In the past three days, I've had three interviews; two on the phone and on today in person at a local public library. Its always hard to know how I did on any interview but this last one more than others, it was three people and they all had really good poker faces. I'm doing my best to feel hopeful because I've been told that my new resume is ( Read more... )

My last two weeks have been full of a strange mixture of what comes next, the sense of the end of my time at work and looking forward to my birthday. To begin with, the Monday before last I changed offices to where the woman I originally replaced sat. What makes this change so surreal is that suddenly by sitting where she was sitting, I can keep a ( Read more... )

I'm working from home today and its actually just what I needed. A little more sleep and now I'm trying to organize for my successor all the various things that I do. Its a daunting list and for me, this is going better on my own computer. I think because knowing they hired someone and now there really is an end feels like a lot combined with the ( Read more... )

Last night I dreamed that the floor in my apartment was falling and then somehow flooding, it began in a corner of the bathroom and then spread. Most of the dream was spent moving various things back and forth as a handyman was there, my parents helped and somehow new architectural details of my apartment were found but it was a truly anxious dream ( Read more... )

There was a post going around Tumblr at one point about how if someone's being bothered by something that seems small, its probably because there's more going on. Today I had one of those days when the fact that I had to dig my car out since the plow that does the parking lot completely hemmed it in and I couldn't get it out, that was my point of ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to properly update but never seemed to find the time or energy. May I was busy teaching and then with an intense fact-checking job. Then for my birthday weekend, my mom came up to visit for two days and we walked around my neighborhood and downtown Boston. We get along really well so it was great to have some time to shop and talk ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to do an update but work and the weather plus allergies have been draining me of a lot of energy. In good news, thanks to the Rogue One fandom on Tumblr, I'm now in a chat with other rebelcaptain writers and its wonderful to have people to connect with on writing. And also its a nice reminder that oh yes, I can meet new people and ( Read more... )

I work two jobs that seem to always go between feast or famine, which is one reason I want to find a full time job. At the moment, I'm in a slow point after being sick, so while I'm healthier now and there are good things. I keep worrying and wondering about what I should be doing and what I might be doing wrong. I know myself and that I'm not the ( Read more... )

I always forget how much I love the Winter Olympics until I start watching them and I was thinking about why. I remember being little and sitting with my grandmother on the top floor of my parents' house and watching them. Then when I was a little older I saw The Cutting Edge, a movie I know by heart. Also I discovered that Courtney Milan, one of ( Read more... )

The Eagles won the Super Bowl! I can remember watching the last time they were in the Super Bowl in Dunedin, New Zealand and that was another nail biter of a game. I'm happy and still getting over being so tense. Here's an interesting thing I've seen floating around and a great use of comments that work.

I would like you to ask me something you ( Read more... )
