Dog news, job news and my first Christmas present
Dog news- Poor Caramel (my dog) had to go to the vets for two days on an iv. She wasn't eating and lost 2 more pounds. She used to be 10 pounds and now she is about 6. Anyway we got her back home last night. She seems a little better. Her eyes are brighter and she's started eating a little bit. We still have to hand feed her but at least she is not turning away. She has another chemo appt Monday and they're going to discuss other options besides the chemo because it seems to be making her so sick. Job news I had my interview on Thursday. I think it went well and the guy liked me. It was a bit weird though because this guy who interviewed me couldn't have been older than me and was very cute. I think he might have thought I was attractive as well because he seemed to stumble over his words a bit and sometimes have a hard time looking at me. I hope to hear back next week as to whether they want another interview or if I didn't get it. Later that night, after the interview I stopped at this bar I used to go to with friends after class when I was in school. The place is so divey but I still love it. The name is "Bob's Bar"- how original. Anyway I walked in and I hadn't been in there for about 3 or 4 years and the same people who were there last time are still there. They are a couple of older guys who are obviously alkies. Anyway I was the only girl in there except for a girl who was waiting to start her shift. I sat at the bar but tried to be inconspicuous. After all I was dressed in a suit and everyone is in jeans and a T-shirts. So I had a beer than some townie bought me a shot. I told him not to but he kept insisting so I'm like what the hell. Thankfully he only tried to talk to me for a few minutes. Then I started chatting with the bartender. It turns out he went to the same school and we talked about how we're doing completely different things than our majors. He kept telling me that I looked familar. I thought he was going to ask for my number or something but he started talking about his ex girlfriend. He said they've been broken up like a month but they were together for seven years blah blah blah. I tuned the rest out and told him I am not the best person to talk to when it comes to relationships- I am bitter. Then later he tried to almost talk me into coming back later when the bar is more hopping. So I left after 3 drinks and did not go back. I am not chasing after or even being the slightest bit available for some guy still even talking about his ex- no thanks. My first Christmas present of the season. Yeah, I got my first gift and all I have to say was what the hell was she thinking? I would think my best friend knows me quite well and would put a little more thought into my gift. She got me a tower of chocolate. I suppose that is a nice gift but a. she knows I am trying to lose weight, she is the one I am going to the gym with b. The brand of chocolate she got me isn't even my favorite and she knows that. c. I'm not even that big on sweets and never even get desert when we go out. d. Why the hell didn't she just get me a gift cert to Barnes and Noble when she know I love to read. So she is clueless. But the thing is, do I just grin and say I like the gift or do I tell her? Also should I re-gift? I don't want this chocolate in my home, I don't want to even be tempted.
