Back "home" again...

I'm on the train heading back to DC after spending a weekend in Philly. The first time I actually spent some time here instead of driving up and back the same day. The past two times have been mainly to see a live show which coincidentally is the same band, Florence and the Machine two consecutive years.

I actually came up to spend time with a guy I finally met in person after having spoken/texted for the past seven months. He was in Baltimore not too long ago for a conference and with it being only an hour away, I decided to drive up and have lunch with him. I was initially planning on going Friday night but alas, that didn't happen since I got too tired by the time I got home from work. Ran late Saturday morning so we only got to hang out for close to two hours, since he had to catch a train back home. We opted for a diner, and just chatted and talked about random things: our backgrounds, work, hobbies, etc and music. It still makes me giddy when I meet people who listen to all sorts of music, and knows the obscure artists I like.

Since then, he's visited DC twice and I figured it'll be my turn to visit this time around. He's a really great guy, real loving and looks out for his loved ones, and has a good sense of humor and gets my jokes/has come backs to my sarcasm. And cute to boot, and a really great dresser. It just clicked when we met, and when we were talking about it one time, he said it scares him a bit but I get him. And I can say the same thing. It's interesting how life is sometimes, I've met guys ever since I moved to DC and the one I just connected with isn't even local but oh well, it's still a good thing.

Other than that, my best friend moved back to the area so that was nice. I never thought he would from the way that he used to talk about hating DC, but guess if you just look for things to see/do, it changes what you think of it. Or at least that's how I see it. True, time to time I hate it here but I think that happens when I don't make an effort of seeing what's going on in the area. So anyways, he's gonna be renting out the spare room in the house. I initially was gonna stay in it, and rent out the basement instead but after seeing all the stuff involved to rent it legally, figured I'll be better off staying in it to get some more room.

Work-wise, I'm still meh about it. I got promoted so my role has changed some and I'm now a lead in one of our section's team. There's just so much that's been going on the past few months: systems going down, learning my new job function and taking off some of my hats from my previous role, it gets to me at times that I get frustrated and just wanna leave. I'll give it sometime though and see how things go, and make changes to what I think can be improved. By default, I'm one to just up and leave if I feel something's not working, instead of trying to work things through. Anywho, the train's in DC now so will be signing off so I can go home and call it a day.
