This afternoon I got a phone call from one of the prospective jobs that I had interviewed for in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago to let me know that...I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I really can't believe this is all happening right now!  In a little over two weeks I'll be moving up to San Francisco and starting a new job and ( Read more... )

I would get a job offer (and my husband too) in San Francisco and move up there by the end of this month!!  I had just decided that my goal is by July 1st, so this Writer's Block prompt was perfect.

I am so tired of bitching and moaning about work crap...but I really feel like I'm at my wit's end and am about to snap.  I need to give my two week's notice SOON and I cannot wait until I get a job offer in SF so that I can get the hell out of there!!

Other than work I feel like things are going well, and it's so shitty that one part of my life can ( Read more... )

This morning I went into an 8th grade U.S. History class and taught two periods.  I was really nervous at first (it was my first time being in front of a class before!) but it went really well.

I did the lesson on life during the Civil War.  I had prepared one small part of the lesson and I was only expecting to do that but before class started the ( Read more... )

Though I was born and raised Buddhist it wasn't until the last few years that I have taken it more seriously and really put 100% faith into my Buddhist practice.  I realized, though, that even when I didn't take my Buddhist practice or upbringing seriously, it has had a major influence on my life, on my thinking, on all that I've accomplished, and ( Read more... )

Had a rough week this past week...Friday being the lowest of my lows...ever.

Thursday night after my class I was feeling so overwhelmed with all of the work that I have to get done in the next two weeks, I started to break down.  When I got home I was feeling like shit and then I still had to pack and get ready for the campout that I was going on ( Read more... )

It turns out the phone interview went well.

I asked a lot of questions about the position and about working with their Girl Scout Council (after the hesitations I felt about working for another Girl Scout office in my last post) and I feel that she was very honest with me and completely understood my concerns and where I was coming from.  I also ( Read more... )

Just had a great workout...feeling more confident about the triathlon that me and Kev are training for in June...sitting on the couch with Kev because he's home sick...going out to lunch with a friend...working on Girl Scout troop stuff with the sis-in-law...maybe going to see a moooovie tonight!

Overall, it's going to be a good day.

Hooray!

Woke up this morning wishing I felt more sick than I really do...gee, really shows how much I love my job, eh?  Perfect week to call out sick, though:
1. Boss is on vacation
2. I've been sick all week so it's believeable
3. I really don't have much going on so I wouldn't be missing anything
But alas, I'm here.  So I might as well make the most of it ( Read more... )
