The second entry

Thursday,

So the house is finally picked up and the boxes recycled. I sold the special ones online for $20 which is a fraction of what I paid for them. It bought me and Ae a dinner at the local Tex-Mex joint just down from the house. I had enchiladas, Ae ate Tacos.

These last few weeks at work have been challenging. I am a teacher at a local community college and I teach trade work. Electrical mostly. But they were bringing in a new method of contacting the students and engaging them and it was absolutely broken software. In 6 months when these students end the class they will finally have it working correctly. Until then its butcher through.

The specialist from the software company is this very modest but adorable programmer. I normally avoid flirting at work, especially with girls with technical knowledge. They get hounded and belittled for not being in a 'feminine' job that I just dont want to look like some kind of creepy guy hitting on them.

I THINK maybe she flirted at me. If it happens again tomorrow I will try to flirt back in the most work-appropriate way possible. I hate to get fired for talking to the onsite engineer.

The therapist thinks I need to be branching out. He says my students are not enough social interaction. They are more than enough on most days. I go home mentally exhausted usually from trying to engage and interact with so many people.

Either way, maybe I can get her out for dinner. That would be nice. Having someone else cook for me would be a welcome change. I will report back on what happens.
