OPEN BAR: It's actually about ethics in fictional bars

[Cain]

Reminder to self: claim 2/4 hours overtime for this and tomorrow's shift, because apparently organizing a rota is rilly rilly hard u guiyz.

Yup, I'm working alone for the next two nights.  Again.  Well, I suppose I have to get used to it, since my co-worker is, almost certainly, going to leave in the next couple of months.

Though if I'm working alone, I think I should get the pay of the person who isn't here.  It's only fair.

well, i seem to be having a small emotional spiral and none of the people i usually talk to when this happens are picking up their phones. This will be an interesting night.

Feel free to vent here if you think it will help.

Basically dealing with the realization that i have head-over-heels feelings for one of my friends, yet i can't really say anything about it to her because i feel it'll only make things awkward, since she lives so far away that a relationship would be nearly impossible.

I don't know whether this would be a good time to mention that until four months ago Alty lived in Alaska, which actually is impossible.

Of course, I didn't fall for him until he moved here, but still. Things change. What if she has feelings for you too? What if one or the other of you is open to a move? Basically all I'm saying is that if it's a solid friendship, it will rebound from the awkwardness, and if there's a possibility of it working out, why not take the chance?

At least mention that you have a crush on her, that's something that can easily be glossed over if it's not reciprocal.

I just moved across the country because of love.  Long distance is frustrating, but that doesn't mean it is not worth exploring.

hmm, i see your point. But maybe i should wait a bit until i'm more...established? Like, when i have a more to...offer, i guess? Like, it seems that i would be in a poor position to suggest a move or something like that without the wherewithal to back it up. So yea, just keep hanging out with her when i can, work on myself for now, and dont lose hope seems to be the plan for now. than ks for the advice you guys.

As long as you're OK with the fact that the waiting road leads directly to her finding someone else.

after considering this most of the day, two plans of action emerge
Plan A involves juggling my current job and internship and waiting until the internship lands me a job in my field(90% of the interns who does this leave with employment)to woo her from a position of relative stability. drawbacks include the fact that working at an internship in Long Beach and a Home depot in Garden Grove will be both a drive and a hassle
Plan B involves selling my car to lease a Prius from Breeze. I can work for Postmates (think Uber, but i'd be a courier, not a taxi driver) this would give me a better car to start visiting her in Escondido, and would allow me to set my own hours and spend my off time doing funner things than working like writing and comedy, all while not interfering with said internship and the sexy new job it promises.

currently leaning towards plan B, honestly.

Is LMNO's smile really that...disconcerting and I've just been blocking it from my consciousness?

OK, this might sound crazy but bear with me, how about before you make any changes in life plans in order to accommodate wooing her, you talk to her and find out whether the feeling is mutual?
