another useless blog

I made a mini-promise to myself that I would not talk about my job anymore after my last blog entry...or at least keep my comments at a minimal. So I will do that. I actually almost got in trouble last week for not telling co-workers that they should wear a seatbelt while driving. Absolutely unbelievable! I'm speechless...almost. The argument is that since I am the safety coordinator and wearing a seatbelt is NOT common sense...(yes, according to the boss of my manager, it is NOT common sense to wear a seat belt) then perhaps I was slightly to blame that one of my co-workers did not tell the client that she was driving to wear a seatbelt during a recent auto accident. I know that sentence has poor structure, but I hope you got the point. By the way, I live in Massachusettes. In this state, it is the law to wear a seatbelt. Must I, as the safety coordinator, explain every law that this state has? Must I explain every possible safety hazard, regardless of how ridiculously obvious it is? Hey, don't put your finger in a blender when it is use! Don't put your hand in the toaster! Where would I draw the line of what is common sense and what is not with these kind of people? OK...that was much longer than expected.

I am actually in a great mood. I had a good day at work and got tons of work done! I was also able to eat a lot of calories too! Yes I know you all hate me, but I am trying to actually GAIN weight, so i am trying to eat 3100 calories a day. And it is very difficult for me! Tomorrow, I am hoping to get onto a more purposeful topic, but for now I feel like talking about ME.

One last thing. I hung out with Melinda yesterday. I had tons of fun. She's a great girl! I think I am amazed at how easy it is for her to "consider others higher than herself" and put others first. She also told me that some of our friends think highly of me. It's funny how I can be so encouraged to know that I am thought highly of by close friends. It's not that I even try to impress people, but I have been rejected by girls many many times. When people that are close tell me that they think highly of me, it is encouraging! I also heard, through the grapevine, that a bunch of my friends in college (the girls) would often wonder who I would marry, thinking that the girl that I marry will be someone very special (implying perhaps that I am quite special myself:)). When I find myself alone, thoughts like that can help give me hope.
