Compulsary Neckwear

interview1

I had an interview today. I woke up in a generally bad mood because I knew I needed to wear a tie - something that I hardly ever do. It's not that I don't like ties - I do. I have quite a few that I think are very nice looking too, it's just - when I wear them I'm doing in on my terms. I don't know if it's just me or what but I kind of hope I "look like" a graphic designer. Most of them that I know, well - they don't wear ties.

I've probably checked my email more often since this whole thing has started and just about every time I login, there's nothing new. Then - one time I checked it and a single "(1)" showed up. Excitedly I opened the inbox to find...

Spammed. But hey, who could pass up complimentary glamour shots?

Rocking the want ads

Alright kids here's the update. My last post was a bit ambiguous but, here's the reasoning. My portion and my cup God's got a reason for everything that happens in our lives. I've often wondered how many times a day God steps into our happenings and intervenes. Like if you're a couple minutes late to work, maybe it's because if you were on time you would have run over a kid or something. But lately my portion and my cup have undergone some significant shifts. I found out on January 30th that my department at work is being "eliminated" and most marketing functions will be outsourced. My boss was let go immediately. I on the other hand... The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places They're giving me 8 weeks to find something new and giving me outplacement services, as well as giving me referrals and putting in a good word for me with clients. It's wierd but I honestly feel that I have never been more spiritually prepared to deal with something like this, at the same time things have kind of hit a lull on the adoption front. I know that there is something better out there for me, and honestly I'm looking forward to finding it. With the prospect of adding to the Smith clan in the not-so-distant future, now is a great time to find a new job. So if you hear of anything that you think I might be a good fit let me know.
