So being the only girl in a job sometimes seems fun...other times it is a damn pain in the ass...I get left in the office because they think I can't handle peeing in a porta-john...I do more paperwork than I think I should....and everyone feels the need to give me weird words of wisdom.
Today during a meeting...I was given these nuggets of wisdom
"Don't assume that just because one of the construction guys asks you for drinks after work that his intentions are good"
"You have the pick of the litter"
I don't even know what to say to these sorts of things...like I'm not sure if they think I'm some sort of wholesome mindless person or if they really think of women in the traditional role and its weird for them
Like they're all pretty old school, like they all hold doors for me, don't swear (or try not to), I don't carry heavy things...like its just weird...part of me likes the special attention until they think I am an a wilting violet...I'm a steel magnolia damnit!
In other news, Chad and I went out for dinner yesterday and it was super cute...the dinner was no big deal we just grabbed pizza but it was like the way he went about it...he brought up being hungry on our fieldtrip but then left it alone...we had a trip for class to the power vista...seriously weird and unrelated to class but whatever...he picked me up for the fieldtrip and I navigated...so afterwards we're driving back and we have no idea where we are going and he was like well whatever happens, we're in this together and it was his tone that made me think he meant more.
So on the way back we're talking and talking about everything and I end up telling him all this crazy stuff and I was like OMG I probably shouldn't have told you all that and he says that I'm safe with him, that he'll keep all of my secrets...and again it's his tone...so he picks a place for dinner (which I really like, I generally don't care where I grab food but I hate when people are indecisive about it) so we walk in and order and they ask separate or together and he says put it all on my card and I look and give the obligatory "really face" and he's like Don't worry I've got it...so I say are you sure...and he's like yes of course you can grab it next time if you want (which of course I really don't haha)
So while they call our order and he jumps up to grab it and brings both orders back...and I stare a my pizza and say i wish I had a fork and he's liek oh I'll grab you one...like idk it was cute...maybe it's nothing... maybe you think its no big deal...or maybe you think its lame we went to some pizza shop near school but I think its really cute...and we just talked and joked and he drove me back to school. We kind of had a moment before I got out of the car but I can't be sure...
He did offer to drive me to the front door of Hayes so i wouldn't have to walk in the snow which was super adorable
Idk what to say...I just have a really good time with him, its just really easy, like I don't have to freak out about things...I mean I do freak out sometimes but we're always okay in the end...I really hope it works
