Another attempt
Here I go for another try at this. I feel sad that I don't write in my dland account much anymore. But I don't like to post from work and I just never feel like doing it at home. The paid LJ thing of posting by e-mail might be the solution.
Tons has been going on. Came back from NY, resumed the lost-wax casting class (neat but too much work; doubt I'll ever do it again unless it's part of the community college class I want to take in the fall). Then the big news which is my mom had to get a masectomy. That actually heppend this morning. It's why I'm home today. In the midst of all this, I have three films to review this week and we're buying her a car. (That's a whole nightmare unto itself.)
I've been feeling super itchy ever since I got back from vacation. I applied for a sort of dream job--nothing I'd probably even take if they called. Which they won't cause it's far away. But, it made me start dreaming and also feel terribly guilty for even considering leaving during the redesign. I don't like the way I've been feeling lately at work. I'm trying to get myself into career mode, thinking about the future. Thinking about how to impress people and appear more professional. It's mostly because I'd like (and think I deserve) a hefty raise, but it's an unusual mindset for me and sort of disturbing.
And then, people are moving. Two girls from work are moving to NY, and I got into a long e-mail conversation with one of them because after NYC, she plans to go to Portland. These are the only two places (and Seattle a bit) I've dreamt of moving to, so talking about the pros and cons of each and knowing someone who's making this dream come true for themselves has been slightly painful.
Okay, I need to actually start working now. I need to somehow wrap my head around six different articles about L1Cs and combine them into one neat package. Fun stuff.
