i'm not superstitious, i promise...

so today is a big day. today is the day i find out if i have a job after the end of the month. today is the day the new company passes out the offer letters. i really not scred about not getting a letter, its more about what is in that letter that scares me... what they are going to offer me as far as pay and benefits. it all depends on how they "classify" me as an employee.

but that is not until this evening. before that, i have an interview with JDR Marketing. they are looking for entry level people who just recently graduated to (according to the add) do anything from advertising, sales, to PR. of course, i'm more interested in the PR part of it, but we'll find out today what they are really looking for.

so with all this going on today, first thing this morning as i stepped out of my apartment... a black cat ran across my path! so what did i do? well, naturally, i dropped everything i was carrying and ran after the blasted cat to see if he was completely black... hose and heels and all. i finally caught that d*** cat two buildings away and found a white spot on his tummy. so i'm all in the clear! phew!! then i had to go gather all my stuff i dropped and inspect myself for runners... none, so good to go. apparently, fate was just seeing if i was awake this morning.

hello world, i'm single!!

i've always hated v-day. even when i was with someone, i still thought it was a stupid non-holiday. but i hate it even more when i'm single, which is to be expected... me and the rest of the single-world.

now, i've never been as cynical about v-day before as i am this year. maybe its because i'm older. maybe its because my ex, who i had been seeing, suddenly has a new girlfriend and has turned into a major a-hole. nah, its got to be the older thing. no, seriously... in high school and college there were at least tons of other single people to go out with or at least make fun of the couples with. but now that i'm in my 20's, like melanie wrote about in her blog recently, its like people expect you to be married or at least in a serious relationship.

hello world, i'm single and its ok!! i'm not a freak, i'm not undesirable, and i'm not going to shrivle up and die alone just because i'm spending valentines day 2005 on my couch eating bonbons!!! geez!

hmm, now that i'm through venting... i wonder if that rant was directed to the world or was i just trying to reassure myself? hmm... food for thought. mmm... food. :)

hey cari! sorry i didn't see you yesterday in the car!

i am notorious for not noticing people when i'm driving when they wave at me. i don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing... i guess its good that i am paying attention to the road, but bad that i don't pay attention to my surroundings? eh, who knows. i am who i am.
