Right now I'm at work, a little bored, since I've got the stuff done that I need to for now. My boss is out of the office today so I can't ask her if I'm missing anything. Makes me nervous because I don't want to forget to do something. Oh well, not much I can do about it at this point.

One of the guys on my team is a cutie. Very tall, fit, very nice. Amazingly enough I've managed not to make a fool of myself around him and have been acting "normal" (instead of getting all flustered, giggly, shy, overly flirtatious, etc) and it's a good feeling. I can't read if he might be romantically interested in me and I'm actually not even concerned. We have to work together and that means more to me than seeing if I can date him. That makes it sound like I've been really hoping we might go on a date, but that's not the case. I'm just enjoying getting to know him and the rest of the group and I'm not pushing anything or trying to make "something" happen. Scary, huh? I told my mom about the guy and she's like "You're flirting with him!" and "I'm beginning to think you go to work just to meet men!" Completely not true; the ones I'm attracted to are just the ones I talk about. Why go into details about the others if nothing interesting has happened? Anyway, I laughed and didn't take her comments seriously because I know I'm actually behaving differently this time - dare I say in a more mature manner? Might be going too far there.

For the record, there is a difference between flirting with and hitting on someone. Flirting is harmless, innocent fun that doesn't mean anything and doesn't go anywhere beyond the situation. Hitting on someone, however, is where you want to find out more about the person, even wanting to either go on a date and/or get the person into bed. Basically flirting is short-term focus and hitting on is long-term focus. That's my opinion at least.

I'm not doing much these days besides trying to work out a schedule that allows me to get everything done that needs to be done. And sleep. That's a tricky part right now seeing as how I have to get up to an alarm and can't just go to bed whenever I feel like it and get up whenever I drag myself out of bed. I think that's been the slowest part of my adjustment so far. It's akin to having the summer off and then starting up the new school year. Only I had over a year to "goof off" and now working 50+ hours a week. Such fun!
