Follow Your Dreams... Or Some Bunk Like That
It's proven there are sanitation workers out there who love their job. They pick up trash for a living and they love it. After almost 10 years in the design profession, I think it may be time for me to consider a new path in life. No, it's not because I'm not good at it, it's because I die a little each day. I'm miserable. I have had two large ( Read more... ) -
Wondering
Is there a way to archive old LJ entries, you know, zip them up, save them locally to a HD and delete them from the account? I just want to clean things up a bit. I've had this account for a LONG time and I think I'd just like to get rid of some stuff. It's just not for public consumption any longer. -

Enough!
I have decided it's time for me to de-stress. And not just for an hour or a day, but for good. I stress about everything, even silly things. I have to stop. What's the use of stressing anyway? I was doing yoga last night and it hit me. I can go about my life in a state of panic, or I can just chill. It won't be easy, but I have to try ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
My dog may have been bitten by a brown recluse tonight. I saw her batting at something in the hall so I got up to check. I found a spider with two legs missing. She lost interest and walked away and I grabbed a shoe to squash it. I didn't completely obliterate it so we were able to identify it. I am 99.9% sure it's a recluse. This is bad because a ( Read more... ) -
D-Day
I start my new job tomorrow. Oddly enough, I start work on the anniversaries of both the battle of Midway and D-Day. To say that I was nervous would be an understatement. At least I'm not storming a beach amid heavy artillery fire. Of course, who wouldn't be nervous of their first day? I've been at home, at my own mercy, for the past year. This is ( Read more... ) -
Slow and Steady
Okay, so maybe I wasn't so steady sometimes. After a year of searching and worrying, I've found a new job. I'm frightened, but who isn't when they start something new. It's like visiting a foreign country or something. I have high hopes and I can't wait. I start Monday ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I'm taking it easy today. My weekend wasn't stressful, but it was somewhat busy, and the weather didn't help. It's hot, very hot. I'm watching The Love Boat online to just keep calm. Tomorrow is supposed to be the day I find out how the interview went. It will be a yes or no, obviously. I'm nervous, also obviously, but I'm nervous about all of it. ( Read more... ) -
A Reflection on Self-Esteem
In my life, I've had a lot of struggles with self-esteem. Those struggles usually involved some kind of need to feel important or valid in a situation where I was neither of those things... or so I thought. When I was in school, the emphasis was on popularity and what usually made someone popular. I wasn't rich, I didn't have a lot of cool stuff or ( Read more... ) -
Every New Beginning...
I had a job interview today, the first real one since I lost my job over a year ago. I was terribly nervous. This is a great company, very professional and high energy. I am one of two candidates and I should know something by next Wednesday. Let's just say I would love to work for this company! This kind of job and this kind of environment is what ( Read more... )
