Bigger and Nicer in Texas

Today I had to find an orthodontist to have my wires trimmed off my top teeth.  I had a new wire and chains put on last week and the excess is putting a hole in my cheek.  I found an ortho near my office and she was THE nicest woman.  Trimmed me up and ground down what was left.  I feel like I have a new mouth.  The hole in my cheek is already healing up.  This is good considering all the talking I'll be doing the next 2 days.

It was an average Monday at work today, except I think all the boys got 3 days worth of talking into one day.  MAN they all had a lot to say and I'm the best captive audience they could find.  Actually I think I'm the best secret keeper and I don't judge.  I've made some really bad decisions in my time so it's all fair game to me.

One of the main ideas surrounding today was situational friends.  This job forces us into places and with people we'd never normally encounter or befriend.  Today this became evidently clear with a recent acquaintance.  It would appear he's been betraying others and I'm so not cool with that.  He has short man syndrome or a Napoleon Complex, whatever you want to call it.  He's mean and always feels someone owes him something.  I do not enjoy this mentality and have been avoiding as much interaction with him as possible.  The negativity he exudes is very off-putting.  He wants to claim he's all hipster and left wing and mother earth, but really he's another douchey hipster trying to be ironic.  I'm sure he thinks I'm a suck up northern bitch, but I'm OK with that.  Our karma together is not good.

The other weirdness of today is H telling me that he compares his relationship with Missy to the one he has with me, except we've not had any romantic encounters.  He said this after I asked if he had started talking to her about not being in a relationship.  His response is that he's dropping hints, but he's planning on going to Memphis to visit after he's released or flying her to Dallas to hang out another weekend.  Ummmmmmm  in almost the same breath he alludes that my companionship means a lot to him and that it's not quite the same as Missy, then gives me weird flirty eyebrows.  Um what the hell.  I've never ever once given him any indication that I want a physical relationship with him.  The closest I got was Friday night when we were out.  In between bars we were waiting for Don and Becky to get out of their car.  I was standing behind him and gave him a hug and rested my head on his shoulder/back.  He was holding my hands across his chest.  We stood like this for a while talking and that was about it.  Just so ultimately confused about the whole situation.  I really wish I could just be making this all up in my head and reading into things too much, but I'm not.  I swear it really did happen.  That awkward moment of maybe if we make out I can have more or we can be more or maybe I just want to make out with you.  Stupid freaking men.

I'm pushing this all out of my mind until Wed when I get back from my interview.  Until then it's all about the questions!  I'm excited to get back to corporate tomorrow to have dinner with some great friends and shop at Von Maur!  Momma wants some new shoes.
