august redux

i think maybe i am not using 'redux' in its appropriate way but i like the way it sounds.

this month is almost eight days in and it has been a bucket of craziness. we pretty much got the apartment completely unpacked and settled-in-feeling by the month's beginning. on the 3rd i realized my birthday was but a month away. on the 4th i started work. on the night of the 5th i resigned. yesterday and today have brought time for reflection and tomorrow will bring two more job interviews.

i am feeling mixed about all of this. i have never left a job with such a short committment and notice. i am a bit ashamed about it but also proud of myself. the job that i was hired for was not what i walked into. i have a history of just taking what has been given to me and i have reached a definite limit on that kind of crap. so, i quit. as i mentioned, though, i have two other opportunities and i'm confident they'll both or one of them will pan out. it's all been an exercise in trusting my instincts. i'm not, for once, going to make a big "LESSON LEARNED" type of deal about it but i do appreciate the chance to be true to me.

in other news, i got some movie watching in. it's kind of pointless to review 'Incredible Hulk' and 'Iron Man'. they're comics-cum-movies. i am not a comic book reader but they were great fun. i didn't realize the connection between the two but that made it even more enjoyable.

there has been some sadness catching up to me about moving again but i am just letting the reality of what is my life now to just settle in.

well, it's almost eleven pm. time to pick up my husband because...i'm not working and we have one car. life.
