My Relationship Resume

Given my relationship history, there is one thing I'm certain of... that I'm terrible at relationships. So, in the interest of personal growth and self-improvement, I made the decision to create a relationship resume. There's got to be some natural relationship ability within me! Right? Maybe?

Unfortunately, I ran into some very serious, slap in the face, physical proof that I am, in fact, not good at relationships. All I could come up with was an extremely small list of promises. What's sad is that there is nothing on this list that will lead to a very deep or loving relationship.

Needless to say, I have some work to do in regards to being a good relationship partner.

To never avoid your phone calls because I'm angry with you.
To rub your back until you fall asleep.
To let you know that I think about you throughout the day.
To respond to your texts, when warranted, and not leave you hanging.
To compromise.
To be faithful.
To always ask about your day.
To learn about your interests so that we can both enjoy it.
To always be fun loving, and have a good time no matter what we do.
To remain in good shape and live a relatively healthy lifestyle.
To show my love through affection.
To continue to work on myself, and always strive to grow and learn.
To show up when you need me.
To commit to plans without being nagged about it.
To be respectful of your time, and always show up when I say I will.
To look nice for you.
To always find a way to be romantic.

Happy April Fools' Day!

I'm not a very creative person, and have never come up with something truly funny to do to my friends, family, or any roommates I've had over the years. Maybe one day I'll be able to put some of the ideas below to good use. Until then... these are just amusing.

Why Do People Do What They Do?

Last week, I attended a client meeting with several of my co-workers. During said meeting, one of my co-workers, and good friend, got up to get water for our guests from a mini fridge in a cabinet located in the meeting room. But, she wasn't really quiet or discrete about it, and proceeded to slam the cabinet doors, while our guests were speaking. Maybe it's because I've lived in an apartment for too long, and the sound of my neighbors slamming their doors and kitchen cabinets has become a big pet peeve of mine. But, to me, her actions seemed a little rude. It got me wondering... why do people do some of the things they do? After doing some Googling, it seems like there are many reasons for why people slam things like doors, cabinets, and toilet seats. Reasons range from anger, lack of awareness, laziness, selfishness, bad manners, and lack of consideration for others. I immediately did some self-reflection. While I'm pretty good about not...
