Those other dramas.....

I always intended for this blog to primarily be about my (mis)adventures in dating, but wanted to leave it open to writing about life in general. So here we go...some of life's other dramas.

As some of you know, I recently lost the best uncle in the world, my Uncle Joe. He is greatly missed! He tragically passed away quite unexpectedly after suffering stroke followed by a short stay in the hospital. He never regained consciousness and my brave and amazing Aunt Ann was there to make the decision to remove the ventilator and let God's will be what it may. I'm most thankful that I got to spend a good amount of time with Uncle Joe while I lived in Boston, as he lived just north of the city. He was a kind, patient, generous man...and it's simply not fair that he is no longer with us. I cherish the time I got to spend with him. I could write paragraph after paragraph about him...but for now I will leave it at that.

In addition, while healing emotionally from the loss I started a short term contract position which was followed shortly thereafter with a job offer for a permanent position with an interactive CRM agency downtown. I'm now three (stressful) weeks into the new gig and I'm simply exhausted. I'm dealing with a learning curve, no training program, and a tough role for a PITA client. Generally I can say that I do like it, and I work with some amazing people. More on the job front later. I do have to say that I'm disappointed that my new work situation is cutting into my dating time, I'm simply too tired to put that much effort forth in finding "the one" after 5pm. Still (always) searching though!

Note: lots of attractive men work in Downtown Denver. Eye candy...yes, please. Thank you!
