I dropped my phone into a crevasse and my husband had to move the dishwasher to retrieve it. I'm in this oddly grateful mood. In addition to that, i feel like the bond with L is growing everyday. I get it now. I get why people love this. Her face is really all i need in life. I mean, i love my husband, but it's different with Loretta. She never has ( Read more... )

Yo,

It's my bi annual check in. Long story short, i got a good job for a biotech company. I've been there a few months and i like it. It's an insanely steep learning curve, but it's still pretty cool.

The transition from home life to work life was way harder than expected. I'm working on finding better ways to manage my stress. It also didn't help ( Read more... )

Nothing is ever guaranteed.

So I've been looking for jobs for about 2 weeks. I know that's a drop in the bucket for the employment rat race, but I'm frustrated. I was spoiled by the bakery culture. I could go anywhere and start working immediately. My lazy side chimes in and says,  "just go find a bakery!". My body and logical side want to stay far away from any bakery.

That's how I'm feeling today. I'm exhausted and irritated. L decided today would be the day to try out prolonged tantrums. The baby has left the building.

Even if i don't get any of these jobs that I'm applying for- it's so great to see all of the opportunity out there. I was slightly miffed to see a chemist job at abbott for $15. That's ridiculous. America does not value science. Until we do, we will continue regress into a nation of fat people making cheeseburgers.

Other than that, it's a good ( Read more... )

It's official: I've begun my job search. Amber helped me clean up a truly terrible resume and I'm cautiously optimistic about everything.  I found a permanent and temporary water testing job that really seemed cool. I'd be happy with either.  I had to awkwardly contact a professor and an old boss to get the referral-ok, but now I'm on my own.

I'm ( Read more... )

I randomly woke up early this morning thinking about finding a job. It's odd. There's pressure to find something non-bakery and yet no immediate pressure because we can survive with Brett's income. Yet here i am- wide awake at 6am, negotiating in my head about all of the scenarios.

The simplicity of walking into a bakery and being guaranteed a job ( Read more... )

I know you can't plan life and we never know what crazy hell tomorrow may bring, but I really like my 30's. Well, this phase any way.

I am getting my ass in gear and reclaiming my health. I want my outside and inside to be at ease at the same time.  I guess they call that a ' mind/body connection'.

I feel that 2016 is a year of new beginnings. I'm ( Read more... )

I know it's arbitrary to talk about weather, but I love these 60 degree days.  It's literally like someone delivered a bucket of rainbows to my door. I can't even complain about my dumb neighbor being loud,  because it is just too awesome out to complain! 😃
