Closing Day!
We're off to have a breakfast at our favorite place and then go to the bank. And then, maybe, I don't know. Maybe buy a house? I'm in that kind of mood...
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

ION, now that the temp assignment has dried up, I'm going back into job hunt mode yet again. I'm hoping that I'll get another assignment soon, but there's no guarantee of that.
My biggest enemy in all of this is myself. I'm afraid that no one will want to hire me, and that leads to lots of nasty procrastination.
I also need to figure out if there are jobs related to my own field (promotions and marketing) that won't put me into the kind of hellish situation I got into in my old job. Nothing wrong with the field itself - it's just a piss-poor match for the way I work. Yes, I'm planning to change fields, but I think I might need to work in lower-stress version of my old job for a year or two while I work out the details of what classes, etc. I need to take to get where I want to go.

Happy Closing, Tom & Nora!
If everyone is to be believed, my first dinner party was a great succeess. The cannellini bean dip was fabulous and is completely gone, as are all of the chocolate covered goodies. There was a little bit of pasta yet, and I sent that home with Teacup Guy. I am very happy today because my apartment is still all organized and cozy, and I have a ton of energy today for some reason.

Happy Birthday tiggy and Epic!
Happy Closing Day, Nora and Tom!
Anne, that sounds like a good plan. I'm sorry this is being so rough on you. I hope that you're able to find something that is a good fit soon.
Anne, ION, I wanted to call you yesterday and realized that I didn't have your new phone number. I'll have to fix that (I was too tired to e-mail). Anyway, I got the coolest English crochet book at Winterthur this weekend. It's tablecloths, napkin rings, placemats, wall hangings an all kinds of stuff. It's 20 projects, and there are only a few that I don't like. Such a cool book! Oh, and I started a new sweater, and am almost finished with my sleeveless lace shell. I'm so excited!

Ditto. Unfortunately, one of my reactions when under constant stress like this is to retreat into inaction. Not helpful in the least. Plus, this has put me into a decent-sized depression, which makes me feel as if there's nothing I want to do, work-wise. Also not a good motivator for the job hunt.
The crochet book sounds really interesting! I need to pick up the crafty stuff again sometime soon, I think. I owe a number of people some finished items, and am more than a few months behind.
Let me make sure that I have your correct email, and I'll send you my number.
