Deep in thought
You know the day is off to an interesting start when you open your email ac to find an email waiting for you with a subject line that reads –
“Because you know so much”
And an opening line of –
“When I have figured out women, I will be far better off in this world - this I can assure you.“
Should I tell the poor bastard that he never will?? Anymore then we are ever going to work men out?? Or should I leave him with hope??
And why do people assume I know so much about relationships???
Considering my track record… pfft!
Although, as it happens, I could help in this instance which was quite good.
After we spoke for an hour or so – general chit chat and then talking about his woman, he asked me what I was up to & when I was coming home.
He was the second person to point out to me today that I may be better off just coming home now, rather then waiting a couple of months… I’m tempted… Lord knows, I am tempted…
Even better, he said that earlier today, he was looking at job op’s at the bank that he works at and seeing what would suit me – there are a few there that he thinks I would be interested in, all totally different to what I have done previously but that’s part of the fun and he also knows how much I have hated certain aspects of my previous jobs and the company that he works for not only pays better but has a great reputation.
It was pointed out to me twice today that by the time I get a job and get settled into it, it will be time to quit and come home.
Add those to the list of reasons to come home early…. It’s getting longer.
I do want to come home – so badly I can almost taste it, but I also know I am going to miss everyone over here terribly and I am still having fun.. Although not as much fun as I know is waiting for me when I get home... the first month (or 3) is going to be a little crazy I think. I don’t know that those are good enough reasons to stay longer though, because what am I actually accomplishing?

Just ensure that any decision is made in accordance to your wishes and not to appease others.
