gloria gaynor sings it best...

here's what's going on...

i had a birthday... happy birthday to me! it was exciting, only because i got to hang out with some of the coolest people in the world... i'm definitely feeling old these days and hanging out on beale with some good friends, good food and good fun was good times!!! i am working on getting pictures up... oh - and happy birthday to blake and danae... we all got to celebrate together, which was incredible... it's pretty amazing when 3 out of 10 people are celebrating a birthday at the table...

next item on the agenda... the job hunt...

it's actually going spectacularly... this week has definitely been a turn-around from last week... with the way things are going, i'm feeling a lot more confident about my decision to move to nashville, which means i probably won't be moving to the big l-r... (sad times in some ways... but i'll still close enough to visit!!!)

here's what has happened job-wise... i met with a lady from a staffing agency today and got hired there, which means i'll be doing temp/temp-to-hire work starting very soon... and because of my mad computer skills (who would be able to guess that i know a ton about excel?), the lady wants me to have a better job than a brainless one... so tomorrow i have an interview with an engineering firm in the marketing department as an administrative assistant... the pay is really good... so i'm hoping (and praying) that it's a good fit for everyone... i would still be temporary, but could become permanent maybe... but there are a bunch of other people interviewing, so i'm hoping it goes well...

if it doesn't work out, i'll do some other temp job... but there are some other things on the horizon...

i'm working on my substitute application... it's kind of on the back burner... but all that i have left to worry about are reference forms, which i've been unable to pull off the website... so i'll have to call to see about getting them... and then i've got everything ready to go for that...

and i have also applied for a student ministry-ministry assistant position at a church close by... it's about half administrative/half graphic design type stuff... so it would be great, as well... i haven't heard anything back, and i don't know what that process will look like, so i'm just applying and interviewing where i can...

i also received notification from the state of tn for a job that i applied for... i have to go take a written test, but i have 6 months to do so, so that's also on the back burner...

ok, i guess that's enough rambling about the job front... it's just easier to type in one place rather than trying to tell everyone... even though most people know (and at least one has heard it twice!!! :)...)
