GOT THE JOB.

Now have to juggle old jobs with new until 2 weeks is up.

It's gonna be a tearful farewell. I know they'll manage without me, but good or bad that bakery's been kind of a home for me. My first real job. I have learned a lot in the EXACTLY six years I have been there.

Dinner & headache cut practice short. Oh well.

Such a dream I had! Very epic. Felt a lot like Terry Gilliam's subconscious ( Read more... )

Had an interview today that I think went pretty well. The manager & owner both seemed impressed and I think they liked me. Trying not to get my hopes up, but it would be really exciting if I get this job. Like I told Philip, though, even if I don't get the job it was good just to hear back from someone.

I never felt confident or educated or articulate enough to even try. Or, rather, failures at a very very young age have prevented me since from trying. It is something I have ( Read more... )

I came up with a little mantra for myself last week during walking meditation and I may try it for the sitting portion as well... based on Thich Nhat Hanh's suggestion of "Yes...(inhale)... Thankyou...(exhale)" a basic acceptance/gratitude thing. I just expanded it to make it more personal for me and it became "(inhale)Yes, I will face the ( Read more... )

I have a friend who is addicted to pot. All the advocates claim it's not addictive, but for this person, if she didn't have it on a daily basis, reality would come crashing down in an unpleasant way. I understand to a degree, because I'm depressed myself, and in fact on medication to help me get through the day. I admit some bias because I've ( Read more... )
