Reading Shannon's post on the types of resistance gave me some perspective on things. Particularly the stop smoking one. Now I'm not a smoker, but I have bad habits. It just so happens most of these habits are daydreaming, spacing out, watching tv, or mindlessly browsing on my phone. Instead of fighting tooth and nail to make sure I don't fall into those bad habits, I should just relax and accept they will be dealt with in time. Obviously not an excuse to slack off, but if I happen to slip up from time to time I shouldn't make a big deal out of it. If I stress about this stuff, I'll just cause more stress which will actually make me more likely to do it.
So something lucky happened to me or rather something I was hoping for. Apparently at my job it was requested that I help come inventory time. Now I'm not an elitist or anything, I don't look down on warehouse workers or any of those types of jobs. But I got this job specifically to not deal with that kind of stuff. To be honest it pissed me off a bit. That someone could just make a request like that. It wasn't even like a "Hey we might be short handed do you think you could help out?" No, it was "We're gonna be shorthanded, get one of the IT guys to help". But anyway I don't have to do that shit anymore, apparently they have enough manpower now. I don't know how it happened and I don't really care lol, I'm just thankful I don't have to do that anymore. Maybe I'm overreacting a bit, I don't know. But the fact that someone thought they could just pluck me from my job and dump me somewhere else sent an unspoken message about what they think of my contribution at this place.
On a positive note I feel like my attitudes are shifting when it comes to women. I realized a lot of the time I try to say the right thing instead of being myself because if I say the right things I'll get a more positive outcome. Online dating sucks in general. So many conversations go nowhere because the girl just won't put in any effort. I thought I was doing something wrong at first, then I realized it's just them and I shouldn't waste my time. So I'm talking with this new girl and she's been pretty receptive, I'll see how it goes. Mind you I'm not going for just sex, I actually want to get to know her and see what happens. Enjoy the experience of it even if it goes nowhere, I don't really mind.
