  • thanks for the well wishes all! guess it all worked, seems i got the job! whew! i just got off the phone and i am asked for a 2nd interview next friday. i was a bit confused by this and then she clarified - basically, i have a position on the visual merchandising team, it's just a question of where i fit best. thus, another interview. if she and i gel, i'll be on her team, if not, i'll go elsewhere within the store.

    bottomline ...
    I HAVE A JOB!!!

    albeit only for four weeks, haha, but it's a first step. seems "stars" of the holiday program get asked back in january as freelance, then FT, and soon enough, management roles. given i've all about given up on teaching anymore - impossible! - this is an awesome first step in a new career direction, one that i LOVE! also works oh so WELL attending FIT, it's a great fit! love too it's a M-F gig, 8-4:30pm, overall - so yay, yay!


    happiness!
    damn, who KNEW at 44 i'd be so THRILLED to get a 4 week temp job for so-so pay?! :lol:
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow


  • Congratulations! Yes, even something temporary is a good thing--it could lead to something long term or introduce you to people who could help you find something later.

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Yesterday, for a second, I could have sworn I smelled the cologne my dad would always wear :shock: was pretty freaky/amazing

    This has happened to me too definitely freaky/amazing. I also heard someone laugh like my dad in the store one day a few months after he died. It was like music I'd been missing. It made me feel happy and safe. I immediately subconsciously thought, "oh i need to go over and talk to dad" and then remembered i couldn't. Those little sensory memories (a scent, sound, someone who looks like him etc) i think are like little gifts. Sorry for your loss. I miss mine too.

    Sorry for your loss as well. Those moments are definitely special! Normally, I don't really feel my dad around, but the past week or so, I've had a few little instances. I cherish all those little things as they don't happen very often for me!

    Also: congrats, decides2dream!

  • Samjam, I know that feeling.. I used to hear my mither's voice late at night, or her laugh in the mornings..for years after she passed. It is a comforting and eerie feeling all at once. D2D yaya!!! So happy that you have an opportunity to go shine, and hopefully jump into full time!!


    How am I feeling.. A little worried, it has rained here for forty-eight hours!!! And it's supposed to rain until Monday possibly!!! Good think there's six Kayaks at my house!! I may have to Kayak to work tomorrow!

    Sometimes I feel like I live in a bubble and tonight I took a step away and dared to think what it is like for someone who is scared to live the life they knew they we meant too. Donna / Dave, hats off to you for living your dream on your terms. Strong will and power to you my friend!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
  • SO much change, for the first time in a very long time, i'm excited about the direction of my life. :mrgreen:

    Good for you for having kayaks,whispering hands. I think we have a few life preservers. :roll: Be careful down there. The emergency alert system keeps going off and reporting how high the rivers are in the canyons and about how the rivers crested at about the same point in a record flood 1976 -- when hundreds of people died. Hopefully they have had enough warning to get to higher ground. But the cut off towns with no water really worry me. :shock:
    And the sun it may be shining . . . but there's an ocean in my eyes

    Yeah it's getting bad out here, Boukder is getting the worst of the flooding.. We're getting the worst part of the Flash flooding because we're below you all!! And just like shit, water runs downhill!! President Obama just issued a release of natural disaster assistance funds for Boulder, El Paso ( where I'm at), and LarimerCounties! A giant chunk if HWY 24 up into the mountains washed away at 8:30 tonight.. There's people being evacuated all over the Springs! It's insane!! And still raining!

    I have had the most AMAZING day so far. I had forgotten how being this happy feels like. I just want to share!

    -I woke up to a super sweet text from a friend I hadn't heard from in a while.
    -My cousin had a little boy today!! He's the first out of all the cousins to have a baby. The whole family is overjoyed and the baby is absolutely beautiful!
    -I have an interview for a really awesome PAID internship!! It looks promising!
    -Backstory: Cooking is not one of my mom's fortes, but she makes a bangin' apple cake. I had asked her to make one for me before I left for school, so I could bring it. When she was making it, we ended up in a big fight, and on top of that, the next day, I completely forgot to bring it to school. So: this came up in conversation recently with my best friend. Today I received a package from her WITH AN APPLE CAKE INSIDE IT. She baked it for me and sent from upstate NY to Maryland. She also included the sweetest note saying how she knew it was a rough time for me and that she was thinking of me and is always there for me. I cried.
    -Just was on my way to get breakfast, when I ran into a good friend I hadn't spent time with in a while, and we ended up catching up for about an hour, which was fantastic!

    No.

    I was bitten by a camel though. And trampled by two cows.
