I don't sleep at night... no biggie.

If we were to wake up some morning and find that everyone was the same race, creed and color, we would find some other cause for prejudice by noon. ~ George Aiken

Sad, but most likely true. People love to hate.

I'm Jess. I live in Charleston, WV. I am a nurse on a neurological floor. I mostly care for older people that have had strokes or have other problems with their noggins. Some seizures, head trauma and spinal surgery too. Lately it's also been the satellite psych ward. I work night shift, so it's even more fun since the real crazies come out at night.

100!

I’ve made it to my 100th post. I think most of them were original rather than reblogs, which is pretty impressive, I think. Or perhaps not. I don’t know.

In celebration of this post I am going to do what I do best… bitch. Here goes…

I met this guy about a month ago. We met at a little music/arts festival through a mutual friend. We talked, flirted a bit, and genuinely got on pretty well. Unfortunately he lives 2.5-3 hours away in the next state over. We became FB friends, I messaged him and gave him my number, he messaged back in kind, and I texted him. We’ve been texting/flirting quite a bit over the last month, though at one point I didn’t hear from him for 5 days. He finally did text and we communicated back and forth pretty regularly. 

Well, it’s happened again. I haven’t heard from him for about four days. This is also two unanswered texts later. I know he has no commitment to me or anything crazy like that, but I had no inkling that I’d done or said anything to put him off. Perhaps I didn’t and he’s just being a twat for one reason or another. Perhaps it’s technology’s fault, but if something were wrong with his phone, I would hope he’d message me on FB or something. I know I way overthink things and make up excuses in hopes that it’s not me, but chances are it probably is. I just hate not knowing. Just be a man and tell me, don’t just stop communicating and hope I get the picture. I can’t say this is the first time a guy has pulled this stunt with me, but it’s just as aggravating as before. 

The really terrible thing is, as annoying as I find this behavior, I know I’ve done it before to guys. Yeah, I’m a total hypocrite. Though usually I just start to become more terse and short with my replies before I start ignoring them. Isn’t that a little better? :P Yeah, not really, I know. Gah, I just hate not knowing what is going on on his end. The majority of my brain is telling me to write him off and not worry about it, but there’s a little part holding out hope that he’ll text soon. What a loser I am.
