No really…I am.
Because I’m 25 (tomorrow) about five years ago I was living with my best friend, had short-ass hair and was about to be the maid of honor in a friend’s wedding…
I’m 25.
Really.
Happy Birthday me.

Leaving
Usually when I run screaming in the other direction from something it’s because there is a situation involved that I cannot deal with anymore. When I make sudden snap decisions, the inability to resolve something is typically what motivates those snap decisions.
In my head I can hear all the Pat-isms and mom-isms that I’ve been blessed to receive in the past few years in regards to decision making and thinking in advance. There are a couple of reasons that I’m ignoring them: 1# If this all works out I will actually be much better off than I am now in many ways, 2# the company I am with is not my end goal-I don’t need (or want) to be here scratching my way to "the top", and 3# besides everything else…I’ve begun to feel horribly claustrophobic here.
Here’s to a first interview going well (hopefully).

Why I love my dad:
He will take a moment to call me when he knows that Christmas specials are on that I used to watch as a child…so that I can watch it when he’s watching it.
I’m Movin’ On
Like Rascal Flatts. :) Well, hopefully at least.
I have found that my commitment issues demonstrate themselves most profoundly when it comes to employment. At least this time I’m trying to stay with the same company while satisfying the need to leave. Hm…can’t stay in the same place for…gee, that’s like moving a million times in the past few years too I suppose. Oops; so, maybe that’s two areas where it comes out with a raging force. Whatever. Jobs I’ve had in little over ten years:
- Ivars (yah-I was a teenager and it was at the mall, okay)
- Fred Meyer (two locations)
- Tiny coffee stand in Fred Meyer owned by the mafia-two locations also (I really don’t think I’m kidding either…I was warned about it even-the mafia part I mean)
- B&B Auto Parts
- Burlington Coat Factory
- Fremont Fresh Market
- Bath & Body Works
- Structure
- Therapeutic Health Services
- CRC Health
- Huge coffee place company thing
Probably, I’m even forgetting a something or two in there. I’m doing my best to not have to add to that list until it’s somewhere that I’m going to be truly satisfied with for a while. Plus, I get kick-ass benefits. Got a call from a job person in current coffee place for a position outside of the building I currently feel stuck & stifled in-first interview Thursday. I’m praying to whatever Gods are out there to give me a hand here. I really want out, for a lot of reasons…some of them being very personal. If I must simply bide time until I’m done with this degree before moving on to the next degree, then I refuse to be somewhere that I’m unhappy. My life will not last forever and I also refuse to waste time anymore.
Speaking of school-finally got my first two projects back in the class I’m currently in. Thoughts about said projects? That I would do awful as I spent hardly any time on them (most of that time was stolen from work). Actual results of both projects? A+. I rule. I’m doing even better than I thought I would. Eventual masters degree…I’m seriously looking forward to you.
I’m way proud of myself, and obviously I’m not afraid to say it. And you can bet your whatever that I’m walking and doing the whole ceremony thing when I get those degrees too.
