West Coast Training and...I Flirted!
An important training conference opportunity came to my attention, and I had to take it (my school agreed), so this weekend, I'm traveling to the West Coast! Sweat. I'm excited about the training experience in itself, but also for the travel...did I mention to the West Coast! And, again, the autonomy...I can basically do what I want, and it's my (sizable) budget. Not that I am frivolous about it. It will definitely benefit our program and the college. But just that I can do that and not so much ask permission as simply inform the higher ups of my plan is new to me...and awesome (and sometimes intimidating that all the decisions are on me). But it's a trust I have earned, and feel honored they value and respect my judgement to make decisions as I see fit. And that trust serves to motivate me even more.
So West Coast here I come. Only been there once before, and it was great. And it's a very large coast (obviously), so I will get to experience a different part of the coast (I know...vague...sorry).
Ex was cool in supporting the trip and adjusting our schedule. I do it for her training conferences as well--we are pretty good like that. It benefits our careers and thus, by extension, our boys.
Should finalize the plans today.
On a semi-related note, I needed a hair cut and wanted to look good for the trip. I happened to have the same stylist who cut my hair prior to my interview. And she remembered me and the interview. And she is cute as hell. And we just had this really fun time talking and laughing (and dare I say flirting?). Felt natural to bounce corny jokes and quips off each other and talk about our lives. And did I mentioned she's really cute and single I (think). Soooo...I decide to pursue it further in what I thought was a pretty slick way (for me anyway). She seemed flattered and interested (I think). Not sure if anything will come of it. I hope so, but no expectations. In any case, it was just a fun experience, and for that, I am glad. And if something further doesn't work out, I may have gained a new friend. We'll see. I have another slick move (move?) planned that should make her happy. And the thought of that makes me happy...no strings attached.
