Ho, Ho, Ho! Merry Job Hunting!

I had another interview with a temp service today that contacted me from getting my resume online. This sounds really exciting. It's for an appraisal company. Of course, I would be doing administrative assistant work, but it's working with a company that deals with land values...which = Geography, Geography, Geography. Could be very interesting. I have to go interview with them on Monday. The temp lady decided to give me some "helpful hints" at the end of my interview with them. She really was trying to be very helpful, but it hurt my feelings, of course. I'm sensitive. She said that she knows I would do a great job...just remember to go in there looking VERY professional...and maybe pull my hair back. Thanks. So, I'm cutting my hair off tomorrow. And, I thought I was looking pretty professional today! Black pinstriped pants...it's cold, so I wore my double breasted suit looking leather jacket...whatever. Time to go shopping I guess. I hate this professional wardrobe shit. I've worked at a place where my most professional attire consisted of capris and flip flops for the last 8 years...not to mention being a student.

Gabby has a fever and a sore throat today. She still wants to go to her dad's though. I think it would be better if she stays with me, but I don't really feel like fighting with her. The tears that come when she wants to go to her dad's break my heart, and I hate taking that away from her. At least she'd be there with her grandmother, so we'll see what happens.

If Gabby does go to her dad's I am definitely going out tonight. I have had the longest week ever! Tomorrow night is my Christmas party for my IRS job. That should be fun. I was really hoping that JC could get a Saturday night off for once because I would really like it if we could branch out a little bit, and hang out with some of my "people". But alas, he can't. I'm also getting my hair cut (thanks to temp lady's comment) tomorrow. Sunday I might go watch JC play football with his buddies. And that's my weekend...with a little more cleaning and possibly shopping thrown in for good measure. Oh...and going to see Blood Diamon or The Holiday would make this weekend even better. It's all up to how Gabby is feeling though, and if her grandmother doesn't mind watching her when she's sick.

Guess what? I went to gym yesterday...out of nowhere...worked out all by myself...no trainer...I even did 30 minutes of cardio. If I take Gabby to her dad's I'll go again this evening. I even tanned yesterday...planning on doing it again today...for the first time in FOREVER! My membership is up in May, so I better get some use out of. Eating habits have been in check for the last couple of days, too. Woo hoo!

I really, really detest arm/shoulder/chest/back workouts when I haven't done it in a while. It never fails...I wake up the next day, and my arms refuse to straighten out. It hurts like hell, and makes me wake funny.

JC is going to his mom's for Christmas in Dallas, and I'm going to be driving up the day after Christmas to drive him home so he doesn't have to get a plane ticket...and so I can finally meet his mom...his stepdad...and the other brother that I haven't met yet...he has 3. SCARY!

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

FYI

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...

End of Summer

Who knew that at 28 years of age I would be writing a post about how I spent my summer. Don't people usually stop talking about their summers after a certain age? Say like, 22? It probably wouldn't be such a big deal to me if I wasn't still a student who doesn't haven't to have a "career" year round. Well, here it is . . . the end of summer. I go back to work on Monday, and school starts on Wednesday. My days of sleeping in, going out, etc are over. I still get every weekend off when Gabby goes to her dad's, but we'll still be a lot more "scheduled" around here. End of summers when I was younger always felt weird because you were sad about the summer being over, but a little excited about going back to school, shopping for school supplies and clothes, thinking about if there'd be a new cute guy in class, getting to see your friends everyday. I have a whole section in my memory that is filed under "Summer". It's my favori...
