Update

I thought that I should start to update my blog, seeing as how I did create one and whatnot. Thus:

I sit here, thinking of the newest attraction in my life. It is 0657 Zulu, and I am exhausted. I was not supposed to be at work today, however a coworker did not show up, and my management asked me to cover for him. The only good thing about that is that I got to see this new girl.

As usual, I asked the few people that I trusted for some quick advice on how to proceed. As I sat on a break at work one day, I discussed this with another coworker who informed me that she would be more than willing to let the girl that I like, we shall call her Sheep (for that is the meaning of her Hebrew name), know that I like her. A few days later I receive the response that Sheep is not interested in being anything more than friends at this point.

It is disappointing, but not to be unexpected. This has happened many times before, and it will not cease to happen, I am sure. I find, however, some comfort in the way that her answer was presented to me: "at this time." I interpret this to mean that there may still be a small sliver of hope in the future. Sheep may interpret this as a way of saying "No" later, but at this point, who really cares?

I am constantly being reminded that it is a bad idea to date a coworker. That is a fine and dandy rule to live by....if there are other options. I notice that there are very few, very limited places that one may come across a potential mate: religious organisations (i.e. churches, synagogues, mosques), places of employment, schools, and the "nightclub scene" (i.e. bars, clubs, etc.). The Youth Director at my religious establishment has placed dating members of our "Youth Group" as an "off-limits" area, I am not yet old enough (legally) to enter nightclubs (nor do I have the desire to), nor am I enrolled at any educational institution. That only leaves my place of employment. Oh well.
Or, I forget the technology sector, I could use the Internet. Oddly enough, the few females that I meet online I end up getting along with smashingly. The problem with continuing the relationship into the "real world" is the fact that they often live very far from myself, such as the Midwest or the Western seaboard (I am currently residing on the Eastern seaboard).

Nonetheless, I sit, enjoying a can of TaB, wondering where my life will lead me. Perhaps I should apply to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology? In about a year's worth of time, that is approximately where I would want to be anyway, far from home and close to a friend.
