My dog literally could not wag his tail for about 20 of the last 24 hours.
And I don’t know if you know, but I’m kind of obsessed with my dog. I’d do anything for his cute face. So when something is not right in his world it pretty much turns into a nervous break down [...]

The new schtick
Just about everywhere we go someone asks how it’s going.
“How is the new job? Do you love it?”
And I find, this time around, it’s so much harder to just say yes, even though I do. I’m more cautious this time. I’m more guarded. I’m more reluctant to tell the whole world that I think this [...]

Day 1
It’s funny how just one day takes me right back to where I left off all those weeks ago the night before I lost my job – a place where life was safe and secure.
I met Jeff in the driveway after work this evening with my dog’s leash in hand. We futzed to throw dinner [...]

Official
So, I’ve finally started telling people, which I guess means I should just say it outloud – I start my new job on Monday!
Weeeeee! On Monday morning, I report to work. Meaning, I will get dressed, and put on make up, and pack a lunch and leave the house to do an actual job that [...]

What is next
I know I should be writing more.
About the conclusion of this journey that started 19 very long weeks ago. About the journey that ripped me apart and forced me to put myself back together. About the journey that’s forced me to persevere, and see the bright side even when it didn’t seem like there was [...]

Yes or no, yes or no, yes or no
I have no way of knowing how this week (well, hopefully this week) is going to turn out. The answer is going to be yes or no. I’m going to end up with that (dream) job, or I’m not.
But either way, and the hardest part, is that I have to continue to move forward. I [...]

Results
The waiting is over, and the result was good – a final interview.
I don’t have much to say, besides that I am absolutely excited and a little bit nervous.
No matter the outcome of this, I need to thank all of you. It’s amazing how the Internet becomes your own little cheer leading squad in times [...]

Waiting
This morning I’m waiting. I’m praying, I’m hoping. For good news. In a couple forms, actually.
But it’s true what they say, waiting IS the hardest part. Especially when you know you really want something. And as it turns out, I want full time, a job to care about, a place to show up to on [...]

Nerves
I don’t quite know what it is that makes me nervous about going on job interviews.
I mean, let’s be realistic, for most of my career I spent my life conducting them. I know how interviews work: Open ended questions and silence until you fill it with your own voice. But even knowing how they work, [...]

The last 48 hours
I’ve wished all the appropriate dads in my life a happy day.
I sang “Short Dick Man” out loud. Including the stuttery part. You know, “don’t, don’t, don’t…”
A close friend of ours became a father.
I went to sleep before the sunset after spending the day at the beach.
I got the first sunburn of the year. And [...]
