Opening

Okay so I just heard through the grapevine that there might be an opening for a full-time position at my job in October. I'm so excited!

I'm definitely going to apply. The position does a lot of statistical analysis, which I recently discovered is exactly what I want to do. I took statistics in college and found it relatively easy, while others had trouble.

I almost wish I didn't know about this opening because now I'm sitting on pins and needles waiting for it.

I probably shouldn't get my hopes up though, there isn't anything in stone yet.

But I can't help it. I'm so excited about the possibility!

Starting a Job Search

I made a decision to start looking for another job. I know it's going to be tough, but I feel like I should at least try.

I really don't think there are going to be any full-time positions opening up soon at my current place of employment. Although I'd like to stay put, I figured, why not look around while I wait for something to open up?

So far, I submitted a resume to an advertising and public relations company. I am very excited about and I hope that something comes from it.

It sounds like a very interesting company to work for and the job, a public relations account manager, sound very interesting, too. On top of that, the company's physical location is very close to my home and close to my son's school. Very convenient.

I'll keep you guys posted on what happens. It'll be a while since the job doesn't close for another three weeks, but I really hope I hear something before then.

A Beach Pic

I clearly remember taking this picture two and a half years ago in Miami Beach. It was a chilly late-October morning and the beach was almost completely bare.

I found that it is the most beautiful when it can be seen in its natural state, without people. I was with my husband, my mom, and my son, who was 1 at the time.

When I pulled this picture from the picture box to scan it, it reminded me of how much I miss the beach and miss Miami. It is truly a beautiful place. I remember going to the beach every weekend when I was growing up. My entire family would rent rooms in the same hotel and it was awesome. My cousins and I would spend the entire weekend on the beach or in the pool.

It's so sad that as time passes and one gets older, you forget how to enjoy simple things, like a trip to the beach or a picnic at a park.

We get so preoccupied with our jobs and other responsibilities that we truly forget to...just simply...enjoy life.
