Friiiiday!

[shoofly]

Finally, Friday is here!

What's going on?? I am slightly freaking out because I did reach out the doctor one of my colleagues told me about that is hiring for my exact position in Florida. I currently live in Nebraska. It's somewhat crazy how this has all played out and I can't believe it. While I was in Florida on vacation, I joked with some people that I may have to look for a job there...and it's fallen in my lap. I'm not super invested yet, but very interested. The doctor and I have been emailing each other and he said my experience and personality sound like a great fit for their clinic. He is hesitant because he wants to fill the position ASAP and was hoping to find someone local. I told him I understand the need to fill a position quickly, but moving out of state would not be a problem and my only requirement would be to give my current employer at least 2 weeks notice and then to find housing in the area. HOLY CRAP!! I have never lived anywhere but here, in Nebraska, with my family. They are the only thing keeping me here - no relationship right now, no children, no home to sell. It's all nice to think about. But again, I'm not going to get too invested because if he has someone there who applies, he may just hire them for the sake of saving time....

That's exciting shoofly, even just the possibility of relocating is exciting and something to look forward to if you'd like to explore that avenue.

I'm trying to decide if I should wear a midi-dress or a shorter/knee length dress to dinner tonight. I'll have to try on a few different ones. We're not going to a super formal place, but it's hot as hades today so I believe a dress is certainly in order.

FI just got sent home at noon. He works on Treasure Island (between SF and Oakland) and there is a BLM protest scheduled tonight; they're already shutting down the Bay Bridge, so his boss told him to GTFO before he gets stuck for the night.

I'm kinda jealous.

Thanks, doglove. I've never had this possibility before, unless I wanted to just up and move somewhere without a job and start completely brand new. I'm still waiting for a response from the last email I sent. I'm not sure what he'll say! The title of my position is psychometrist (I had to google it when I applied). It's somewhat specialized in that you really are only trained on the job...though some people get some training in college now depending on their field of study. We'll see!

Best of luck with your date tonight!! I really hope it goes well as I know you've been impatiently waiting You may need to try on a few dresses. I love how midi-length dresses look, but if it's especially warm/humid, a shorter, more breathable dress might be better.

So I thought about it and I sent my friend money for half the hotel along with my half for show tickets. I got my friend to watch my dogs for a $50 sbux gift card.

Shorter dress alllll the way!

I have been jacking off all day at work. I'm not in the mood for today.

Exciting shoofly!

I hope it goes well doglove!

Today has flown by. I need to make a list so I can run to the grocery store, but ugh, I don't want to! Can't the food just appear in my pantry/fridge?

I also really need to clean my apartment before my family comes to town. Again, I don't want to. I just want to be lazy!

I'm heading to Seattle for a friend's baby shower and listening to Mindy Kahlings book on audible. It's super nice. I'm excited to spend some time with my friend! She has two kids now so I that should be interesting. I'm not really used to being around small children for extended periods of time. I'm super awkward around them.

Today has been pretty laid back. Went to the grocery store and snagged a 4lb beef roast for $12 so sunday night dinner is set. They also had Fandango gift cards on sale so I see some movies in my future.

Had some guy lecture me on POF because I sent him a message that was longer than 1 sentence. I was chastised for wasting time because 'it is pointless to write more than one sentence to someone if they think you are unattractive'. Um...WTF?!?! Apparently I am supposed to be psychic and know in advance that the person I am messaging thinks that I am 'unattractive'.

Tomorrow is spa day and it cant come soon enough. Heading up to Glen Ivy for the day and I've got a hot stone massage, body scrub and a grotto experience lined up. I also plan on slathering mud all over myself and vegging out in the sun. There is a large group of us going for a birthday celebration- I turned 40 in March, mom turns 60 on Tuesday and one of our friends turned 50 in Feb so we are lumping all the big days into one. There will also be cupcakes involved and that is always a good thing!

Im babysitting my nephew tonight so my brother (who is living with me for the summer) and his wife can go out while she and baby are visiting. It's been few years since mine was this little and he was never very needy. And I'm on call so no wine after bedtime either :-(

shoofly, It's an exciting opportunity. Do you like the area in Florida?  If it is and the job is a good fit, then I say to go for it!!!

I recently relocated from NYC (where I lived my entire life) to NC.  I knew I wanted to move due to cost of living, but I was extremely nervous about it.  Well, it's been 3 months and let me tell you...I am so happy I made the change.  If you told me this 5 years ago, I'd have said that you were out of your mind!

I was off today! I slept late, went for a mani/pedi, we went to a local food truck event and now we're just hanging around.

I'm so tired lately.  I've been working four days a week (ten hour shifts) since the beginning of July.  This is my new official schedule.  The day off rotates, but sometimes ends up being a long weekend so that means 4 days straight.  I think I'm not used to it yet.  I appreciate the day off, it's awesome!  It's just that after 10 years of getting out of work at 4, it's an adjustment.  

I'm getting home later, eating dinner later and therefore going to bed later, but waking up slightly earlier.  I think it's going to take me a bit to adjust.  I like the job and the schedule seems really ideal, but my body is not being cooperative.  I fell asleep the past 2 nights on the couch after dinner around 9pm.  

So anyway, I was off today and I'm off Monday as well so I'm going to try to catch up on sleep.  I'm also contemplating getting a massage....need to find a place.

I am really nervous for tomorrow. I am throwing a birthday party for ds1. XSIL is estranged from EXH and has expressed wanting to be involved in my kids lives. I also recently got remarried. So I invited my ex in-laws and my dh's family. This is also the first time my family has met dh's family. We eloped and didn't have a big wedding.
