Playing Catch Up....

trilliumgrlRealized I've been out of touch for a few days, so here is my ramble......
Worked all week for what turned out to be a pretty nice bunch of medical people (Chiropractor, PTs, massage therapists, and acupuncture). Their last receptionist was "a little unorganized" and "lacked initiative." Therefore, according to them I'm all good. I am thinking about applying for the permanent position, since the man in charge said that they would be willing to work around my training schedule for skating. Right now I'm working 10 to 6 and given that practices start at 5:30 on weekdays this would not work. Unless of course some genius has figured out that time machine, or how to be 2 places at once. As nice as a permanent job would be I'm not willing to give up the sanity that skating gives me for a job.
I was offered a position at Microsoft testing this week. The pay was good ($12/ hour) and it would have been a long-term assignment, but it sounded boring and was in Redmond. I said "thanks, but no thanks." Skating is a great excuse. I just don't mention that I suck. For some reason people seem to think that if you compete you must be good. No it just means that you can stand up on your skates. Anything beyond that is extra.
Moby is cool. I was listening to an interview with him during the Andy Savage show on Friday morning (I currently have a radio addiction) and he was just so neat. There was a great section where he was talking about how he didn't think he could live that rock-star life, with girls throwing themselves at him, etc. It all pretty much came down to self-loathing he said. Honesty is good. Besides, the man has incredible eyes. *sigh* I could soooo easily have a crush on the man.
Reading that last paragraph, I realize I must be getting a tad lonely/out of it/ something. Gods only know what. If I don't look too hard or too close I can stay sane in this narrow little world I live in right now. I gotta watch it though. We have no skating practice until September so I have nothing to do really. Oh well. Este es la vida.
Today I went to Dorian's first birthday party. He has gotten so big, as has his mom Adrienne, who is pregnant again. This time around she's having a girl. That is one woman who is taking her reproductive duties seriously. She's a great mom though and this is what she wants to do. Can't help but be happy for her, because she is happy. I can't help but be a little jealous as well. I don't want kids, but it just seems that so many friends are settling down, or have found someone to share themselves with. Knowing that I probably won't is kind of pressing on me right now.
Well enough of that *sits up straighter* I' off to outlet shop with mum in the morning. Hopefully I can find some cheap, comfy tops. I need work clothes for the summer.
