Over the last couple of days I've been catching up with a lot of friends. Mainly Clint and H. Clint has called me everyday for 3 days now just spilling his guts all over the place. He's been alluding to a couple things for a while now and finally told me. Sometimes it's really fun to be able to say I told you so, sometimes it's a little sad. Our conversations have yielded both.
H and I have been texting a lot, I hate talking to him on the phone. He always thinks I'm mad at him, he cannot decipher the inflection of sarcasm in my voice. For a man who can speak 2 languages fluently my sarcasm shouldn't be that hard to notice. He finally fessed up that he's been hooking up with someone in NE. I really don't mind, but apparently his Missy did. I'm not sure when any of this happened but he told me today they've not spoken in a while. I think it may have been around 4th of July when I was out of town. Again, it's kinda fun to say I told you so, but with him I restrained myself. Knowing full well that he hates how right I was about that whole situation. I think it explains why some of his behaviors have changed towards me.
I also talked to a great friend of mine Jim. He's from ATL and has a wife and 2 daughters I love! What started out as a botched conference call turned into he and talking for 30 min. He's ready to be done with the traveling and has recently applied for a job closer to home. I'm crossing my fingers he gets it. Family is always first and based on our talk he's struggling with it. We chatted about people we know and where they are now. Amazing how many are not happy even with moving up in the company. He gave me some good advice about when I interview again as we both know positions are coming. It's been announced 500 more people are being hired which means more trainers aren't far behind!
The more people I talk to, the more I know, the more I care, the more I'm ready to be home. I'm ready to have my nucleus back, to have some normal, to have my nieces and nephew not associate me with the phone. The choices I make over the next 2 years are the choices that lead me to my path of happiness. I've got great people around me along the way, but those that really matter have always been at home, waiting for me to cure my wanderlust.
