Test of a 3D environment for work... (originally created via Friendster app interface)

Here are the thoughts, strategies, and mindsets that I found invaluable in my job search. I've been laid off before, but the market and job-searching techniques were remarkably different from the economic and technological environment we are currently in. Gone are the days of monster.com, dice.com, hotjobs.com, and dances with head hunters. Here ( Read more... )

I'm becoming a gym rat.

It's weird, I never thought my body would ever do this, but it's actually craving to be challenged and stressed now. When I don't work out one day, I start feeling antsy.

In the past week, I have done:
Monday: nothing (felt antsy. and guilty.)
Tuesday: 1 hour Kick-boxing, 20 laps of swimming
Wednesday: 80 laps of ( Read more... )

I wasn't involved in this project (my project is a long-term one, and related to what I first started designing a few years ago, if you remember my drawings and excitement from back then.. :) ), but I just had to share this ( Read more... )

I'm trying to be fine, but I can't help from being sad and crying.

p.s. thank you so much for your comments to my previous post and emails... I appreciate your thoughts and support so much, and I will respond if I haven't already done so. I've just been elsewhere. Cleaning, mostly. I'm attacking ( Read more... )

I've been told that I'm strong for making the decision that I did, in ending a fairytale-like, 2.5 year long relationship. I try to remember that every day, because invariably, I end up being the poster child for the exact opposite - I flood over with helpless tears until I fall asleep from emotional exhaustion, and then wake up several hours ( Read more... )

Most boring posts ever coming up. So I had a large emotional change in my life recently, and when that happens, the workouts get kicked up a LOT. Just as well, since it's swimsuit season.

Heard this song on the radio this morning, and almost started crying just because it brought up wispy thoughts of the past. All the stories of those who have contributed, for better or worse, to my life and to the perspective that I now have. It's a self-strong, calming song that would be good for those break-up periods, although it's rather ( Read more... )

So I get this call last night saying that I may have to go to Shenzhen, China to work with our vendor (speaking of which, anyone have any fun contacts in Shenzhen?), and to apply for a visa this morning. Not a problem, I figure. A slight inconvenience in terms of timing, as it would have been nice to get a little more warning, but hey, it'd be ( Read more... )

I've been here 9.5 months, and literally (cheese ahead) everyday, I find something that gives me this warm glowing euphoria about having found this uberfantasticspontaneousdizzyinglyfun career niche. I love my job! ^___^ I mean, how could you not love a place where you have company-wide meetings while lounging on 5-person beanbags, holiday ( Read more... )
