You know what's ass backwards? Nah...scratch that. I'd actually started typing this whole long thing about ass backwards bullshit I've been noticing lately but that would've come off sounding passive aggressive sooooo I decided against it.
There is much going on in the life of Ms. T. Some of it good, some of it stressful, some worrisome but...all of it..? Busy busy busy! I feel like I've been absent from the things in my life that bring me solace or comfort...like taking pics, really enjoying a jog and not just 'getting it done' because it has to get done, or spending time with my sweetie. But I know this busy period will eventually pass...and hopefully great things will come of it. Ms. T is working on a lot of goals both personally and professionally.
Just so fucking tired all the time lately!
This pic was a Sunday Selfie taken a couple of weeks ago, posted to my flickr. Husband said recently that my ass was looking good. Makes every squat I've been doing soooo worth it. He's pretty stingy with compliments, with everyone really...so when he says something complimentary, he really means it. So I'll take it :) And a few weeks ago, he told me (unsolicited btw) how proud he is of me for the challenging things I have to endure for my job...and it made me so, so happy. I can't even describe how much that meant to me.
All that aside, although I do work out regularly and am in ok shape, I have a love/hate relationship with fitness. In other words, I mostly hate doing it, but I love the results such as fitting better in my clothes, looking better with them off ;) and feeling healthier. I suppose it evens out. I do feel guilty when I don't workout though...
ANYWAY.
In other news, I responded to Jessica again today. I just couldn't help it. I'd been successfully avoiding the man who thinks my name is Jessica for the past three weeks by pretending to be occupied as I walk by him, i.e. pretending to look at my phone, pretending to be talking on my phone, etc. just to avoid conversation, eye contact or any interaction. Today as I was walking across the platform to my usual spot where I wait for my train, I hadn't engaged in my usual "look busy activities" and suddenly I had heard "JESSICA! JESSICA!" coming from behind me.
And sure enough, there he was...waving and yelling and smiling. So I did the most logical thing and waved and yelled hello back. This is never gonna end, I think...
People are strange. And I guess that includes me too.
And then the other day at work, we had to call 911 for an EDP on the premise. So the cops came to contain and subdue the person to get them ready for the ambulance to take this person to the psych ER for evaluation. It seemed like FOREVER until the ambulance arrived. So, while we were waiting, I was standing there, talking with the cops only when they asked me questions. One cop was asking me questions pertinent to the situation at hand. The other cop...who actually happened to be cute...kept talking bullshit, saying "Do I know you from somewhere?" And insisting he's seen me before. Truth is, he probably has answered 911 calls before from me or my workplace and probably that's where he has seen me.
In any event, I don't know if he was hitting on me, genuinely curious if we'd met before, or just trying to make convo. But I was like "REALLY DUDE???" You really tryin' to have this conversation NOW while someone is having a psychiatric decompensation??
Yeah. I dunno. Too bad he was cute. Aaaand he was probably 28. So fucking young.
Ah. The curse of the 28-year olds for me lately. Women and men who are 28 need to stay away from me. Lol. Especially the men. Lordy. I. can't. even.
Wow, sounds like you have an interesting life. Good luck with the "Jessica Man". Maybe you should start calling him some other name, or maybe a different name each day? or would that be just too evil? ;)
@baznman oh, hey, Baz! It's possible he knows my actual name and messing with me...but unlikely. He says it with such conviction! Lol. And I swear I've never met a person who addresses people by name as much as he does. Kind of a shame I've let it go this far because while I do avoid him in an effort to not be called Jessica, I do enjoy talking to him otherwise....
@cgarner thank you, Charlotte! I've been working on it lol.
@tonydebont Nice to hear from you, Tony! And thank you.
@becksphotography Thanks for your kind comment, Beck! :)
@jase_again I couldn't agree with you more. Haha. Thanks for checking out my tags.
@zosimasy Maybe I should call him "Jessica Man". Lol. Calling him by a different name each day might be just a bit too cruel :P
I wonder if the dude knows your name really isn't Jessica, and is just saying it, to see if you are ever going to correct him?
