Just a little catch up

I know how annoying it is to check back again and again to a blog and find that the person isn't updating, so I'll give a quick rundown of what's been going on...

I'm working with a recruiter who is trying to find the right place for me... hahaha aren't they all.

Had a phone meeting with a company in CT for a position with the NYC design studio.

Met up with an old college friend who owns a printing company in Union Square. He's become quite the macher -- I was blown away at how successful and seemingly perfect his life seems to be, and had to squash that little voice inside my head that said, "You have done every single thing in your life WRONG."

Trying to match my inside to someone else's outside will only lead to suffering, right?

Went to da Burgh to visit my parents last weekend, and it was quite nice, actually. The Crazy burner was turned way down to low, and Mom was 100% there for the entire weekend so I had a really nice time. And it reminded me that as adults living in Therapy Nation that we almost feel OBLIGATED to turn our parents (or our memories of our parents) into monsters. You know what? My parents weren't monsters. They were deeply flawed human beings doing the best they could with what they had, which honestly wasn't much. And they were both absolutely delighted that I went to visit them last weekend.

So there you have it.

The job search continues...

I hate to admit it, but dealing with two teenaged daughters makes me think of mom in more kindly terms. It's fucking hard. And this is with "good" kids.

Good luck with the job search!

Yeah. Don't forget it either. I mean, you don't have anything else to do but blog, right??
