I just realized that I think I could probably be happy in just about any job that would allow me to play my kind of music while working. Music soothes this savage kitty and then some.

I for some reason cannot escape from the black hole that is the YMCA. My old boss (from the first time I worked here) told me about a full-time opening in downtown Fort Worth back at the YMCA Metro Offices, which I've already worked at once before. She's going to see how much negotiating she could do for me on the pay rate. I already know that I'd be at the very top of the list for that position. It's one of those things that if I say I want it, it's probably mine. It would not have all of the same stresses that I feel here at the branch, but I really, really do want to leave this $%^#@$& company, and I know the job would be just as boring as this one is. I just know that I'm safe here at the Y from the whole job hunting/loosing job/job hunting cycles that I see so many people going through.

1) I have an interview for a job as an administrative assistant in Grapevine scheduled for Thursday morning.
2) I have already completed an interview for a part-time position as a teller at a bank which is about 4 blocks from my apartment. Great, if I were going to be living in my apartment past March. But I think at this point I want full-time, good pay work. I really want to make a dent in my school loans and I really miss my health insurance.
3) I did a telephone interview for a company that's on the 14th (or was it 17th) floor of a building in DT FW, again for an Admin job. If I pass this first go round then I should be asked for an email interview some time this week.

I just want something else. The job offers are great, but something is missing from each of them. I'm not looking forward to any of them.


Good news on the home front. The landlady said that as a late X-mas gift she's not charging for a month. That gives me until at least the end of March, but I might still leave at the end of February and just get back the money that I've already paid for the extra month. I'm surprised that she would still tell me about this even after I've already told her that I would probably be out by the end of the month. I'm going to seriously miss this chatty woman.

Nice landlady! You definitely should wait to find out about the other possibilities prior to making any further committments to the Y. You keep telling me about all these changes you want in your life, and I really don't see much changing as long as you are tethered to the Y. A crucial part of being able to make change is learning to take a chance and not cling so tightly to what is safe/secure and be willing to try something new, you know? And you're a smart cookie, if you take a risk and it doesn't pan out as you hoped it would, you WILL bounce back!
