On my first day here, I hired an architect to put together a quick wall and plumbing capabilities on the lot so that I could have at least some privacy from the road, and the ability to use a toilet. While he worked on putting that together for me, I headed over to the library to read up on some careers and apply for some jobs. Luckily, Twinbrook has free taxis. Brilliant!
I applied for a job in the military and was given a job as a Latrine Cleaner. Ew. But, we all start somewhere, right? I got bored since there were no skill books at the library (imagine that!), so I decided to overclock a computer instead. I broke it, and promptly fixed it. The library staff didn't seem to mind.
I spent some time catching up on my romance novellas and then caved in to go check out the Wellness Center. I had to pump it up for work.
It didn't look like much upon entering, but once I wormed my way downstairs, I found out that it actually had a decent gym. So I hopped on the treadmill.
I've never been very coordinated so I ended up falling down. A lot. At first I pretended I was doing lunges of some sort, but there were others there that were having about as much luck as I was. Looks like Twinbrook is not made of the most athletic folks.
I saw an advertisement while working out about a Neighborhood Grill-a-Thon at the park, and headed over. There wasn't much going on, so I played some chess.
Then I snuck some burgers that were left laying around. Talk about Horrifying quality!!!! But, when you're hungry and low on money, you take what you can get.
While at the park, I ran into Bobby Sargeant, a fellow co-worker. We chatted for a bit about work and computers, and then I called it a night.
The next few weeks was all about getting up, going to work and coming back home to sleep. With eating and other necessary functions in between. I hated work. I was so excited about it until after my first day. I eventually stopped even trying to work while I was there, I was so miserable.
I'd spend my time after work going to the Boxcar to eat.
And I spent what little free time I had relaxing any way I could, usually by spending some time at the pool. You can just see how stressed and unhappy I was.
I finally decided that I wasn't made out for a career in the Military and quit. It felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders to hand in my uniform. I went to the library to search for a new job, and spent some more time fiddling with the computers.
After a few days of research, I decided upon a career working in the Spa Industry. It definitely seemed more relaxing! Since I was still in need of money, I spent a lot of time at the pool, mainly just to use the showers. I also spent a lot of time at the park. I was aching for company. I made some friends, especially Bill Copperfield, but we never really hit it off, despite how cute he was. So a few months went by, I bought a fridge, and I went to work.
No matter how hard I tried to make more friends or find that special someone, I always ended up defeated. One day, however, I bumped into someone while at the Boxcar for my usual dinner. He was so handsome, and he had the newest laptop put out by the top company! I was enchanted by him. So I started up a conversation about his computer. And we hit it off. Buddy Bailey. Even his name is gorgeous! We talked and I found out he was in Politics... and single!
I was so excited after meeting him that I couldn't sleep. So I instead decided to tinker with the toilet. Hey, would you sleep after seeing a face like that?
I called him every morning when I got up and we would chat constantly. Weeks it went on like this. I was too nervous to ask him out for a date.
I finally did, though. Ask him out on a date, that is. We met up at the Boxcar for some drinks and dinner.
We then had a wonderful time just sitting on the swings and chatting. It was so perfect.
When the night was over, we hugged and went on our way. Of course we chatted for days afterwards about how amazing our date was and that we really should do it again.
In the meantime, I did some odd-and-end repair jobs for the locals which helped improve my handiness skills.
A few weeks later we decided to go on another date. This time a more formal one. We met up at the Chateu Restaurant and had an amazing time.
We held hands for the first time. I'm falling for him hard. Really hard. I think he's the one. I need to talk to him and confess my attraction. But I'm so nervous! I'll work up the courage in the next few days and keep a record, regardless of what happens.
