promotions and what they really mean

How funny is it that everyone and their mother want to make more money; but most will shy away from responsibility.  If you go up to most people and ask if they get paid fairly they will tell you no they don't and when you ask them what they do its something hard or time consuming.  offer a promotion from someones current post and they will jump on it. I mean a dollar more and better hrs who in their right mind would say no, but in all honesty I don't see that as a even trade off.  People always think a promotion is amazing but all it seems to be more responsibility less freedom and a bit more alienation for a bit more money.  Lets assume you and a buddy start at the same time and you both are good workers and one day your boss tells u if you'd like to be a assistant supervisor; your buddy will treat you differently won't he due to your new found position.  but alas i digress we will always try to make more money than concern ourselves with the loss of friends or social lives.  we may always be around each person but we lose ourselves to a  job :"( 

Imidiate love affair

Well lets see it was the few months after high school when i met her; brunette, light skin, light brown eyes, but what i really noticed were her lips.  They were a soft pink hue and they would stay in a semi-permanent kissy face even when she was upset.  I didn't know who she was but my friend did she introduced us, her name was Cassandra, she shook my hand.  I make a dumb remark she laughs to show the most beautiful smile I've seen to that day.  Weeks go by and I get to talk to her every once in a while in passing between classes or when i got out early.  She was polite and she had interesting stories to tell every time I quickly began to fall for her but I figured the feelings weren't reciprocated so i didnt ask her out...so i asked my friends if they all wanted to watch a movie, they all  agree to go.  that same day i ask her to come with us she says shed love to, i ask for her number and she gives it to me.

I never will know if it was by design by my friends or by divine fate that everyone cancelled on me that day, i pick up my phone, hear it ring once....twice....three times.....my chest feels tight and I hear her.    
    'Hello?' Cassy
"hey, Cassy?"  myself
    'yeah this is her, who is this?'  Cassy
 "Its Gary from school, hey my friends all cancelled last minute i was just calling to see if you still wanted to go...i mean i completely understand if you dont cuz i dont want youi to thin k this was some kind of covert plan of mine....not that it would be i mean *blushing* i understand if u dont feel like going " myself
   "hahaha why would i mind" Cassy
'I dont know i suppose cuz it looks like a date' myself
" dont worry lets go it'll be fun" Cassy
' alright I'll pick you up from your house then we'll go, deal?' myself
"sure see you soon" Cassy ...
That nigth I saw her and we watched the comebacks she was sweet and I did everything in my power not to push or prode her into anything.  By the time we had left the teather we were openly flirting.  We get to the  mall and i do the unthinkable, I asked her to go steady....literally in that same format she says yes she'd love to. I am happy so very very happy at that point.
 I would later tell her about the whole thing and we would laugh but right there and then i as just glad she said yes.
