Meeting Christian Singles

I was checking my email and filtering the usual junk when one from this site caught my eye http://www.wherechristiansmeet.com/index.php?affil=1529-vegasWCM I wondered to myself if it would turn out to be some kind of Christian porn site.

It's actually a dating service of sorts for Christians but whenI got to looking at it somethings started bothering me. 1. you must be at least 25. (ok so thaey want people who've sewn their wild oats. 2. they have a place for marital status for legally separated. This is kind of awkward, I guess it's for those who have a spouse who won't sign the papers. 3. for the income range the minimum is 25,000. What about the poor christians who sit by wells with only do pennies are they destined to have a life alone, with their only solace to be the words of Paul? Is this because the web site feels that God only blesses those of us who can earn an above poverty income? 4. after filling out the application as Bill T. Cat with and email adress nope@nobody.com you're informed that a live rep will be calling you shortly. That's kind of creepy.

The debate continues

For the past few weeks I've been debating leaving my job or not. I have serious issues with loyalty, I'm way to loyal. There is another line on a job that's available to me. In terms of pay it pays more, however I'll make less because my current job pays me more benefits ($3,500 tuition) The only thing is I'm becoming burnt out on my current job since I only have one co-worker to help me run the store. This is where my loyalty comes in, my co-worker is on the verge of stepping down from management himself, but can't afford to do that right now with his wife and kid to support. I feel that my leaving would be the last straw and push him over the edge. So what's best for me might not be what's best for others. Normally I like to consider myself a selfish person but this goes against all of that and I think it bothers me.

My sister's surprise

My sister gave me a little surprise. Apparently her friend, who she has a secret crush on, had a mutual attraction to her. Without so much as really dating he proposed to her.

This is where I'm proud of her. I'm sure she was flattered and blushed but at the same time she turned him down. She loves him as a person but realized that where he was in life wasn't where she needed him to be to start a life time of commitment. The commitment isn't the problem, my sis tells me that lots of girls she knows have thrown themselves at him, girls much easier than my sister is I might add. None the less he's turned them down to pursue a potential relationship with my sis that didn't even promise a noncommital makeout session. The problem is getting him financially ready. Steady job and excess debts are a problem so he has 1 year. I hope he can get his act together, I like him.

Deja Vu

The other day a friend of mine called me up to tell me that there was a tribute to Betty Paige happening at Deja Vu. (gentleman's club) She and I have been club buddies and gone there together a few times. She likes the women I like the music and the scenery's not bad.

When I got there she was a little upset that for the past hour they'd played just rap and country. Then the girl she wanted to see wasn't working (more upset). This led to her being depressed in a club full of good music and ... strippers. so instead of sitting back and having a good time, we spent a couple of hours in there sorting out her issues. Oddest place I've ever had a talk on self worth. I don't know how to make raise her self confidence. She feels absolutely worthless, if I disagree she tells me I'm lying and of course if I agree I would be lying. Neither would help. She just needs to meet some good people. Of course then wasn't the time. You don't meet good people in Deja Vu, well except for me.

A note to Alcoholics

If there's one thing I don't appreciate, it's people who call into work because of a hangover. If you're going to drink have the courtsey to do it when you don't have to work the next day. Otherwise, suck it up, drink some 7up, take some asprin and come in.

I'm not really understanding of people calling in after being hung over. I've sucked it up. Sure I looked bad, smelled bad and even tasted bad. (could still tasted the beer) But my co-workers can count on me even if I'm grouchy and hard to be around.

By popular demand

Recently I've had many people ask me to write more. By going through all my comments I realized that this has become a popular blog for people so I've decided to rededicate myself to my journal. ... that is all.... for now...

Work work work

Recently a couple of my co-workers have jumped ship. This has left only 2 people working at the store. More overtime for me. My delimma is that I've always worked for others and not always for myself. It's time for me to move on as well, but my loyalty keeps me around for now. My guess is that I need to stop worrying about others and just go. Hopefully only 2 weeks left.
