my ex girlfriend's happy hour birthday party is after work today.

i'd like to go home though, because a) i have an important fantasy football draft, b) my parents are away for the weekend and i have the home to myself and c) i really just don't want to go because i don't like hanging out with her too much or it gets weird.

my problem is she's part of my group of friends and all my other buddies will be there. so i feel bad not going. but i really would rather drink by myself then submit myself to hanging out with people who i've grown apart from.

i'm leaning towards not going.

also, i had an interview with fox news today and it went really well. i told my job i had a doctors appointment. i've been where i am for only about 2 months now, and i'd feel bad leaving, but i really am not happy with what i'm doing here and want to get back into the journalism field. i shouldn't feel so bad, right?

thing is, a lot of stuff has been dumped on me, so i'd feel bad leaving them with all of it. but i really don't know if i can do it to the capacity it needs to be done.

EDIT: the executive vice president of fox news wants to phone interview me monday a.m. i was going to meet with him today but he was too busy and i needed to get back here. i think i've got this job locked up.

But if your blue days are increasing in frequency, pay attention to what is going on in and around you. Are you...

* Letting go?

* Gaining weight?
* Yelling at the kids?
* Watching TV constantly?
* Sleeping in later?
* Withdrawing from people?
* Dropping out of organizations?
* Spending a lot of time with your thoughts?
* Drinking more than usual or drinking alone?

do you really think so? i took the emphasis of typing three "bads" at the end of his post as a subconscious way of convincing himself not to get with her.

i'm not attracted to her like i once was. she's still a very good looking girl, so of course there is a minor bit of attraction, but of course that happens when you drink 15 beers.

Don't date chicks from your circle of friends. It's as simple as that.

If/when you break up, well, now you have a big problem as you have quite obviously discovered.

For that matter, if you're in college, don't hook up w/ chicks that you have classes with.

And don't date girls from work either.

That is all.
