So I've been so crazy stressed out. I think tomorrow will at least be like the end of it. I think. Most of it is job driven. I have 3 roles right now that I'm up for. The first would be until May-ish and I'd be on a tiny team and I'd get to travel internationally (but it'd be based in DC). The second would be until Feb and would be also in DC. The third would be until Jan and is in Denver. Le sigh. I'll report back on this tomorrow.
In unrelated news, grandpa Wade got fired yesterday afternoon. For those of you who don't know, he was the head coach of my beloved Dallas Cowboys. I saw this coming, especially after the blowout at Green Bay. But it's still sad.
At least it's almost 5 and I can have a drink.

I Have The Tony Romo Hangover
Seriously, I really miss him. My poor poor team is just being dessimated by the packers and I am just depressed. So lets just keep that feeling up. Well maybe not depressed, just really over it all.
Please read through this text conversation from yesterday/last night with the office man here: (this was after a 7:30am gchat that I got from him...no I'm not awake at 7:30 on a Saturday morning.)
Me: Hey, sorry I saw your chat earlier but I was still asleep. Then I overslept (oops).
Him: Hey, what are you up to?
Me: Took a last minute trip to Charlottesville with 2 friends. You going out tonight?
Him: Not any more. Had a date but I canceled it this morning. (Editor's note: WTF? I mean, I guess you just made it clear that we're just friends, but WHY would you tell me this?)
Me: Oh, why'd you do that?
Him: Realized she's too boring...Really pretty but no personality (Editor's note: Yet again, WTF?)
Me: Nice of you to not lead her on then.
Him: Thanks, I try. :p (Editor's note: VOM, emoticons)
Him: What's in Charlottesville?
Me: UVA
Him: Lol hanging out with the students? (Editor's note: obviously.)
Me: Nope. The bars.
Him: Ah Cool.
Him: How old are you btw? (Editor's note: If he had been so internet stalking-ish as I was, he'd already know. Hello, I found out how old he was via Linked In. I'm pretty fucking awesome at internet stalking.)
After this I found out he was actually 34, so I was a year or so off. Whatever. Also, is he going to hold it against me that I'm younger? I guess I was a little nervous with the age difference, but like, is that something you really deal with over text? I realize we just met but even for friends, I don't ask questions like that unless I'm looking at the person.
We've chatted a bit today but the more time goes on, the less I am interested. I don't want to talk bad about him. He seems super nice and very laid back, but honestly....uuuugggghhhhhhh.
If I was reading this, I'd probably just laugh in my face.

100 Tabs Coming Soon To A Bar Near You
Yesterday, katmcd, MB and I took an impromptu trip down to Charlottesville. We spent the day in a historical campus tour and then walked around the campus. It was so beautiful. The leaves had all changed color and it happened to be Parent's Weekend. We walked all over campus and took pictures and just really enjoyed taking a mini-break from DC. Of course we also went to the bookstore. I had lost my old longsleeved UVA during the Army 10-Miler so I bought a new one and then we had a major find. LILLY PULITZER KOOZIES. And to make it so much better, there were 3 styles, all $5. Mine has gators on it, one is even playing the saxophone. They are so random and so pink, but so incredible.
After our afternoon of walking, we tried to get my car out of the garage so we could go to my mom's place, change clothes and then head back to UVA and go to the bars. But because of all of the parents, we couldn't get out, so instead we went to have a beer at the Virginian. After that beer, we decided to just go to car, grab our clothes for the night, change and then repark my car closer to the bars. We would forgo going to the apartment completely.
First we went to the Irish bar and then we went back to the Virginian. I was really rude to this girl from Arlington, and I really didn't mean to be, I was just not in the mood to chat with her. 10 minutes later, she was crying over some boy. I guess she was fine. I don't know, like, if you're going to cry, step outside, or go to the bathroom. Don't just sit at the bar making some big scene. Other than that, and the fact that this fucking bitch spilled her damn cranberry fucking vodka cocktail all over my cream colored sweater and ruined it, we actually had such a great time. It was really relaxing. And cheap. And we had Sonic. De-fucking-licious.
Now it's just up to the Cowboys to hopefully try and win against the pack tonight.

Time for a Quickie
I'm pretty tired and it's been a long day. I'm sitting here watching the new Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. This party for a 4 year old is costing like $50,000. That's just ridiculously incredible and just horribly irresponsible. I mean, I'm pretty awful with money because I love clothing, but this is just so stupid.
The lunch date was nice. Nothing to write home about just yet but he opened doors for me, including the car door, and payed. I think I was awkwardly nervous because I felt like I was talking a hell of a lot. I guess that's just what happens when you first start getting to know someone. I also can really see the age difference, and one major red flag is that he's been here forever, but has very few friends. So I'm just taking it for what it is, a nice guy. And he said that I was pretty. Honestly, it's the little things.
Tomorrow I go in to drop off my badges and then chat quickly with my boss about my feedback that he's given. Sigh, one thing coming to a close. I hope I get this one opportunity with my company working in Rosslyn. I hope I hope I hope.

