I have been offered and have accepted a new, full-time position with benefits and paid time off in the infant room at a children's learning center. Yay, me!
Currently writing my letter of resignation for the chiropractic clinic... Ugh. Not fun. Yet, strangely exhilarating.

My boss's boss told me that I am doing an excellent job and they can see results from my work. I'm having an impact. My editors and advisers on the paper keep complimenting my journalism skills - most especially my investigative reporting. My friends love me. I'm winning.
Our university president told me today that a donor told him he chose to give us his papers over a competing archives because of our "far superior staff." :D
Survived my first major disagreement/awkward getting in trouble with my boss' boss, AND he came away from it with greater respect for my intelligence/abilities BUT he still believes that I admire & respect his practices and intelligence. HA HA!
My direct boss is awesome, but this guy is a legendary jerk. His name brings forth so many horror stories from anyone who works with food in this city. He was the first person I met at the job fair; I knew immediately that he was going to be tricky to deal with. If any of y'all remember my horrible last boss, you'll be glad to know that what I learned there is actually paying off. WOOHOO

I once wrote an article for my college magazine titled 'On Social Life and Unicorns' about how both are awesome, and neither exist. People got really mad.
A response appeared in the next issue titled 'In Defense Of Unicorns' which supported a ban on all internet access from the dorms in order to foster better social interactions among the students. I like to think I was the winner of that particular debate.

I don't remember the exact quote, but the head RA (who wrote it) said that she loves looking at pretty photos of Ireland online, and would get more studying done without internet access to distract her. Hence the ban. We all assumed "Ireland" was a euphemism for "unicorn porn".

She is now a nun, and I run the IT department for a software development company. Sometimes life works out exactly the way you would expect.

Sigh. That debate still rages on. It's a shamehow many people will blindly defend something without a good, solid, rational reason.

Thankfully, even though I'm 40, my body remembers what it was like to be healthy and is quickly going there now that I've given it the opportunity. :)

Thank goodness for that body memory -- I don't think I'd ever convince myself to exercise anymore if it wasn't for that!

My grandfather used to take me with him to bars

I was the ruse to have my grandfather get to the fire station for his beers. They had shuffleboard games, so he would tell my grandmother I wanted to play shuffelboard.

How did I not know about this room until today? It is Saturday. I wore a low cut top. We drove up the gorgeous coast to see our amazing musician friends play bluegrass at the unspeakably quaint San Gregorio Store. I saw my old flame there (totally irrelevant) - he is an amazing guitar player. I took my family out to eat on the way back home. It...
