Since I’m a little down about having to apply for a job that I know I don’t want but I need, I’m going to write out things to look forward to:
(this one is dedicated to Kellie B.)
1. Walking outside on a windy day, with the leaves swirling around me. If I listen closely, I’m sure [...]

Bren is now the proud owner of one exceedingly awesome shiny green alien costume. My serger cranked tonight! I thought I’d be up super late working on it (Todd thought so too)… Nope.
I was done before 9:30.
No pattern. No instructions. Yeah baby!
And Bren’s little buddy, Alyssa, elbowed him in the mouth today and knocked out [...]

What a thought, but I know it’s true. It’s more expensive to eat healthy than it is to eat the cheap crap. Nice, huh?
even worse…

In a follow-up to my prior posting today, there is a job posted with the federal government that I am qualified for (as are multitudes in this area). It pays better than what I’m making now. The problem? It’s a secretarial position. I have hated being a secretary for the last 10+ years. As I [...]

Our marketing manager just sent out this report to all the staff. We deal with professional technical education, displaced homemakers, non-traditional workers (ie, woman going into welding or automotive – or a man going into nursing)…
The report is called “The Race for Wages – Living Wage Jobs in the Current Economy: 2007 Northwest Job Gap [...]

Todd has a load of clothes in the dryer and Aidan is fussing in the background. I can hear a couple cars on our street, but other than that, it’s quiet here right now. I’m drooping and exhausted. I have a lot of reading to do tomorrow and, in the grandest of ironies, I’m going [...]
the search is on

Interesting thing it is, being on the edge of massive change. You either accept it and welcome it, or you fight it and suffer. I’m there right now. I had thought I’d put off looking for that entry-level information professional position until I was through my first year of the program, but things have turned [...]
Now I’m just mad!

McCain and Palin are absolutely ridiculous! They are STILL harping on Ayers. Has no one told them yet that Obama has been upfront and spoken over and over again about the lack of relationship other than the one board they both served on. I have to wonder how desperate they have to be to continuously [...]

I’ve got my school materials together, but not the rest of my stuff. I’ll do that tonight, along with all the laundry that I’ve been putting off.
I’m really pooped. The baby decided he was NOT happy at 4:20 this morning. I’m paying for it now and seriously just want a nap. It’s not to be, [...]

I’m meeting with someone on Monday morning to discuss a potential job. It’s something that would intersect with my education and work experience, plus it would provide some additional incentive to continue with my graduate degree.
It’s a complete shot in the dark and I have no idea what will come out of it. I found [...]
