i am very happy and optimistic because i've decided that giving up on Davis is alright.
negative, yet positive. it still might work out here, but i got back from texas to a slew of 'the position had been filled... you do not meet qualifications...the budget for this position has been cut....'
guys, i'm not exaggerating. i spend about 2 hours every day here in davis on the job search. time i could have used to learn spanish or.. basically anything more constructive than throwing effort into the black hole of job applications.
and, it seems that my current job is still on the brink of extinction. i am not complaining though, i just need to sort out what to do next. and that is tricky because i'm in a lease, and joe does have a decent job that he doesn't completely hate.
time for more plotting and stratagem
but, i'm comfortable with the idea of being on the move again.
also, know what's funny? there were 'help wanted' signs all over Austin when i was there this weekend.. i think it's just this hapless valley i live in that's particularly bad.
also also, the family reunion was awesome :D!
i got to surprise my dad and brother- i arrived at my uncles house before they got in from NH, and Carinae had me hide with my little cousins (5 and 3 years old) so she could be all like 'oh, the kids are hiding, go find them' when my family arrived, and so we popped out from behind a couch when they walked into the upstairs living room. yea yea it's cheesy, but i had a great time out there.
austin is the coolest part of texas, check it out someday; it's the live music capital of texas, and it has some of the best mexican EVER >:D wooot
