic route down and just chill in the beach cities and what not, but Aaron wanted to go to TJ, so we headed there. It was a very interesting experience to say the least. I got some really cheap shoes and Kris got some really cheap Alc! Yay!

After that we headed to the hotel room which ended up being a Euro Style hostel! We were NOT expecting that at all but it was a REALLY cute place and had it been in Europe and wasn’t so fucking expensive it would have been perfect. When we got there Aaron apparently knew the front desk clerk guy which was a little AWK.

Went to the room and relaxed for about 30 minutes and then headed out to the house of blues for appetizers and a drink. Aaron said he was tired and went back to the hotel. Kris and I metup with his friends at the Yardhouse for dinner and we were there forever. It was a TON of fun, but they all just kept talking and talking. After that we went next door for a drink and then headed back to the hotel room. I think we got back at like 1:30ish or so and slept till 9:30 the next morning.

Got up and ate breakfast with some of Aaron’s friends and then headed to Cabrillo point which was just amazing! From there we went and toured Kris’ old college which was CUTE as hell and then headed back to LA. Dropped Aaron off at the airport and then went home for a few hours, took a nap then Jason, Kris and I watched 2 more freddy movies.

Living My Life…

I’m getting along pretty good really. I do have my days, I get sad, I cry a little, I have to resist calling him and screaming at him or crying my eyes out. But I am having fun again and enjoying things more.

This week has been very very busy. Lets see, I have to try and remember everything I did.

Monday, I worked. I am doing this HUGE project which is an online web-store for my company, so things are very hectic and we are trying to roll it out very fast. That night I went to the gym and then had a dinner/birthday party for this guy Cj that I met a few weeks ago. He’s a flight attendant and we met up with his flight attendant friends for dinner. His friends were very bitchy and annoying and the whole night they talked about being flight attendants. Erick came over that night and we had a very long discussion. He’s STILL lying to me about whatever happened between him and Constantine, I am not an idiot and I found proof that the story he is telling me did not happen WHEN he told me it did. Also he told me that after a week of hinting at what I knew, he finally figured it out on his own. But he then admitted that he talked to Constantine THE NIGHT I first brought it up with him asking Const, “How does he know what happened”….So I am not sure what to do with him, if we should try and be friends or not. I do not deal with liars and cheats. If he wants to be friends, he’s going to have to do a lot to show me that I can trust him again.

Tuesday, work, gym, I did something that night, I think maybe I hung out with Sirin or something? It was a pretty laid back night.

Wed I got home and went to the gym again and then went up to WeHo to meet up with Steve for Bingo. Lots of fun there, some cute boys and what not, late night. This was one of those nights I was very sad towards the end, on the walk back to the car I was nearly in tears. Ugh! I did win at Bingo though so that was exciting! I won at this game called “Rim Job” of course! hahah.

Thursday I went rock climbing with Mok which was lots of fun. I bought a 10-punch card to this indoor rock gym. We also met this really hot guy there named Adam. I hope that I run into him again while we are there. He seemed really nice and very cute. Of course there were also lots of other REALLY hot guys there shirtless and what not. So that was exciting. I got home after that and Sirin came over and we drank wine and chatted and had a great time, it was another late night for me.

Friday I went to the gym again, came home and watched this horrible movie called Tan Lines. It’s about this group of Stoner surfer boys from Australia. One of the guys is kinda hot, the rest are nasty, the movie is really fucked up at times (drinking tea and getting a blow job?), the sex scenes are horrible. I would not suggest watching it. I took a nap after that and then picked Jason up to go to The Factory again. We stopped at Chad and Ronnie’s house on the way up there and picked them up. The factory was a mess Friday night. First the bar tender was a complete ass to me, so I flipped him off, then Jason and Chad were all over each other, so I was the fifth wheel, they ditched me and just left to go to another bar which was annoying, they wouldn’t give free glasses of water, only a $4 bottle of water that you can buy at a fucking gas station for $0.69! Very annoying. We left at like 2ish and then drove and got food and hung out at Chad’s house for a while then drove home. I think I got to bed about 4:30 that night.

I was in a pretty bad mood anyways the whole night because on the drive up there Jason and I were talking and we have both decided that there is obviously some other guy down there in Houston with Const. All the signs are there, and this guy has obviously been around for a while now. Very annoying. I am also very hurt that he deleted all the facebook comments that I have left him over the months together. On the drive home, Jason and I were talking again and I said that I don’t feel like I belong here. I don’t think I am going to find the type of guy that I am looking for here. I don’t understand why guys can’t just be open and honest and want a caring loving relationship. Why do they only follow the cock? I just don’t get it. I am so sick of people lying to me and cheating on me. I am an honest and caring person and have very strong values. Where’s the guy for me? Anyways in a rare caring and emotional moment Jason was like. “I think you belong here” so that was nice of him.

In spite of all that, I still had a fun time on Friday night.

