Oh shit I got a head rush

This week has been brilliant...things are coming together, and I haven't had to force a thing. Per the advice of my sister-in-law, my past is going to follow me wherever I go...a fresh start is all in my head. Once I realized this, things have gotten better. I've gained some perspective.....jobs have come my way...and kick ass jobs mind you....and all in Indianapolis. Something is telling me to stay here....and if you aren't a believer in signs....The reasons to stay in Indy are now building up. It's the better thing to do at this point. I did get a call for an interview in Chicago, but it's for an administrative assistant position...which a - is not a good resume builder and b - it's a temp to perm, so very risky. I'm going to tell them n-o. I don't even want that option...
The past few months have been insane....and I am so thankful that I have such great friends in my life. I have received the most amazing advice and direction, and without them, I would be lost...very, very lost.

I thought I knew my cats.....

My cat Emma jumped off the balcony today...I'm not sure how long she was outside...probably not more than ten minutes...but I'm so surprised that she was the one who jumped! Sammy is the one who has gotten out before...he's the curious one...he's the pain in the ass... They'll be six next month, and I can't believe it. I guess Emma is finding that she has a more adventurous side -but sorry kitties...no more balcony for you!

"The Whiz Man" will never fit you like "The Whiz Kid" did

I wish I could spam this blog with tons of several updates...
I wish I could say that I have a new job and that I'll be moving soon...
So much has been going on, but nothing has been happening...make sense? I have a few job possibilities, but none of them have moved to a first interview with the actual company. Sit and wait, sit and wait...Yesterday a recruiter got me completely pumped about a job and then asked, "So did you have a gpa higher than 3.5 in undergrad?" HAH! Seriously? I'm effing 30...and I've never been asked my gpa....this job search thing is for the birds.
Let the randomness begin:
The new Girl Talk album, Feed the Animals, is available at illegalart.net. It's fantastic...thank you to Chip for passing it along.
Thank you to the random man who stands outside every morning and waves to the cars going by.
I'm out of a job at the end of July....something needs to happen soon.
Thank you to my mom for stating the obvious about my life....I'm up a creek without a paddle.
I've decided to live on as little money as possible...probably for the better.
I'm coming out of the closet - I play World of Warcraft, and I have for years. My ex started playing, so I started playing...and now the people I play with have become some of my closest friends over the years. I always was playing video games growing up...always had that geeky side. So I play WOW...judge me :)
Thank you to Jean for hanging in there with me through the past few years....with the ups and downs that we've had...I love that I can rely on you no matter what.
Oh, some kids were throwing some trash away at my apartment complex. The trash bag fell out of the dumpster, and they just turned and walked away....fantastic addition to the next generation of lazy Americans.
Everything will work out...I still have optimism...it's just going to be bumpy for a bit. Would I even like my life uncomplicated????

Chicago Craziness

I am headed to Chicago once again....I have two interviews on Thursday, and three on Friday. Fingers and toes crossed. All five are with staffing agencies, as I've decided that's the only way I'm going to get a job up there. I haven't heard back from the jobs I have applied to directly...oh wait...I have..."We're concerned that you don't live in Chicago." How do I assure someone that I am indeed moving? There's no real way since I can't afford to rent a place without a job.... Hopefully something comes from these interviews - my current job is posted and candidates are being interviewed....scary.
As for the plans outside of my interviews....I'm going out with my friend Christie on Friday, recovering all day Saturday, and then to Don's going away party on Saturday night. I am then booking it home on Sunday to have dinner with my parents....it is indeed Father's Day. Which I just realized I haven't been home for in three years due to Bonnaroo.
Speaking of Bonnaroo...the guy I sold my ticket to - Steve - is a real peach. He's never been, and he is so super excited. I'm happy I was able to sell him my ticket at a dirt-ball-low price. I lost my ass on that ticket... Have fun Steve :)

My new baby....

So, Friday night we had a massive storm, and I thought my computer fried. I made up my mind that night that I was going to get a laptop the next day. My ex built that computer, and I was sick of it...time to cleanse! However, Saturday morning, the computer was just fine...and I still went out at bought a laptop...Silly - maybe....but I do not have one single regret. I now have two computers...not sure what's going to happen to the old one. I simply want to toss it in the trash, but that would be crazy silly.
So, my new pride and joy is an HP Pavilion...v9825. The funny thing is, the laptop states that it's v7000, but it has all the specs of the v9825. I've already loaded everything on it, so I'm not going to return it. The specs are all there....I'm thinking that they upgraded the v7000 to the v9825 and missed some spots? Whatever my laptop is...it's brilliant.

I'm a Simpson!

Oh yes...I found the Simpsonizer.

What fears can I cure?

I just read an anonymously written essay on the benefits of marijuana...The main benefit being that it cured the author's fear of death. I suggest you take a gander...these kinds of things rarely come around....
