Recieved shocking news today when I returned home from another interview.

An ex co-worker of mine passed during child birth today. The best way to explain it, is that it really feels as though a light has been snuffed out on the world.

We were not the best of friends, but she was the one who actually helped me get a better severance package when...

In case you miseed the last blog you can find the unPG picture of our trip now live on anti_duff's blog. Just a few.

I believe he kept some for himself.

So, where to begin?
It is a quiet week, no interviews.
I think this might be a good thing. I feel just totally exhausted. It is hard to explain. But when I wake...

That looked like a fun vacation.
The concert for charity but put together and held by very large bikers. I'm 6'4 and these guys dwarfed me, so the pit was dangerous, but still fun.

Sad I am missing camping, but at least I know I am not alone smile

I am continuing to interview. I am really hoping to get a job offer in the next few weeks. It has never taken me this long to get a job. And despite trying to step up my interviewing skills I am still being told that they have chosen other candidates. The...

It happened again!

I have written in the past about this firefly that keeps finding it's way into the rooms I am sleeping in on the nights when I am praying so hard that I am screaming in my head.

It has happened twice in the past few months, and last night as I am just begging for help, for strength, for a sign that...

sounds like a scene in a tarantino movie

I don't know if I believe in signs or not (haha, what an agnostic answer)... but you know, I do believe in seeing the beauty of the little things in life, and I do believe in omens. Maybe this firefly is a good omen.

Thanks for writing this. On days like I've had recently, where it feels like often an endless set of tasks to be completed, it's good to be reminded of things like this.

I am going to the library for the first time in forever to get a library card.


Edited to add: Books that were taken out - how to start coin collecting, how to ace the interview, and one fun young adult. Yup, I normally prefer young adult it is just much more light hearted.

It is 5 am in the morning, and I am awake since I didn't sleep a wink last night and would have to get up by 6:30 anyhows for an appt.

I am not sure how this fares for my two hour ride later.

But I am hoping a nap will fit in before the ride.
tunnel_vision:
It took hours for me to get any sleep last night.

I have to keep moving forward ... the only other direction is closer to death.

I love seeing Americans getting excited about soccer.

At first I had no idea what was going on when I saw all the folks driving around with American flags hanging out of their cars - then it hit me, US had just won.

I am excited for the game tomorrow, and to perhaps watch it outside of my house.

I am also hoping for some...

Melatonin sometimes works for me. Yeah, I have no idea how good Ghana is compared to the U.S. team, but fingers crossed for another victory. smile

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

There is some pretty heavy stuff happening to people I know lately.
It is amazing to me to see how strong people really can be during times of sorrow and stress in their lives.
And I am proud of all of them, for their strength, for knowing when to ask for support and help, and for their ability to still love...
