So I am a 30 year old woman who last updated he blog in 2005. Hmmmm, am I a cliche person with commitment issues. I would sure the hell hope not with a five year marriage and a 2 1/2 year old daughter. But I am gonna give this the good old college try.
Even though it's been 9 years since college and I just made myself feel incredibly old.
So the whole point of this new blog attempt on my part is the fact that I feel like Facebook taunts me every day that I sign in with a "what are you doing?" type of headline. And of COURSE it let's all the world know when you last updated it. I know that an old HS aquaintance is tired in France (boo-freakin-hoo), that guy I went to college with is celebrating his two month anniversary of marriage (which made me giggle in a very UN-politically correct manner) amd that my little sister who is away at a huge University is wicked hungover and in class (there's that feeling old thing again)
And I think what am I? Every time I sign on I think that. Half the time I make an alcohol related comment.
"Looking forward to wine friday"
"Really need a martini" Keep it fresh and light right?
Why would I want to say I am:
"going on 7 days without sex because I am too tired, but need to give it up to my poor deprived husband soon"
"presently working at a job that I hate (even though everyone thinks it's awesome) because I couldn't find a good enough freelance gig in my field and needed to pull the strings of my father."
"still hungover from my Ambien from last night"
So here I am, laying those things bare here...
and today I am feeling like Desperately Seeking Susan because I am looking for an amazing job while I work at this place of cuckoos and nutballs that have been publicly lambasted in recent weeks and full of the "I hate my job" people. I have three potentials, but have already suffered the disappoint of "internal" hiring enough in the past couple of months to strangle someone (yes, I do get violent tendencies sometimes) I am overeager with an impressive resume (not trying to be snobby, but I know my stuff is good) in an industry that really only hires through "who you know". I suck at interviewing, I know I do...and I just want people to see what I know I can do for their company. And that is a damn good job.
So that is my frame of mind right now...