An Open Letter to Karma.
Dear Karma,
Oh my, you do have a sick sense of humor. What made that man(the one I met in the parking lot at work last week) leave a note on my car asking me out to lunch? Why did he have to be from an office I'm leaving on Friday? I have to thank you though, because if this guy sucks or is boring, I never have to see him again. I also get a little laugh out of the fact that this happened the same day I write like my one post ever about relationships and dating. Oh silly karma, I mean, you're not really a bitch, but you are kind of ridiculous.
So, thanks for the random lunch date that I'll be going on Thursday. If nothing else, I'll get out of the office for an hour.
Sincerely,
Sarg
Totally unrelated, but equally important is that someone katmcd and I were in our sorority with, like at the same time, was on Millionaire Matchmaker last night. You can read about it here. (although please excuse the picture that she uses from 2004. I look so horrible and young.)
Also unrelated and maybe not quite as important is that today I told MB that I am ready to set up my mini xmas tree already. It's just so cold now and I'm just ready to see it up and listen to xmas music, and hopefully not light my tree on fire like I did last year. Whoops.

I Want You, I Need You, Oh Baby, Oh Baby
Everyone knows dating in the District and surrounding area is next to impossible. I never been able to figure out why, but many people come here out of college and are looking to have fun, or they're already coupled up with someone not from the area. In my personal experience, all of my 3 relationships in DC, including the one in college, all started out with a drunken hook up. Next thing I knew, I was in a relationship. Every time. So apparently, I'm not helping this situation.
I read multiple blogs talking about the horrible dating scene and it seems to get them down. To that I just have to say, keep your heads up or just keep drinking.
I have to tangent for a hot second because I realize I never really talked about what happened with my last relationship over this summer. I still won't go into all of the details, but I think knowing about these events will help make it a bit more clear why I think the way I do. And if it doesn't, well, too bad. This guy basically stormed into my life, practically lived with me, told me he loved me 3 weeks into it, and then started to get mad at me for everything including losing at bocce (on the beach no less), and beer pong. The weekend of World Cup of Beer happened, and he got so mad at me that I wouldn't cheat on this game for him. Basically, think of the child game, Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Now exchange "tail" with "baby", and "donkey" with "Ronaldo". Same exact game though. I was judging, his team was playing, they lost. He wanted me to rule the other team disqualified. He then stormed off and wouldn't talk to me the rest of the day. We all went to the bar, and we got into another fight. Then he disappeared for 2 days, called me at work and dumped me over the phone. Ridiculous? I think so.
Moving right along, have you ever read the Date Lab from the Washington Post Magazine? This shit is hilarious, especially when 2 people really have nothing in common. But it can be cute when they actually get a relationship out of it. I think the best though is that I actually saw someone I knew during college on it. I wish I knew him well so I could ask him more about it, or I really wish one of my friends would do it. Date Lab is also a great time waster if you're bored. Maybe I'll secretly submit an application for one of my friends. That could be fun.
On another side note, I'm pretty much looking for anything that can occupy my time in the next few months. Knowing full well that I don't travel for Thanksgiving (I have it with my little fake family here), and that I won't be going "home" for Christmas (I'm too old, an only child, and my mom's a newlywed....is there something awkward about those 3 things?), and my sports seasons are on hiatus until late January, I'm going to be in need of a time occupier. So far I've signed up for another 10-Miler in VA Beach in December. Maybe I'll actually train for this one.....yeah probably not. I'm far too lazy and I hate running. Then what? The holidays are fastly approaching (gross right?) and I'm just still confused on where the hell 2010 went. It seems like just yesterday was NYE 2009 where I was being called by my friend Justin at 6am asking me to come get him while he was roaming the streets of upper Georgetown in a hospital gown. Don't ask.
One other thing.....OH HEY WINTER.
EDIT: 3 other quick bits
1. On Thursday, I called this guy who is consistently rude to me in my office a jackass to his face. I felt avenged and it was wonderful, although not professional.
2. Today, I released Tony in fantasy football. I've never not owned him...even when he was injured before, in all of my leagues, in all 3 years that I've played. This is so sad.
3. Randy Moss....are you seriously getting released from the Vikings. YOU ARE SO DUMB.

I Wish I Was A Little Bit Taller
I wish I was a baller.
Today has been really stressful. I found out that I'm rolling off of my project on Friday (THANK FUCKING GOD). But now that means I have to find a new project, and hopefully quick. I'm really looking forward to moving on because I know what other great clients and projects my company has. Another plus side...this girl is working from home today. I just finished a nice work out (first in a few days...whoops) and am just thinking that it looks so beautiful outside. My balcony has the nicest view of Arlington and Falls Church and I just get to see all of the trees with their leaves changing colors. Makes me really wish I had a fireplace. The yule log channel doesn't really give that warming feeling so well.
Yesterday, I couldn't drag my ass out of bed/off my couch to support the Marine Corps Marathon runners, but I did manage to pull it together and get to the bar for the Cowboys game. What a depressing season it's been. With Tony out, we're just going downhill. Granted, I will still be at the bar every week getting harassed for liking America's Team. I mean, I'm from Dallas, just get over it already.
Also, one of my favorite movies ever is on. Meatballs, the one with Bill Murray from the 70s. I have NO clue why I like this movie, but I really just do.
I wish it was the weekend, I'm ready to get drunk, and since I haven't done many happy hours lately, I can't justify sitting around my apartment having a cocktail with Firefly vodka and passing out. Here's hoping.
