So, uh, hi!

I used to post here, not much, but some, and a couple years ago at that. I used to live in China and then I went to work on a cruise ship, and those are pretty much my claims to fame. I don't expect anyone to remember me, though!

I still work on cruise ships, but I'm home for a couple months, and have been getting back into my old internet haunts as much as possible. Something made me think of this site the other day, and I thought I'd pop in and say hello!

Things are going down (up? sideways?) in flames.

I just printed out a new pallas's cat image for my wall.

I will be taking my project leader certification exam at 1pm Central time. Good wishes and ~ma are very much appreciated.

Also, hi, zuisa!

Hi zuisa! I remember you. Are you still sailing the seas?

Zuisa, I remember your ship job! So it's still working for you?

I'm an introvert, but I like coming in to the office to hear the conversations around me and the presence of people. I've always enjoyed going to busy, crowded places to observe the people going about their activities. I just don't want to interact with any of them.

I miss being in an office. Home has too many distractions.

I can't wait to hear the latest, Sara. Sounds like there's change coming, some way, some how. And that's fantastic for Karen, but I know you're going to miss her.

Hi zuisa!

As noted last Sunday, that is one of my favorite things!

Hey zuisa!

Hi, zuisa!

Thanks!!

I am still on ships! I don't love it anymore, and I am trying to figure out something else to do, but I did go and meet a boy and fell in love and now I'm more hanging around for him. Some days that feels pathetic, and some days it feels romantic, but it is what it is.

Hi Zuisa!

Well, I should hear about the job at the nearby university today or tomorrow. The waiting is making me nuts! I did hear from the not-so-near university about another job (lower pay, longer commute, more interesting work content), and they're waiting to get sign off on funding before pulling the hiring trigger, but I'm apparently a decent contender there. And I'd get to add Coursera course creation to my resume, which would be nice. I think I'd rather have the closer, higher paying job. It seems like it would have some interesting challenges, and there's be some resume fodder there, too.

Honestly, at this point I just want a job offer.
