Interviews

So I had the two interviews today. Both of them went very well, as well as can be expected when sitting in front of a firing squad of those who determine your future. The first interview was about a 15 minute drive in a newer office. It was actually a really good interview, but the only problem was the pay...essentially half of what I was making before. I asked him to keep me in mind just in case I could not find something in the pay range I was looking for.

The second interview was with two people at the same time. I felt a little tag teamed, but overall I think it went ok. I was the first of many that they were going to be interviewing and again I think the pay I was requesting might be over their budget. *Sigh* I don't know what to do or what will happen. I am truly hoping to find something that will at least get me somewhat close to what I was making at my prior job.

What I really need to do is work on being self employed! I did look at some retail spaces, but the amount they wanted for the square footage they were offering was a little out of reach at this time, but more so than that..the person I spoke to seemed to bothered to even want to show the place. I have put it out into the universe, so it will manifest itself in due time.

It is only 6pm but I feel like it is midnite....I think I will go to bed & then just get up with a whole new attitude....*bah humbug*

I can't come up with a witty title....

So yesterday after I wrote my blog, I ended up doing the unthinkable....I went back to bed for about an hour. I finally decided to face the world and forced myself out of the bed....I literally had to hurl myself out of the comfort of the Tempurpedic in order to do something contructive with my day.

I decided to go get a pedicure & it is a good thing I did as my toes looked as if Wolfman Jack had been gnawing on them as a late night snack. Afterwards I headed to the Hillcrest Farmers Market for some tasty organic salad ingredients and some East African food. I ended up buying some bright and sunny sunflowers to help brighten my day. Stopped by my friend Ghias' house or a little bit & then headed back home.

Fast forward to today....I have two job interviews today. I have been unemployed for about a month after having worked with my prior employer for nearly 5 years. I have to say that interviews are somewhat intimidating. In all seriousness, you are being judged & they may or may not like you. The job market is pretty tough right now & all I can hope for is the best. The best way for me to approach it is this way....if either of these positions is for me, then I that is where I am meant to be. If not, then that means that something more suited for me will come along!

Wish me luck!

Rainy Day Adventures

Yesterday a good friend & I headed out to brave the rain in our usually sunny San Diego. There is a little bridge that I have always wanted to see & so we started there. We were lucky enough to see a beautiful & majestic hawk. He allowed us to get very close; although you can't tell by the picture posted.

Next we headed to the Little Italy Mercato where we just walked around and took in the sights & shared a birthday cake with a very happy lil 9 year old boy.

We finally ended up at Sunset Cliffs to see the oceanic splendor~the rain had dissipated & it did not seem as treacherous as one would have thought. Here is a pretty calm picture of the water, but what I found beauty in was this rusted gate. Much how I feel sometimes, worn & forgotten yet still strong & beautiful.

What will today bring? No one ever knows, but I do know that I need to get busy making some jewelry!

Sans Title

I started this blog over a year ago and have yet to really write anything at all. I guess I will just write about my daily life and ruminations. I will strive to make sure things are somewhat cohesive and that will be a challenge since my mind tends to jump from subject to subject much like a flea jumping from mongrel to mongrel.

It has been raining here the last few days & normally the rain tends to send me spiraling into a depression much like that on an old worn seat cushion. This time it is different, I am welcoming the rains & the cleansing it is bringing. I got up this morning & stepped outside just as the sun was rising through the mist & took a deep breath of life. There is so much energy that comes with the rain & I am going to do my best to embrace it like a lover would...with open arms & familiarity, drinking it in like a parched nomad wandering in a desert of nothingness.