Got up Saturday morning and went to the beach for a few hours, it was UNGODLY hot here all weekend long. The beach was WAY to hot and the water was WAY to cold. So I went home, watched Hairspray which was very good and then took a nap. Got up that evening and headed up to Santa Monica for dinner with Tal. We had a really fun time and he was looking very cute that night. We ate at this place called Asahi Ramen which was very good. On my way home this hot 18 year old that I know called me and wanted to hang out, I was like a block away from his house so I picked him up and we headed back to my place. Watched But I’m a cheerleader, made out a little and then I drove him home.

Sunday I got up early and headed out to go Rock Climbing. For some reason I had a lot of energy that day so I did a lot of climbing. We also did this new climb called A-Frame which was pretty hard. My fingers were very tired by that time, so I never made it to the top of that one. I also got pretty beat up on Birdshit crack, I just couldn’t get my leg up high enough to push up the rest of the way, so I was hanging there by just my arms for a little bit which was very painful because your whole arm is jammed in this crack between sandstone which really rips up your skin. We had a great time anyways. Went to lunch after that and talked about the Death Valley trip which is coming up next weekend. I found out that I may have to drive myself up there, which is very annoying. I assumed I’d be able to ride with someone. UGH!

Drove home after that, took another nap and then headed down to Newport Beach. I had an excellent night and saw this movie called The Indian which was very good. Crashed the night at Dustin’s house.

Sunday was supposed to be Const and my day to chat. I called him on my way down to Newport Beach and he didn’t answer, and never called back. I wonder if he ever will. I know I shouldn’t, but every day I still hope that he will call and say. “I did the wrong thing, I miss you so much” or that he’ll show up at my door with flowers or something. Every time I hear a front door close in my apartment building, I have a small hope that it’ll be him letting himself in again, to come and cuddle in my bed, to laugh and chat over dinner, to talk about our days. Anything to show that he cares even the slightest. But like I said, it’s very clear he’s found some guy down there.

Honestly, not to sound like an asshole. But I don’t think anyone who’s dated me will find someone who will treat them with as much respect and caring as I do for someone. Sure, I’m a little jealous sometimes, and I might require a little to much time/work, but honestly it’s only because I care about someone. It’s only because I like talking to them and caring about them and hearing about what’s going on in that person’s life. I give them all so much, why can’t I find someone who will give it all back to me.

Anyways. I am moving on, I’m having fun and I’m getting back out there. I’m keeping myself very very busy and having a great time!

Adios!

Moving On…

What a busy weekend.

This weekend I had to keep myself busy or else I would have gone crazy thinking about Const and what not.

So Friday I got home from work and went up to Santa Monica, hit the gym for a long time and then met up with Chad for dinner and a Movie. We say No Intelligence Allowed. It was actually really interesting. Although not as good as I was hoping it would be. There’s a section about ISU in there too. After that I drove home and picked up Jason and then we met up with Chad, Ronnie and some other people at The Factory in WeHo. Had a really fun night of dancing and drinking. Got home about 2:30 and saw that Const was online. It was 4:30am there! WTF is he doing online! So I freaked out, mostly cause I was drunk off my ass and started talking to his friend Tim and being all sad and annoying with him. He was actually very nice and said some nice stuff. But he also said, “Const isn’t as innocent as he seems”… WTF does that mean!? Ugh. Anyways. I went to bed at about 4am and only slept for a few hours. Laid in bed and read a book most of the time.

WacoGot up Saturday and went over to Jason’s and hung out with him, Vince and Jack all day. Jack was very cute and funny. Crazy kids. The first thing we did was drop off some stuff at the Hazardous waste disposal place. They were wearing like HAZMAT suits and shit. You’d think they were accepting Nuclear waste, not just electronics and old paint! It was very funny. Went over to Torrance Airport for a while and hung out with this guy who has an old Waco. Went back to Jason’s after that and we were going to replace his water heater. But the thing is so old that the drain was all clogged up, so we couldn’t get the heater to drain. And WHO puts a water heater on the second floor?!?

Came home after that and took a nap then headed back to Santa Monica to meet up with Jess, we went and saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall which was VERY funny. Lots of male frontal nudity which was surprising, the guy has a HUGE cock! Scary! lol. After that we went out to a bar in Santa Monica and had a few beers and chatted and had a great time. I got home about midnight and went straight to bed.

WacoSunday I got up at 5:30 and headed out to Devil’s Punchbowl to meet up with the guys for some climbing. Little did I know what I was getting into out there. We did what’s called Lead Climbing. Something I’ve never done before, so it was a bit nerve racking. We ended up about 150 in the air and then having to repel down the side. Again something I haven’t done in a LONG time and never from such a height, so it was very nerve racking. After that we went out to lunch at this place called Charlie Brown Farms which had delicious Buffalo burgers and I bought some Wild Boar Sausages.

Got home about 5 and my friend CJ came over and we hung out for a few hours watching TV, he left and I hung out and did some random stuff. Const called me at like 9:30 and we talked for a little bit. We are going to try talking every Sunday just to try and keep the friends going and communication open.

Friday I also downloaded the new Counting Crows album. Very good. I suggest getting it. 🙂
