Today was a loooong day. I am living in Denver and I had to drive to Co Springs for work this morning. That's an hour and a half long drive. I thought work started at 7:00a.m. It started at 7:30a.m. I woke up at 4:30a.m. to get to work half an hour early. I drove to a Dunkin' Donuts and sang Clara's rendition of the theme song they don't have but she sings anyway. It goes a little something like this, "Ddddddduh ddddddd duh dddddd". I miss her.
The only thing that kept me sane for the entire day was that it was my first day of work and Pike's Peak greeted me as I entered the city. That will only be charming for one more day. Tomorrow is that day. I met and looked for apartments with a colleague today. Hopefully it will work out. I can't drive that far in the morning. I can't afford to live alone. I can't afford to spend my time after work talking to my goldfish. I can't be the lady with a cactus, Venus fly trap, aloe plant, and goldfish with no roommate. I can have those things if I have a roommate but only under that condition. Today I got a red binder and learned about how to teach middle school children. I really like all the new teachers who were there today. I can't wait to meet everyone else. These are tired person thoughts.
Question of the day: Where do I go to hangout with the Air Force guy I checked out for 10-35 minutes in the grocery store today? I had to open a new bank account out here because my Hillsdale bank is not bankie enough to provide its services in the West. This led me to the super market with a Chase inside of it in Co Springs. I said to myself, "This is classy. I'm classy. Oh, there goes a guy in an Air Force uniform and a flawless tan. He might even be 6'4". I should bank here. Classy! This decision is classy."
It's not to say that while the Chase guy was asking me about my move, new job, where I am planning on living and telling me where I can deposit my first born child if I over draft on my checking account I was staring out the window watching the Air Force guy walk by... but I was. Here in my new town I've decided that dressing nicely and embracing extended eye contact is the ticket to finding a man over 6'2". Eye contact is key with teaching middle school kids so if you think about it...even if you don't think about it you can take my word for it because I already thought about it... I am simply training for work. This makes me professional. In short, where do I met these uniformed men? It's hard to say... (It would be harder to say if I wasn't friends with some and once dated one. I think they might enjoy drinking. Where do people do that in public?!?!)
'Nother question: Should I get a hair cut? If so what should it look like? I want to get like a longer-ish bob type deal. You know where the back is shorter than the front and my hair is shiny and I never have to even try to make it look nice. That could be okay. It's hard to say...
Finally: It is shocking how terrible Tina Fey looks in the first couple episodes of 30 Rock. There's an episode where Jack thinks she is a lesbian and sets her up with his friend who is played by the actress who plays the DA on the old episodes of Law and Order: Special Victims. The blond who goes into protective services because someone tried to shoot her. She came out of protective services to help convict an Irish shooter called "the Ghost" after he shot and killed a little boys parents. He actually shot the little boy but he didnt' die. I think her name is Alex something on the show... It's hard to say...
ANYWAY, Tina is looking better these days. Good for her.
