Many an update
Oh man, today was the craziest day I have had since moving to the Bay, ugh! So naturally, I have a ton of updates for you all.
So where to start? I had to go to orientation for the library even though I have been working there for over 2 months now. Freakin lame, but I get paid for it. I ditched out 2 hours early to go see the China protest, but ended up going home to get my passport instead, as I had to fill out paperwork for my new job. So the HR woman said that I would not need to bring my car, as I was just doing paperwork, so I decided it would be nice to bike into downtown Oakland. Nice. So After doing my paperwork she is like, "Well, Steve (my boss) would love it if you could come in today for some training." And I am like, sure, but I have to be somewhere at 6, so I need to leave at 5.
So I go and meet Bernard, the dude I will be working with first. He was really nice and happy to be working. I am really happy to be starting this job, I can really tell I am going to enjoy it. Bernard rocks, Steve rocks, I rock. So after I went all hippie on Steve for a while about local produce, he said he respected me a lot because I hold all my values, but still eat meat. Nice. I leave at 5 to get home, but realize I dont really know where the fuck I am (Trader Joe's near the Lake) so I ride off into the hills. After some tough biking, I find my way and am home in half an hour.
Onto my "date"! So I was cruising through craigslist a while back when I come across a posting about a girl who has just had her car stolen. Shit. I open it to find out she has lost all her CDs in the transaction, and is looking for people to hook her up with stuff if they can. Everything she wants I have from a copy of Steph's harddrive, so I decide to pay it forward, and email her. She is happy to hear from me, and offers to make me dinner in exchange for the cds. We agree on Wednesday evening. Mind you this doesn't seem like a date to me, as I have no idea who she is, but I agree to it anyway. Sooooooo, I go over after getting home laptop in tow, and drive to her place. She lives in the hills above El Cerrito. Let me tell you, BEST FUCKING VIEW EVER. I really want to have sex with this view in the background, is that weird? Anyway, she makes me a nice dinner (she is vege, nice) and I burn her music. I felt we clicked really well for some reason, she was really nice/awesome. After a while, she tells me I can come over whenever I want, and then offers to cook me dinner next Wednesday so we can hang out again. Nice. So while I have no idea if she is interested in me, at least I made a new friend! Oh, and she is a math grad student at CAL, hot. I have been thinking about straight up asking her out, but have decided to be patient. I have another date this weekend anyway
Finally. Ok, so we are now trying to decide who will get the shack in the back to live in, and I have decided it will be me. Val is the only other person interested, and she is iffy, so I think I will just do it. Baller.
Life is good!
