New Career

I've decided to stop calling what I do a job and instead call it a career. I have been in this field for 9 years now it must have moved up from a job to a career by now?! Anyways I started yesterday. What a whirlwind of a day. It was good though. I was extremely busy and have lots to learn but it isn't going to be as bad as I thought. I actually do know how to develop and write a contract and a schedule A and figure out the budget and account for what money went where and how I can move a bit of money around. I am sure you all are wondering what the heck I am talking about but so far it seems like this position has enough of the administration stuff to keep me happy and enough of the hands on stuff to also compliment the job. I already know that I am going to have some struggles with one of my staff. He disappoints me though because he and I had a personal relationship outside of work and it is very apparent that he has let the professional relationship damage the personal. Yesterday he came into my office and threw down some papers, didn't say hello, good morning, God Bless you or anything, so it is going to be a struggle. I am also looking very forward to the fact that every second weekend I have 4 days off. That is going to be very nice. If all goes well it looks like my days off will correspond with Dave's.
On that note I guess I should fill people in on what is going on there. A few weeks ago both he and I were out at the bar and had both drank too much and I told him that I wasn't going to chase him if he wanted me he would have to pursue me. Fair enough. Oh, I also got a little fiesty and was dirty dancing with one of his friends, I did tell him though that I wasn't trying to make him jealous and I wasn't. I just am like that when I'm out. So anyways I also asked him if he was going to take me home that night and he said no because he had to get up really early and go to the city. I said fine and told him to text me if he wanted and to have a good rest of the weekend. I must have sounded snotty because he responded with "don't be like that and don't say that." I wasn't being snotty I was okay that we weren't going home together, I don't expect it everytime that I seem him that he is going to have time for me. Anyways I hadn't heard from him since. I was stressed about it but I thoguht sticking to my guns was the right decision. He came home this past weekend and didn't call. That was a first in a very long time. I saw him once, I said hello and kept walking. Miss Calm, Cool and Collected. Well I thought about it and I wanted to text message him as a friend. On Tuesday morning I was in the bathroom, of all places and I just realized, ask him if he's taking the little man trick or treating and do it now. So I did. Not there in the bathroom I waited until I was in my office. Well within 2 minutes he responded. Then we text for about 15 minutes then he said he had to go and he would text me later, I thought yeah right, I'm getting the blow off. Nope, at 1pm he text me again and we continued all afternoon. So we are back to where we were. That is that.
I also posted a few pics of Madison all dressed up and a picture of Jayden too. Hope everyone had a great halloween!!
