Happy moments
I read in Julieannas livejournal a list of happy moments. I thought I'd give the question a try.
My most recent happiest moment has to be being released from the hospital. I had been cooped up there for a week, with strict limitations on where I could walk, to what I could eat. The hospital food wasn't the worst, but it was eaten in a controlled environment which made it seem less appetizing. I remember walking to the car with my father feeling the freedom of being back out in the world with each step. I never realized how much I appreciate the freedom to eat ice cream when I feel like, to smoke whenever the mood strikes me, etcetera, until I had those freedoms taken away.
It also made me laugh to read about her adventures getting lost. I remember being in Seattle to interview for a Ph.D. position at UW. The night before I went out on the town by myself and ended up at a bar where I was kicked out for smoking. The journey home I remember feeling lost, but staying calm. The next thing I remember was waking up in my hotel room the next morning, without a clue as to how I found my way home. I call these experiences Adventures and they make me smile.
Today I had a tow truck take my car to a Goodyear mechanic. Lately my 2003 Ford Taurus has been stalling out on me while driving. The power steering, the hazard lights, the car locks, everything electric, just stops working. Sometimes a jump start will get things going, but other times it will start when I turn the key without the jump start. Random! Here's hoping the fix is not too much since I am completely broke.
I also called the HR lady at ARUP today. She apologized for not getting back with me sooner. She says she needs one last piece of information before she can offer me a job. She also promised she'd call me back by 5pm today. We'll see....
I'm pretty scared about my situation financially, especially since my family is unable to bail me out. If you've made it this far, thank you, and please, leave a comment with a suggestion for a company who may be hiring. I need to find work, dang it! And I still hold out hope it will be in the chemical industry.
