You sanity is important to us...Please hold until the next available life becomes available...(cue Musak)

Well, I can hardly believe it has been two and half months since I blogged! I really need to do better. But I do have a good reason. Since I last wrote I...

• Graduated! (Yea for me!)


• Moved out of my apartment.


• Put my life in storage.


• Filled out 478,958,127,346 job applications. (okay so it only feels like that many, but you get the idea.)


• Interviewed for 4 jobs and got rejected by several others. ( so it goes...)

Funny thing is that I spend all my time at the library trying to find a job in a library! Life can be so strange.

I am staying with my big brother Hairy for right now and I know I am stressing him out. My car is full of my things that didn't go into storage, but I am afraid to unpack it or I may never get it packed again! I found out on Sunday that the library in the town where my brother lives is looking for a librarian so of course I applied for that one. I told my brother that if I got the job I could live with him FOR-EV-ER! He laughed but a saw a glimmer of panic in his eyes!



Ah, the life of a vagabond! I long for a home of my own where I can settle down and raise okapi and gemsbok. It's funny. I have filled out so many applications (refer to # above) and while there were jobs that I thought I'd like and there were jobs that I figured I was qualified to do, it wasn't until today that I found one that really caught my interest. Of course, I sent off my resume right away and all but begged them to give me the job. It's in Kentucky though. Not that there's anything wrong with Kentucky, it's just that of all the places I thought of to go that didn't make my top 10 or the top 25 for that matter. It's practically in Ohio right near the state line, basically a suburb of Cincinnati. Anyway, I suppose it doesn't matter if it's the North Pole or the Swiss Alps until they offer me the job. (Please, please, please!)

I interviewed twice for a job in northern Utah and even came up to see the library system, at their invitation. I was so sure that they were going to offer me a job! They may still but I though that was going to be it. It would be a good opportunity and I would love being closer to my family who live nearby, but who knows. I'm not very good at playing the waiting game.

Three and 1/2 more weeks

Well folks, friends, and fictional characters, I am nearing the beginning of a whole new part of my life as a graduate of the U of A! I can hardly believe I have made it! I have filled out tons of applications for professional jobs, but have not really heard back from any of them. (That's a good thing right? It sure beats a stack of rejection letters.) This has been one of my most challenging semesters.

I wish I had some idea of where I might end up in the next month or so. I will let everyone know when I find out, but the unknown is frightening, though the possibilities are exciting.

I don't have a lot to write for now, but since I didn't post anything in March I thought it best to let folks know that I am still alive.


I am lucky to have a great support system when I wear myself out!:)


I may not post again until the middle of May. Final projects are calling...

A Tribute to the Past and the Future

Most of my friends who know me well know that I can seldom get through a meal without spilling food on my shirt. (That's even when I eat suspended from the ceiling with my food below me.) I am a sort of food magnet. (Hips don't lie!:)) I have been thinking a lot lately about interviewing for jobs as I will be graduating soon and I worry that something like the Tide® ad (see video below) will happen to me.

Of course this also reminded me of my brothers when we were younger. I would be on the phone or trying to watch a tv show and they would just blather out a bunch of nonsense to distract and annoy me. Everytime I see this add I laugh until I cry remembering those moments in the past, and the possible ones in the future.
