Well…..I quit my job.  Let’s see, that’s the 3rd job I’ve gone through in the nearly 4 months I’ve been here in Seattle.  Shame on me.  I just can’t stand a job where I have nothing to do all day (and they locked us out of the internet so that couldn’t even save me from boredom) and they were just sooooo completely unorganized.  I lasted 4 days…….that’s 1 longer than the last job.  Ha ha ha!!!  Ok, I shouldn’t be so flippant about it.  I mean, I truly am broke at this point, and I’m old enough that I should be on a steady career path by now.  I just hate selling myself short when I know I’m put in a job where I’m not challenging myself at all, and some of the people I work with can barely work a computer.

So I quit yesterday and since I’m still living with my brother that means I have to put on the act that I’m still going to work. Shhh!  Don’t spill the beans on that one.  That’s especially for you Schris if you happen to be reading this today.  I’m hoping you’ll respect my privacy since this is kind of my private thoughts (that anyone can read ha ha ha!).  So I’m up at 5 in the morning, get dressed and then go to the boyfriend’s house for most of the day while he’s at work.  Yes, the boyfriend.  I’m still with him for some unknown reason.  Maybe because I’m pathetic and don’t want to have to answer the dreaded, “so are you dating anyone?” question everytime I see family.  It always seems ok for the guys in the family to be single, but as a girl slowly getting older, I’m starting to feel the secret thoughts of “geez, she should be in a relationship and having kids soon”.  Thank God nobody actually says it.  My mom is the only one I never feel that pressure from.  Well Mom and my stepmom too.  They always say something like, “Just because your brother and your friends are settling down and having families, doesn’t mean that’s what you’re supposed to do right now.  You’ve always followed your own path, and there are no rules that say you have to be married at 21 and other nonsense like that.  This is the 21st Century and you have a great head on your shoulders.  Your life will fall into place exactly the way it’s supposed to.”

Geez, just writing that stuff out makes me realized I’m blessed with a great family.  And the great thing is, my mom doesn’t just say this because I’m her daughter.  I’ve heard her say it to my cousin and other people like her brother’s and sisters.  If only she’d follow her own advice once in awhile.

So anyway, back to what I was originally getting at (I tend to digress when I write )  I quit my job but by yesterday afternoon I had two new job prospects.  One interview tomorrow for a job nearly identical to what I was doing back in Colorado, but it’s only part time for now unless they really like me and decide to make it full time.  The other one is right next to Boeing and is a job that is full-time with full benefits and great pay.  I’m really proud of myself that I can leave a job and have people “knocking on the door” the same day.

Moving day is still set for Friday afternoon and Saturday.  My brother’s gonna be sweet enough to help me.  Staying at a hotel for a month…..I really think this might be interesting.  I’ve been soaking up as much Auntie time with baby Dylan as I can.  It’s amazing how he changes everyday.  I guess I had better packing what little stuff I have.  It’s time for a new adventure!  New job. New “home”.  New start!  We’ll see where this new journey takes me =)
