Soups on!

Composting as I type. The browns and the greens are decaying in harmony to create an organic and rich soil that will feed plants. What plants? I don't know. I've got until the spring to figure that out.

I've finally come to the conclusion that I need to change my path. My career path. It's funny that people always find it odd that I'm still working at the same job I've had for 12 years. It's expanded tremendously in those 12 years but not enough. I enjoy my work but do not reap any of the benefits I deserve. An opportunity has surfaced in another department but at the Erwin Center. I've decided to take the leap. Where to you ask? Marketing. I'm applying for an assistant marketing manager position. I'm hoping that my knowledge of the business, venue and target audience will supersede my lack of direct marketing experience. It doesn't hurt to try. If I'm in over my head then I have to respect the decisions made by that department not to take a chance on me. I hope they don't because now I'm itching for a challenge and a way out. This isn't exactly the time to be actively seeking employment.

Speaking of employment. My sister is going to lose her job. What the? I know quite a few people who are in the same boat too. This is getting scary. What the hell are people going to do?

I just made really yummy veggie soup. Chunky spicy soup. Now I'm sleepy and warm but still need to work on my resume. Le eek! Resume writing is intense. It gives me a stomachache.

Good luck on the leap! I kind of thought you were going to say that you were headed to culinary school. Just a thought...

OMG! I'd go to culinary school if I won the lottery but that's the only way I could afford it. I doubt I'd be able to get a decent paying job in Austin after school to pay back that loan. It's SO expensive.
