moving on

I am so surprised how different my life can change in a year. Since July when I left California and Tim behind, I felt like I was suspend in some sick joke impersonation of my life. The job thing was so bad that I didn't know how I would ever claw my way where I was. You go to college and job after job you make a little bit more and a little bit more and then you are suddenly working for slightly above minimum wage. For awhile my life sucked beyond the telling of it. My head is above water now, I am in love and I didn't know I could trust anyone like this but Steve makes it easy.

Less than 24 hours

It has kinda been a sucky thanksgiving break for me. Besides for maybe Sunday, because I went out with a friend and had vietnamese food and went shopping but mostly I spent my time alone baking large amounts of christmas cookies to send to family and shopping by myself. In less than 24 hours my beloved returns to me. Hooray! I'm silly I know but being in the house alone is just not as fun as you might think after a day or two. Plus with all stress at work of being a real financial type now I need some one to come home to, to be with, who always has my back. I'm so thankful to have Tim in my life.

Catharsis

It has long been my philoshopy that journaling is very healthy and helps you maintain your sanity. I have lost my sanity recently and so I've decided to try and blog more often for those of you who read this. Also I will actually write in my personal journal (something I have only done twice since moving to california). I just need to put it back in my routine.

On the work front, I'm now in my second week of work at my new firm. Last week was just bordem and not knowing what to do but now I feel I have a little more direction and I at least have my study materials for the series 7. I also sucessfully asked for the friday off before labor day so I'm going to Oregon for that weekend with Tim and his family.

To bed I go, but check back soon for more updates :)

Ode to tedium

Tim and I were discussing how every job in the world must be tedious at times. (This was actually my stance on the subject he disagreed). Right now though I say bring it on! I'm ready to cold call, send out flyers and join every professional group in town. I am so ready to be working not in just any job but in my chosen field and if down the road I get burned out well then it's back to school for this girl and then I can just get my masters in something else. If there is one thing I would say about myself is that I am adaptable and willing to change tacts if one isn't working - I refuse to beat a dead horse.

So I just had an interview with the firm of my dreams, and I'm still waiting on the offer from the firm of my nightmares. I have hope however, that even if I have to be unemployed for a little while that I will be able to find a job in my chosen profession and not just at another booth peddling my wireless solutions.

I also have been considering this morning that if I do in fact get this job with the start date of July 23rd. I might skip town for a bit (since there would be no chance of going on vacation with Tim's family) I miss my peeps, all of them! So then the question would be where to go? Maybe home, maybe CO, maybe FL...but I think it just might be a good idea. Here are some pictures of the totally rad people I miss:
