More than at any other time in my life, I’m living in the right now.
I am happy with things, maybe that’s why.
My new job is excruciatingly busy. I do a lot of work every day. I was just trying to explain to Jeff just how much work I do every day and I couldn’t even [...]

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 [...]

Back to good
As I reflect on the past couple months of my life, it’s weird to think about how quickly things just go back to normal.
We’re drinking coffee this morning from the couch, while Jeff plays video games and I catch up on blogs from my much-too-busy week. There is no way to stay on top of [...]

The last piece
I heard through the grape vine today the real reason I lost my last job.
And it’s not really all it’s cracked up to be – the information. I mean sure, I have my closure. I can fall asleep tonight knowing for sure that they didn’t tell me the truth, that they lied to me. But [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
