Hey. Since the only person I know will see this is Randikins, just let me say my absence is due to having nothing positive to say. Nothing. So I would rather say nothing.
Maybe I will get back on track and have something to share. We shall see.

Till then........
Ciao

I realize it is not my job in life to control the actions of those I care about.  That is not a job I want.  Essentially people's lives are none of my business.......unless they make it my business.  HOWEVER, I am confronted with a situation where I am watching a friend make the same decision over and over, getting the same results.  Peripheral ( Read more... )

Synopsis:

Training, midterm, birthday, heartbreak, friendship, destitution, distraction, hope, assignments, support, loneliness, confidence, sunshine, determination, love.

Not necessarily in any particular order, but that's the short of what's been going on in my world since the last time I posted.

I'm nervous about my first shift on the floor, at ( Read more... )

So I was wondering about the old saying "A friend in need is a friend indeed".  Does anyone agree with that?  I have been in need.......aloalot lately.  Don't like it at all, but my friends have been there for me as best as they can.  So by needing them, does that make ME a real friend?  I always thought of it in terms of the one being needed being ( Read more... )

I've been in San Diego since the middle of last November, going to school and job hunting.  I JUST got offered a job today.  It's not doing what I am going to grad school for, but it will pay the bills.  Yeah!  So why do I feel like I want to throw up??

The bug man came today to spray the apartment.  Okay, but no one told me I would have to "bug ( Read more... )

I decided to take some time and catch up on my LJ friends.  That was a nice break from tag-teaming assignments, attending chats, and job hunting.

Yesterday a friend from home sent me a beautiful arrangement of flowers "just because she could".  I totally would not have expected that from her.  It made my day.

I was supposed to spend a few days in ( Read more... )

Okay, so I tend to avoid this part of my journal.  It's much easier to comment on what other LJ users  post.  No, it's safer.  So there.  :\

Today was a decent day.  It was productive.  Class went well.  Part of it was spent watching the instructor ( now a Judge) on an episode of Law and Order, the newer real version, prosecuting a ( Read more... )

Today is proof of my theory that it not WHAT you know, but WHO you know.    I have been job hunting since I came to California in November of last year.  Lo and behold I got a job, today, that my roommate hooked me up with.  Humm.   Actually I am very excited.  I don't do well not working at something else besides school.  Apparently.
