Here's what I propose: that January becomes "New Year's Resolution Tryout Month," a sort of purgatory between the frenzied goal-setting at the end of December, and the resigned chill that falls upon February when you realize that planning and saving for your fabulous backpacking trip*, publishing your novel**, and working up to running five miles a

hi there.

this post reminded me that you live in atlanta, a place that I have a sudden vested interest in moving to. the whole matter of a "job" is getting in my way, though, so on the very very very off chance that you would hear or know of anyone interested in hiring an intelligent, well-spoken, dedicated 28 year old woman who is personality-driven, fun, trained in communications, broadcasting, and other media technologies, could you possiibly point me in their direction?

I'm wide open to possibilities, and put in a resume at timewarner comm. today. I actually have a job that I'm hoping to get, but I need a backup plan or 10.

oh, and I completely agree with your plan to make feb. 1 the actual go date. why hasn't anyone thought of this before?

I hate sitting there for two hours and trying to make small talk with my stylist as she yanks at my hair and folds it into the foil. Going there is more nervewracking than going to the dentist.

Thank you! Someone else who feels the same way I do! I put off haircuts as long as I possibly can because I hate trying to think of things to say while sitting in that chair. My stylist isn't content to just do all the talking himself, he always asks, "So what have you been up to lately?" And then I have to try to remember exactly what I've been up to lately--which usually doesn't make very fascinating conversation anyway. I'm always thankful when he pulls out the hair dryer because the noise gives me a good excuse for not talking. At least my dentist will carry on the conversation on his own and doesn't expect me to do more than nod.
