Yes, it’s been a long, long time.
1. new job (yay!)
2. new puppy (double yay!)
3. taking a night class in accounting (eh, fun but not exactly ‘yay!’)
I’ll work on getting some pictures of the new puppy up here somehow. His name is Frankie, he’s a Bichon-Yorkie mix, and he’s 6 pounds of total cuteness [...]

just when I thought everything was quiet

I got a phone call at work this morning from the HR department. The woman was wondering if I had noticed a particular job posting and if I was interested in applying for it. So I ended up talking to the director of the relevant department who drove over to “drop off a resume” but [...]
It’s been pointed out to me by a couple of friends that I come across as pretty sad lately on this blog. I think I mainly have been inspired to blog when I’m worried or upset or sad about something, so the emotional balance here is skewed. Anyway, it just occurred to me [...]
a visit

A friend from school is coming to visit this weekend. She’ll be here very soon, in fact. We’re going to go play in Northampton and other nearby locations tomorrow, then to a concert at Tanglewood on Sunday. I’m very excited. W has tons of around-the-house projects to attend to, so Greta Jane and I will [...]
yet again

I didn’t get this job either. The one that “Bob” called and spent 45 minutes trying to talk me into applying for. That one. The one that I was doubtful about, then excited about. The one that made my soul lift and gave me hope that I could be myself again. He just called and [...]
plays nicely with others

Today was my new coworker’s first day. So I spent the whole day sitting next to her, teaching how to do what we do. It actually went very well. She was pleasant, smart, fun, and interesting. We’ve already had some nice conversations. I have no reservations about sharing close quarters with her, which is a [...]
brain splat

Yesterday’s post was…a little insane. Sorry about that. I wrote the first half of it after getting the phone call about the job, when I was still trying to get my head around what was going on. Then I talked it over with W and also with one of our friends who [...]
an opportunity

I got a phone call last night, offering me a job. (Well, asking me to apply for a job, but I think I’ll get it if I apply.) I’m trembling.
Here’s the background. Six years ago, I went to school to become a minister. I graduated two years ago, and haven’t done anything with it. I [...]
detachment
Posted in TTC, life, nothing, self, work on July 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I’m having one of those days where I feel detached and yet everything around me is defined in merciless clarity. None of the normal edge-blurring effect that helps you walk through your life without noticing every little thing. I feel like the objects on my desk are all too real, and I notice the ugly [...]
sad

I didn’t get the job. Remember the job? That I applied for a billion years ago? Well, I found out today that I didn’t get it. So I’m sad. It would have been really a good thing. I’ll be sad and disappointed for about a day and then I’ll get over it. Then I’ll start [...]
