- Work at the Army has been going okay. Since the Toy N Joy incident and all the happenings surrounding RBMBA's resignation I have been laying really low just focusing on one item at a time. I took Friday off and went to an interview, though I don't think I"ll take the job if it is offered, even though it would be a HUGE increase in pay. I think TSA has more to offer me and I'm not ready to leave yet. I am scared to go to work tomorrow. More of myself and my attitude than of the huge pile of work. I can handle the work one, single item at a time and focus on it that way rather than "OMG - look at all this crap!" My attitude, that's another story. *sigh* I am too high maintenance at work but on the flip side of that con is my passion and drive to do good work. I am trying to brainstorm ways to not be so emotional about changing landscapes at work, but I can't re-program my brain in one fell swoop. I've always been like this - it's in my DNA. Literally. It is in my DNA. My mom is the same way. I'm going through a period where I think poorly of myself for the way I am. I don't know if I should embrace or snuff out the passionate person I am. *sigh* More on that later I guess.
- Cmas - I got a ton of stuff for Cmas: a lot of games for game night, cute clothes, pottery, gift cards galore, lottery tickets (I won $18), office supplies, and a few surprisers like an iPod Nano and a beautiful silver and diamond necklace. OH - and I got lots of socks too. Dane was most happy about his new shaver/razor, remote control helicopter, and glock 9 or 40 or something like that from his mom. It was her duty weapon. The kitties got grass (that they wont touch) and a purring cat. They also got a USB fan, though that gift was originally intended for Dane. He got this fan that attaches to a USB port and then blows on you and keeps you cool at your computer. This fan must have offened Boo and Dewey because Dane can no longer turn it on....oh wait - I'm being told he actually had to put it in his laptop bag because they sought it out on the shelf and smote it. There are now two kitty tooth marks in it. Dane is NOT pleased.
- This past weekend was fun - we spent it with friends and had a great Cmas meal and gift exchange. Dane and I saw Night at the Museum last night, it was cool. I got my iPod all loaded up and now I'm going to go on my hunt. Since I can't get new clothes or bras till after my surgery, I will just focus on demolishing my Bed, Bath, & Beyond, Jo-Ann, and Office Depot cards. I'll wait to pounce on the Borders card so I can go with HG.
- New years has a Sonic's game and fireworks at the Needle in store for us, should be a good time.
That's all for now. I'll post more on work as it develops.

Meant to call and ask about the job interview...but as you can imagine, our weekend was a bit hetic with the snow and all. Sorta made anyone's life who waited till the last minute a living hell....luckily, I did not wait until the last minute...but traveling out and about on Fri/Sat & Sun was pure insanity...not to mention half the roads are still not plowed. My poor Baby Jetta:(
Anyway, I'm sorry the interview didn't turn out to be the right gig for you yet. I'd be shocked if the first one you went on WAS the right job right off the bat, but...there will be more offers to come. Hang in there dearie, work woes totally suck...but I am just not sure it's avoidable in life. Like all pitfalls, bumps and bruises...it's part of the learning experience, no?
Glad D took good care of you and you had a fine Christmas in WA. Sounds wonderfully relaxing!
Remind me when your surgery is again please?
Hey there Sarah - love the new blog pic. My surgery is Feb 12th. I will need 2 weeks to recover, but I can't be bedridden, I will need to be somewhat active.
