Ch-ch-ch-changes...

No clue where that is from... a commercial maybe? In honor of making changes, I thought this post should be my most hated color: pink!

I wonder why I am so afraid of changes. In the past 12 months, I have bought my own house, bought a car, and been the "mom" to a mini Aussie named Gus. I don't deal well with changes, hence the "Post puppy syndrome" I went through where I cried the first month (or 2 or 3) when I got Gus.

Anyways, as most of you know, I hate my job. Or most likely, my boss. He's one of those that tells lies so often he doesn't know what the truth is. He buys stuff with company money... gets paid for overtime for doing personal stuff. Just not the greatest man... the type where he says "good morning" and I just want to throw something because he gets on my nerves so much. Luckily, his latest outburst over the phone at me last week was witnessed and he was deemed "stupid and appalled by his behavior". I've been looking for a job for the past few months. Had one interview... and that's about it.

My old boss from when I was a student assistant is leaving this month to move to Seattle. I'm sad because even after two years, we are still good friends. Luckily, email exists! But one of my friends mentioned trying to get her job, which scares me. Its a lot more work, which would be for any job I apply for. I've learned to get out of my shell, mainly when the job calls for it. And it would be nice to be back with people I know... plus, more money, which is always a good thing, especially with the Trib' being my newest purchase. And with Gus thinking that it is totally ok to demolish his toys without a thought to being bored later. So I think I will apply... I won't worry or be bummed if I don't get a call back. I'm very limited with job qualifications on programs because my work depends solely on a scheduling system (which for scheduling systems - its rocks), heck the "Office of Naval Intelligence" in D.C. uses the system!

Anyways, I thought this job would hook me up with a few more programs to add to the resume... a bit more experience with people AND it will get me out of my current position... I won't be trapped there... so if I can ever figure out how to get into real estate (no job openings anywhere) OR be the girl that changes the way that downtown Lubbock looks -- wouldn't it be cute with little shops and NO one way streets???-- then I could just leave. Not exactly what employers want to hear, but hey, what's a girl to do?
