As WordPress continues to recycle old prompts, I pulled another prompt from The Coffee Monsterz Co to respond to today
What first impression do you want other people to have about you?
To me, first impressions are everything. Well, maybe not everything. It is possible for people to defy the first impressions that they give you But when it comes to meeting other people it’s really hard for me to shake by first impression of stranger.
If it’s up to me, the first impression I want people to have of me is that I’m an easy person to talk to. I like to think that I’m a pretty good human being. I like to think that I’m approachable. I’ve been told by many people that I’m a good listener.
I’m not going to lie though. There are times I’ve used this skill to my advantage. People will just open up to me. They’ll tell me things that they’re not necessarily supposed to disclose. Sometimes I think I would’ve made a really good “good cop“ like in those interrogation scenes you see on TV cop shows. Or maybe I would have made a really good priest.
At any rate, being a good listener, is a skill that comes in very handy when I’m trying to meet members of the opposite sex. I just don’t want people to remember me as “nice”.
Meanwhile…
Saturday night was the US PBL championship game at Jimmy John’s Field in Utica. I had a credit from a previous ticket fiasco so I bought an additional ticket and me and kid 2 went to the game.
I was gradually feeling summer slipping away and turning into fall. Tonight, with virtually everybody here in hoodies and/ or long pants, I’m fully feeling it. Of course, doesn’t help that tonight is the final game of the baseball season at this facility. I have a very love/hate relationship with this time of year. It’s odd because I actually enjoy fall But I hate the fact that fall eventually transitions into winter. So I guess, via app proxy, I do kind of hate this time of year. But again, when you’ve lived the majority of your life, thinking that summer is the end game, I guess this is to be expected
The other thing for me right now is fall also means I am reverting back to the visitation schedule that my attorney once called “the shitty dad schedule“ I see kid 2 every other weekend now, which is to be expected. But when you break it down, that means that I get four days with him per month.  I think I do a pretty good job between striking a balance with my grown-up time in my kid time. But I also feel like I’m going to miss so much over the course of the next nine months.
