Get Real with Yourself to Find a Real Partner

Filed under: advice

Everyone is looking for their perfect match partner, the one that will make them “complete”. Unfortunately “perfect match” and “making complete” aren’t ways to identify who the right candidates are. In order to find your perfect match, you first have to get real with the kind of person you are looking for and how you see them fitting into your life. It might take you a couple of hours to get to the bottom of what your ideal partner should be like, but consider this an investment because a couple of hours soul searching now could save you a lot of wasted dates going out with the wrong kind of people.
Find some time when you are guaranteed not to be interrupted. Take the phone off the hook, tell friends and family members who may call around that you’re busy, buy a bottle of wine and run a bubble bath if that’s what it takes to get you in a romantic mood, then pick and pen and notepad and you’re all ready to get started.
Write a list of attributes you usually find attractive in potential dates, both physical and non-physical. You don’t need to worry about ordering these for now, just make sure you have a note of things you notice when you’re out for a night on the town.
Next make a list of things that you really can’t stand. Perhaps you hate guys with chat-up lines, or those who smoke. Maybe you prefer the non-tactile to the tactile. Again, this list should be physical and non-physical things that turn you off.
Now here comes the tricky part. What are you looking for in a perfect partner? What kind of person would your perfect match be? Would they be employed for example? Would they own a car? What about children – how do you feel about that issue? What about education? What about personality? Friends? Activities and interests? All of these things make up a rounded person, and you need to think about what kind of rounded person will fit right with you.
Lastly, and probably most importantly, the deal breakers. Supposing you’ve met someone who fits into all of your other criteria, but then they drop a bombshell on you and that’s the end of the relationship. Consider what things are so important to you that you would overlook everything else because of this one (or more) issue. This could include already married, criminal record, reputation of cheating, caught out on a lie, religion, political opinion, weight/health problem – whatever it is that you think you couldn’t overlook despite everything else being perfect, this is the list to put it on. If you meet someone, this is the first list you need to consider because otherwise you risk investing a lot of time and emotion into a relationship that’s dead in the water before it begins.
So there you go, now you know how to identify your perfect match. You use the perfect partner list in order to find the right type of person, the deal breaker list to narrow down the field, then your attractive/turn offs list to bring you even closer to the partner of your dreams. There, that wasn’t too bad was it?

I hate my job

Filed under: Uncategorized, Diary, advice

Hate my jobHow many times have we heard those words from someone? I hate my job. How many times have we in fact said that ourselves either to a friends, a member of family or even a co-worker. Some of the braver of us find the courage to say it to our boss’s, and a few of those people sometimes even manage to hold onto their jobs afterwards!

It is a well heard phrase, and it is a complaint that is widespread. We spend more time doing our jobs than anything else. It doesn’t matter what that job is, whether you’re a highly paid face lift surgeon at a posh clinic, or you sit in a call centre on the end of telephone selling pet insurance to people. The level of pay generally doesn’t change the fact that we spend most of our time doing our job. So, understanding this, the question you have to ask yourself: is it worth it? If you enjoy your job, you’re laughing! You spend most of your lifetime doing something that you enjoy. You are on to a winner there, and you should make sure that you don’t let go of that. As to the rest of us, is it really worth it? (more…)

I come to a head tonight!

Filed under: Uncategorized, Diary, advice

I sent out a memo to to everyone basically stating the point that we are being a little unproactive and to my suprise everybody kinda agreed or a the most was silent. Diane said:

“Valerie is a bit of a different kettle of seafood though - she was after all one of the founder members of the group when we formed after the comedy course”

So nothing is certain yet but we will talk more tonight. The main reason I’m beign such a pain I want them to care, I’m not to worry if she does or does not join but just letting her in because it easier than upsetting her is pathetic.

But your not here to talk about me:

Now I have the delight of serving drinks at a wedding for Aquila wedding caters. This isn’t going to be that much fun, This will only be the second time I’ve done it, but I can’t stand being a subordinate. The last wedding I did it, I had a really tough time these were some of my worst parts:

  • Getting in a slanging match with the groom
  • Being Soba, Whilst giving away free drinks.
  • Getting groped until I had to start screaming rape!
  • Watching people eat for three hours.

But your not here to talk about me:

A New Job

I’m still stuck behind the same error I was yesterday but I feel like I had a valuable day. I applied for a support role at a a solicitors today, up in North London, It’s part time, so I can still keep up all the other work I do but It’s £14,000 + benefits which would mean I could have a social life again. Other odd thing happened today in the adjacent house they are making a immense annex to their home and It looks like they have hired a new builder, a attractive young red head girl, she makign it really hard for me to concentrate.

but to lighten the mood:

Not my best day!

Today was miserable day. You can devide in to two categories the folks in the world: the distinguished and hip folks like yourself that understand my blog, and the 8 billion idiots who make our lifes hell . So it looks like we are out numbered. All the things I have attempted to do today, has required me to repel two people intent on forcing me to do something else, generally purchase some crap. I keep trying to tell myself it’s just the price of living in this enlighted era, but that doesn’t seem to reduce the impulse to kill everyone .

Anyway onto silliness.
