Dating nonsence and more

more dating folly
A Pharmacist (I will call him Tom) that works on call (he has a full time job) and is new to the team. Tom was getting married and buying a house last I heard several months ago. Anyway, like everyone else in this world Tom was flirty with me. I'm used to it. I did wonder if Mrs. Tom would like that but she would not hear about it from me. Much later in the shift I asked him if he could please check the IV batch we needed to take on the run. He came around the corner to see the huge pile of IV's (the 22:00 batch is big) and looked overwhelmed. I told him if he checked them I would sort. We talked while working then he blurted out "We should hang out sometime." It was my turn to blurt out "Dude! You are married!" He explained that after the big engagement party and house buying they "got divorced". I had a lot of thoughts running through my head. The foremost was I would not want to date someone that is my superior at work - too weird. Tom is young (aren't they always) and now wont look at me when I talk to him the few times I have seen him. I can understand being embarrassed but be a fucking grown up! I keep it light and "normal" so maybe he will come around. Why?

In other news Wil has decided to go to community college with his best friend Danny. They will get a transfer degree then go to University together. I just need to figure out how to pay for it. A house would be really good now since Danny will be the driver to get the both of them to class. It would make sense to have Danny live with us. They are hoping to get the same classes together even though Danny started Spring quarter. I just don't see how I can pull that off and pay for college. I'm still not even benefited at work.

Recently it came to my attention that I had some items (mostly clothing) from my ex's. It made me wonder if there was anything to keeping something of an ex. I'm sure there are many reasons that women (or men) keep items from their ex. Revenge, trying to keep what they/ you had (felt), or in my case practicality. I have t-shirts from one (for sleeping in), boxer briefs from another (same), an I-pod, record albums (yes, LP's) along with mementos and photos. The things I have kept are not out of spite so I feel okay by it.
