weblog 08312007

today i must remember to cancel my NYSC gym membership. maybe i'll go to the gym for the last time (not really, since i still have gym passes that i can take from my job) but just the same, i will be checking out the local gym and seeing about working out there.

i was denied a schedule request for the weekend of September 15th. i'm really burned because too many experience people have quit and they ain't tryin' to cut anybody else any slack. and i want so badly to make things work with this guy i'm dating.

this is the first time in a while that there has been genuine mutual chemistry, and i don't want to be the reason why it doesn't work out. how can i make a long-distance relationship, my job, and my music aspirations not conflict? can i cultivate all three AND enjoy a social life? it doesn't really seem that way at the moment. but i want it so bad that i need some kind of action plan to make it come together.

the most direct answer is to find another job with more NORMAL hours, so that we can at least have mutual time together. what's the point in bussing it down/up only to wait for the person you're seeing to be off from work? not to mention i work overnights, period.

but is it worth it to go through all the trouble? while i hate the hours i can suffer through them while i'm still "single," as it were... what if i go through all the trouble of finding something else in the way of work, only for him to decide that he doesn't want to be with me after all?
