Accomplished today

Since, well, I whine too much here, I figure once in a while I should list things I've gotten done, or that make me happy. You know, all that happy therapist horseshit *evil grin*

- Chatted with pet via AIM. This was a long time in coming, and he is EVER so cute when drunk right from the Calling, and acting all shy around the Date. *evil grin*
- Called kanine Got VM, that's OK, I'll try again (*smootch*)
- Called Lou, talked to him for about an hour. VERY nice to hear him, glad I did, he leaves a week from Saturday. Must book time to call him again next week. We talked about England, wedding stuff (yes, still. There's some residual drama, they're still working through, and heard the stuff that's been happening to them) He whapped me about some boy things. Let's hope I can take his advice.

And
something probably most important
- Found INCREDIBLE job opportunity on Craigslist, and have finally gotten off my duff, recreated a (rather cold) resume, and sent off for consideration. This Job Could Fix My Financial Problems for now. It's temp and contract, but ongoing. and MIGHT be the thing that jumpstarts my attitude. I'm very happy I sent it off, but I'm nervous - it's a Big Deal, and the pay is WAY more than I ask. (although I SHOULD be asking in this range) Plus, it's in a nice neighborhood in Cambridge. So I guess we'll see. it's been years since I wasn't "good enough" for a job. I hope I haven't aimed too high. BUT to be honest, I have the varied skills they need.

*shrugs*

Tomorrow, I go through the basket sitting here, and go through my boxes of shoes. to see what is going out. I REALLY should be evil about what I get rid of. There are some cute pairs I just never wear, but I still want to keep. And the purses I want to get rid of. I think I'm going to give things the shot on Ebay, then put what hasn't sold to Velvet Garden. That way I write the descriptions once, and maybe they'll sell right away. Now to figure out what I want for some things.

I actually want to have a good look at my niece tomorrow, without my sister hovering like a dumb bitch. I know the Unit will let me feed her. She'll be here for the morning. After the attitude my sister gave me, she's LUCKY she isn't counting on me to take her place on the nephew's field trip. I'd tell her to shove it. I have to plan some things to do with him over the summer - I'm thinking Movie Camp. He's only doing some Baseball thing, and otherwise stuck in the house with my sister and new baby. That ain't fair. This might be the year he goes to the Science Museum, and maybe the MFA. I'd LOVE to take him to the Natural History Museum in NYC. I'm not sure I'd be allowed to take him out of state *grins*

Gah, it's hot. Need water then sleep.

Today has been not much of anything

I ended up feeding my niece and sitting with her asleep, after my mother practically beat a burp out of her. I don't understand that, but *shrugs* I don't get much regarding babies.

Except that I don't want any.

Seriously, I felt NOTHING sitting there with a baby in my lap. No "gee I'd like to have one." I think my maternal instinct is broken *grins* No really, not that I don't know enough to not let anything happen to her, but I don't want one. I get urges to hold babies, then my arm gets sore, or they start to smell and/or cry, and it's all "Give it back." The clock isn't ringing, and I'm not feeling any empty feelings. I like taking care of myself, I feel no need to carry on the "line" as it were. I think there's at least one of us in a generation, that is just Not Interested.

Don't get me wrong. I'm actually OK with kids, I can babysit, I can hold and coo at them. But then I'm cool with giving em back. I figure if I ever feel the need to hold one, I can find someone WITH one, hold it, and then give it back. So feel free to ask me to babysit, I so will. Then I will go get drunk *evil grin*

I'm hungry but don't feel like getting dressed. I might have to order something delivered. I wish I hadn't eaten my whole pizza last night. I dunno what to do - I don't want to order from the same place I've been, They must think I'm a cow with no ability to cook (ok, they are correct *evil grin* but I don't need to be putting their kids through college either.)

Anyway, off to graze, more later I hope. ManRay tonight, I think the short dress with my boots, and I dunno what over my arms. I'll think about it. I'm thinking something black or grey - I'm probably going with a silver eyeshadow to match my fingers. I'm considering redoing the nails tho, if I have any of those french manicure strips left. Maybe I'll wear the purple and black skirt I got in London, my purple corset if I can get my sweaty ass into it, and my long sleeved lace top. I'm planning a nice outfit for noone to see me in it. *snicker*

Whooooo

Mummy Got a CHECK today!
Wheeee!
Yay for CPA #1 sending me a check.
Boo on emailed resume not turning up anything from the contract gig. yet.
it would just be too convenient. You know?

Now I'm going to the bank, and getting food after that. yay food.

Ruh-Roh

The contract position is GONE from Craigslist. I can't find it anywhere and I forgot to link to it. I assume they were deluged with resumes. Hopefully mine is one of the first, but I don't have the "corporate" background they might be looking for AND they have an accounting package I've never worked in. I'm actually baffled - this has NEVER been a problem. Possibly they're taking a while to weed through resumes. I assume I WILL get a "thanks but no thanks" email at some point.

Honestly, I never have a problem getting a position I want. My issue is usually getting positions I DON'T want. *shrugs* I have audit experience, they're not actually going to get anyone better than I (Yep, that's the arrogance showing. I've turned down positions, so I'm not worried at ALL about getting what I want. This just sounds - pretty good for right now.)

*shrugs* Weird - I can't say it enough - I'm not used to "competing" Sorry to say so in this job market, but I'm not. My problem, IMHO has always been OVERWORK, too much. Part of my rebellious streak comes from my lack of time for me. I felt like all I did was work. My life was non existent. And I shouldn't even complain.

Oh well, I'll get an interview or I won't. There are other opportunities for me to send my resume on for.
