If they HAVE broken-up - or aren't even that-serious, after all - then this'll all seem like one big circle that just keeps on going around-and-around, as I try to find and take my chances of telling her how I feel.
I've had some great chances during the last few weeks, but I just haven't been in the mood since I found out. And even before that, it was my confidence that let me down.
I'm not the most confident of people in any situation, and I never will be - and anyone who knows me would justify that.
So, again, it's not gonna be as 'easy' for me as many would think (especially when I look at the fact that she's a year older than me, and, again, what other people may think).
I know I've GOT to think about how much she really means to me - and to just take it straight from there when I next see her.
...I only wish there was an "easy" for a "quiet and reserved" person like me to do this!
To me, she isn't "just another girl"...
She's had a real effect on how I now DON'T see other women, she seems like the kind of person whom I could really get a good understanding with, and of all the few girls I've "seriously" fancied in recent years, none have ever come close to being like her!

Oh, and why not ask her directly 'if she's still seeing' this guy.
Maybe they broke up, but she doesn't want to drag it into the workplace?
It's like my old basketball coach always said, you HAVE to go for the rebound ;^)

Just try to be polite to her, okay?
:^)
Finding someone else sounds like a good plan. Maybe when you get to know them, they won't seem quite so.. inadequate next to her?

Good luck to you with that then, Dr.Duck.
Maybe their aren't that many people who do 'care'... But just as long as you do, that's all that really matters!
A new job often means more money - and that's what makes the world go-around. Sometimes, you've just gotta do what YOU think is right, and not somebody else. :)
I still don't know what my next-move is gonna be with this "long-running situation" though....
I still want to tell her, but I don't want to make things even worse than they already seem... But, in saying that, a lot of people seem to only speak of their relationship in the past-tense, and they never seem to to smile or even say 'Hello' to each other like a usual "couple" does...!
This could lead to good things, but my attitude towards her has uncontrolabley-changed towards her, since I found out what was going on. Whenever she says 'hello' to me, or whenever I'm near her, I just cannot seem to care less that she is around, and "blank" her - even though I know, deep inside, how I really feel about her.
I don't know why this is happening, but I seem unable to control it - and I really hate it!
If I can't improve my mood around her now, how are things supposed to work-out with her if anything does happen in the future??
To take my mind off of her, I have considered finding someone else and "getting to know" them instead... But she's still managed to, somehow, affect me from doing that... No matter who it may be - how big, how small; how short, how tall - I just cannot look at any other woman in the same-way that I look at 'her'! Nope. Even when I see Britney Spears, Rachel Stevens, or anyone else I've previously thought of so-highly; I only see them as "ugly", thanks to her!
It's like she's got some kind of spell on me I've managed to activate myself... And it's not even like this is a solely "physical" thing with her, either!!
I don't know...
My "obsession" with her appears to have died-down with her, slightly, but I still know there is something about her I really like...
It's a shame nothings happened already.
This weeks had some great events for me, personally, at work and college, and I finally take my practical driving test next Thursday (which I really HAVE to pass!).
Still, at least 'some' things are looking up.

Just applied for a job in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It's a chain of 3 pool halls there (a better chance they'll have a vacancy), and my cv.. résumé and covering letter skills must have improved during the hunt up until this point.
And unlike the speculative e-mails I've been sending out, their web site actually asked for people to contact them for employment.
*Crosses fingers until they snap*
In other news: Dr Duck figures nobody here really cares, and so will either shut up about it, or carry on regardless for his own benefit, as he decides later.
But for now he might just go to bed.

Hmm. Extra spacing...
You wait for one and a bunch come along at once.
You'll get the call-back for the programming interview tomorrow too :^)
Meanwhile if you don't want the call centre job..
But could I do it from Canada? Indian call centre - style (but higher wages)?
I applied for 3 jobs today. One e-mail came back to me, address no longer exists, another I got an automated response - 'we'll hold you on file', and the third I'll probably never hear from again.
*Smacks face into box of pins*

Especially if you have a better CV than him. Although I suppose being a manager beats all, eh?
Damn state of the industry, no educated programmer should get to be unemployed or work in a bl00dy calll centre.
Still, it's best not to say to this game shop manager that you want to be a manager right away - he might see you as a threat.

Nope! grrr-argh!
Just got a job in a call centre for BT! :S
Started my first day of training today!
I have to do 5 weeks of training 9-5 mon-fri, and then after that I will work 26hrs a week, with the possibility of overtime. (£5.75 an hr pay)
I'm thinking of using my spare time to improve my coding skills (demos) so that I can try again to get into the games industry next year, or after my lass finishes uni.
But somethings thrown a bit of spice into the plans.
I've two main jobs I'd quite like to do :-
1. Program computer games in the games industry
2. Become a manager of a shop (Ideally a game one)
Right, so after my first day of training at the call centre, was chillin' on my couch watching TV and the manager of this game shop in town rang me up. (Had handed my CV in the other week) He said he was impressed with my CV (even though it has no jobs on it), and would like me to come in for an interview tomorrow. So I've arranged one, for when I should be on my lunch break from training.
Depending what I can work out with this guy depends what I'll do. If I can get him to give me a full time job, reasonable pay, and with him knowing that I'd like to become a manager and discuss with him how he became one, and hopefully he could give me more responcibilities or perhaps train to become one. Then I will quit this call centre job ASAP and go work for him. If not, I might just work for him part time after I have finished my training at the call centre on my hours off when I'm working there properly!
arrr, it's all annoying and I won't tomorrow to come so I can find out what I'm going to do! Because if I can do anything else than work in this call centre I'd quite happily do it. But it does pay pretty well...... GRRR-ARGH!
Right need to go get ready.
Off to watch Rocky 3 at the cinema with some mates!
maaaaa...... jobs.... {{{{sobs}}}}
