Regarding yesterday’s entry, I forgot that I need to resize the photos so that they’ll fit into the frame neatly and not overpower the entry. But let’s get serious. I don’t think I’ll be doing those photo entries anymore because they are a pain in the boot anyway. Plus, very hard to read on mobile, and we’re all heading mobile anyway, arent’ we (according to a source at the seminars I attending in Vegas two weeks ago, mobile usage increased 503% last year)?

So I’ll keep it easy on all of us and just try to update as best I can. If I post photos, I’ll link to them, I guess.

So, hi! Happy Monday! Did I tell you about all the irons in the fire regarding work? So far, the following:

  • Current work situation continues on an OK path. There are a few hiccups with regards to my next development cycle, but I’ll take them in stride and continue on with a positive attitude! Right.
  • Headhunter called last week about an opportunity out of the blue. There’s an open position with a local manufacturing company that’s right up my alley! It’s an industry I’d never thought about, however this company is looking for someone with a fashion background who also has technical and factory experience. I’ve spoken twice now with the headhunter and he is really digging into my background. We had to cut it short after about a 45 minute conversation on Friday and he wants to talk more today. It’s very intense, and I think this guy talks too much, but who knows what could come of it?
  • Tomorrow I have a phone conversation/interview with HR at [high-end fashion company]. Now, this is a company I’m DYING to work for. It would completely change the face of my portfolio, and I really, really would like an opportunity here. Not only that, but their home offices are literally two blocks from my downtown apartment! Imagine, strolling two blocks to my office, stopping for a coffee along the way and strolling two blocks home in the evening! I LOVE that thought!! Plus, hello. High-end FASHION?! I want this.

    Went to the State Fair last night with SexyPants and had a wonderful time! It’s unseasonably warm (hot, really) these last few days so it was perfect weather. Ate some awesome fair food (corny dogs, cotton candy, beer – I know.), rode the giant ferris wheel, weaved through the crowds, saw some lights, people-watched and took it all in for a couple of hours, and then we were done.

    Had a good talk while we were there. SP and I were supposed to be on our honeymoon right now, so I haven’t taken any of my vacation time because I had been holding out for this particular time this year. Looks like we’ll plan a Hawaii trip since SP is going to be in Hawaii. I need to get looking at dates. In fact, I need to do that today.

    But we’ll see how it goes because I believe it’s all dependent on whether or not SOS is released from treatment. It’s always up in the air, and SP is notorious for changing our plans becuase of the ever-evolving situation. I’m not bitter, it’s just that I know this to be fact. Lot more of this to follow.

    Including Thanksgiving. I don’t know why I have been putting off planning for T-day. I think I may just pick up the ball and offer to take everyone to brunch/dinner: my parents, SP, SOS, the works. Becuse I don’t believe that SP wants to go to LA this time as “the celebration” will not be held at his mom and stepdad’s this year.

    And I have no idea about what’s going to happen for Christmas. Guess I should start planning now. I can’t believe it’s the end of the year.

    And yes, it’s Scorpio time! Birthday is on Friday, in case you’re wondering. I’m turning into a mature woman. Can you believe that? I can’t either. But damn. I’m a woman in her MID-FORTIES now, er, on Friday. You better watch out!

    Gotta roll.

    LOVE yous.

    *EDIT – Just to see if it will show up in Bookmarks. ???
