"Rearview Mirror" - Pearl Jam



I just added my resume to Career Builder.com and it spit out some recommendations based on my resume! Senior Citizen’s home activities director or Pizza Hut Delivery Driver! I am on my way!!! (Or several jobs in the US Army) Today I applied for a job that demanded an hour long personality test. It was like a facebook quiz but not as fun. It also had two math sections! I skipped the entire math reasoning section. Not surprisingly it stated the fact that I could use some math courses in the evaluation.

I have been pondering if I am a city or a country girl. (Is there a fb quiz for that?) I love being out here in the country while staying with Mary. But admit I miss being closer to the city to head out to a show at a moment’s notice. I know my reaction to an ugly orange spider the other day does not indicate I will be camping anytime soon.

It has been so enjoyable to watch my dogs enjoy the open space. Della spotted her first rabbit recently. I thought she was going to bring it back for me she ran so fast! Jasper’s sight is not so stellar; he has had two bunnies in his path but did not know it.

The job search continues. I am trying to think outside of my box. I have been exploring more general job websites now. I think I have hit all the Universities and colleges in the surrounding areas. (Maybe a few a little farther east also) I got declined for an advising job at University of Washington but it was Adviser Senior. I was pushing it-LOL! UW has new job postings daily so I frequent it. Thanks to a contact with their Communications program, I am awaiting one to apply for. It is working with Grad students. I believe I can work well with any age student. Basically I feel good if I find one or more to apply for a day.

My mind has been in overdrive, especially since we watched “What the Bleep do we know?” I am not sure I have words to properly describe how all the theories work. I just know it has opened my mind, made me think long and hard about how I have been living my life. Most importantly, how I want to see my life in the future. Visualizing what I need feels so good to me. The women I am staying with are absolutely incredible.

Watched the Tinted Windows concert on Direct TV last week. I will tell you one thing; if you looked away you would think Taylor Hanson was Robin Zander singing. They are a tad boring live but the music is so perfectly power pop. Hanson was meant to sing this style of music. Bun E. looked really fit and healthy, I heard once he had back issues. Schlessinger knows how to write a perfect pop song but we knew that already from his penning “That Thing You Do!” (Which we listened to the soundtrack several times up to Alaska and back)

I haven’t blogged yet about what happened to Chris Murphy. Chris was hit by a drunk driver while riding his bike. By the grace of God, he only has a broken collarbone. He was thrown from his bike into a parked car. I just felt sick to my stomach hearing this. I certainly sent him my get well quick wishes. Word was that Greg was learning the bass parts so they could still play a big Hali show. I think he could be a great voice for “Don’t drink and drive” in Canada once he recovers.
