First Day Boredom

It was day one of my new job. It went as most day ones do...boring. I am not sure why they even have you report to work on the first day. You get nothing done, you sit around all day...I could do that at home. I expect the first week will be pretty boring for me. Then things should get better.

I did have a little deja vu feeling this morning watching people roll into work at this new wireless company. You see I worked for a wireless company some 10 years ago and this one is so similar. I am not sure if that is good or bad yet. I feel like I might have taken a step backwards in my career. Time will tell.

One nice thing is that they are sending me to a training class next month for two weeks - in Reston, Virginia. I will get a chance to see one of my oldest friends as he lives in Baltimore. We will be able to get out on the golf course like we used to way back in the Navy days. I am looking forward to that.

Another thing that I have been thinking about lately...my anniversary just passed. It made me a little nostalgic for my 10 plus year relationship with my ex. This is the second anniversary that has passed since we split, but this one made me feel somehow different. I think there was still some shock and anger when the day passed last year. Now I am passed all of that and all I have are memories and my thoughts.

I thought about some of the things I miss about my relationship. Here are ten in no real order.

1. Planning a vacation together for weeks and then going.
2. Spring nights on the patio together with a fire and a glass of wine.
3. The feel of her really soft skin.
4. Watching football together on Sundays.
5. Waking up with her nekked body next to mine (OK with her nekked body on her side of the bed). And also the getting nekked part.
6. Three hour meals at five star restaurants.
7. Phone calls when I am on the road.
8. Goodbye kisses.
9. Making her try on new clothes she hates so she can see how great she looks in them. I really like it when they become her favorites.
10. Someone to talk to everyday.

I could also come up with some things that I don't miss about the relationship, but I am just not in that place anymore. Happy Anniversary girl.
