Oh, hello there

Hi Friends.  It's been a long time away from the blog, hasn't it?  Life has been totally crazy on this end. 

When I got back from England (pictures coming later this week), I spent some time in PA with my family.  I came back to NY last week to start a new job!

I'm working for these guys:

and let me tell, they are just awesome!  My first week was unbelievably great.  I am so psyched!

Anyway, I'm back.  And ready to play!

a page turn

So, friends, things have settled in for me a bit.  I'm on the other side of looking for a job -- I signed the contract today for a new job starting in June.  I found a job in Manhattan, so I will be staying in the city for the foreseeable future.  This has certainly alleviated a fair amount of anxiety in me.  I really was anxious, my friends - so SO anxious.

The more choices there are, the harder it is to make the decision, don't you think?  (Before you answer, you should know that this is a scientifically proven concept.)  The idea of looking for a job was terrifying to me, because my options were endless.  My next step could have taken me anywhere!  Which makes it hard to take that first step, if you ask me.

Now that I have a job, I'm not going to lie, I feel the tiniest bit disappointed.  Please PLEASE don't get me wrong... I am so grateful to have a job - and one that I think will be fun, educational, and right up my alley, at that!  Honestly, though, I was somewhat looking forward to the notion of venturing off to... wherever!

That said, I'm going to seep my life in the essence of adventure.  Taking classes, cooking new things, taking trips to unfamiliar places.  It's time to sink my teeth in. 

A quote I heard recently...  "Stay hungry.  Stay foolish."

YES, PLEASE.





Also, thank you for your patience these past couple weeks. Blogging should be more regular again. :)

on job hunting


I've been needing this reminder a lot lately.  Last week I found out that I will be out of a job, come June.  Through an outrageous combination of circumstances, I am now looking for my fifth job in 18 months.  Needless to say, it sucks and I'm a bit stressed.  It can be difficult to remember that it has absolutely nothing to do with me. 


Anyway, in the last few days, I've happened by some interesting job-related tidbits...

- An article on how The Resume is Dead
- A Ted Talk about The Learning Revolution during which Sir Ken Robinson says,

"Very many people go through their whole lives having no real sense of what their talents may be, or if they have any to speak of." 

which I found very thought provoking.
