  • update

    It's official.  My last day at work will be the 18th of November.  I am so excited to move forward and SO nervous because I don't have anything lined up yet.  I got an offer from Applebee's to be a waitress, but declined.  I wasn't really feeling it.  They said to apply again if "it didn't work out" elsewhere.  I may.  But for now I'll be looking at other restaurants.  Hopefully the temp agency will find something quickly.  More importantly, hopefully I'll find something quickly.

    Have realized lately that I'm not where I want to be spiritually.  I'm hoping to be able to work on that with more focus in the next little while.  I am in desperate need of community, but I also need to be able to function without community, because sometimes in life (like right now) it's sparse.

    More later - off to watch White Christmas with Lauren.  I know - it's way too early in the season to do such a thing.  I'm judging me so you don't have to

    oh - also - I'm entering some photographs in a contest with my local paper.  I don't really know anything about it, but if you want to check them out it's http://ydr.inyork.com/ydr/gallery.

  • //Figuring it out//

    Trying to figure out what to do with myself.  My time at the courthouse is winding down.  I left the restaurant (with notice, of course) and I've been trying to decide if I want to pick up another part time job in place of the one I left.  I want to serve because I really enjoy the immediate payment of tips (not to mention the job itself).  I have an offer from one place, but I'm not sure if I want to work there... My friend told me about a place where I maybe might be able to work if the timing works out (which looks unlikely).  I'm still waiting to get transcripts to send to some "real" jobs.... I just don't know.  The job my friend told me about is in NYC and I have to admit that's a huge huge draw.  I'm a Boston girl deep down, but I could spend some time in New York.  I'd like that, I think.  I have so many friends in NYC and around there.  But between not being sure about the job, trying to find an apartment for decent rent, and a few other reasons I'm hesitant.  I would be close to some dear friends.  I know exactly which church I'd go to there... still, I don't know.  I just don't know.  And there's still the draw of DC.  There are a million jobs down there.  (About which I have mixed feelings as a taxpayer, but as an unemployed person (or at least not employed in my field) I can't deny the draw.  I went to Philly with some friends yesterday and they mentioned some companies to look into, also. 

    I don't know. I just don't know.

  • let (her) entertain you!

    This afternoon I asked my friend Lauren for a bit of entertainment. This is what she provided. Please don't hold her abhorrent spelling against her.

    "so.....
    I wrote you a poem....


    ahhhhhem... *to be read with severe distain and a fervent passion for office distruction....*

    in bin, in bin
    I've been workin

    papers, papers
    just keep comin

    tear it, rip it
    burn the bin down

    stupid clocker
    can't stand your stupid sound

    front counter crazies
    making me mad

    CPCMS sucks
    and it makes me terribly sad

    copiers, printers
    beat them with a bat

    this is the end of my poetry skills
    and that is simply that.


    LOL





    *thank you, thank you* *bows* hahah"


    and that's why I keep her around.

  • travel bug

    the organization i volunteer for has a trip planned for out kids for early december and i may be going as a chaperon.  sooo dangerous.  i have been looking up flights all night.  i hope this works out.

    Today was my last day at the restaurant.  I don't want to go into details but I didn't quit because I wanted to, but because I felt it was necessary.  It was a really bittersweet day.  I went out with my sister and a couple girls from work afterward and we had a lot of fun, which was a great way to end the day. 

    Life is in transition again.  Usually this is a springtime event.  I love transition.  I love when my life is upside down and I'm scrambling to figure it out and anything is an option.  (My life isn't upside down - I have a place to live and that's often the most difficult part, but you get the point.)  Transition, for me, equals hope and opportunity.  I'm going to make the most of this time. 


    Bring it on.
