Soundtrack time! Today is "A Day To Remember" doing Better Off This Way:



I'm at work at the moment, on the verge of bursting into tears. This time though, it's not because someone was extremely rude to me on the phone. That has happened twice in the past, but today it's because of my own frustration with myself. I need to motivate myself to GET OFF MY BUTT and find another job. This stepping stone I've been sitting on for the past two and a half years is sinking into the ocean, and I need to move on. I feel like that Frogger video game I always played as a kid; I can't leave the middle island to reach the other side. The cars are moving too fast and there are no empty spots for me to sneak into. I skated through the first level easily, hopping from spot to spot like there were no obstacles. I think of that as my schooling. I loved school and it was simple for me. I had a goal, and I achieved it. I got good grades, I participated in events and sports, and I finished in 4 years. But now I'm stranded, and those years are slipping farther and farther away, along with my relevant experience.

So I have another plan, I'm gonna try and form a PR plan for work. We just started a commercial side of the business, so I want to try and expand our web presence on that. If it succeeds I will have relevant (and, more importantly, recent) PR experience to show potential employers.

Also, I just read a job ad for a position at Google that I would kill for, as soon as I go home I am going to rewrite my resume and cover letter and apply for it. I know I would hit it out of the park if given a chance. Even just an interview would be awesome.

Updates on my weekend:
Went to Great America with the girls, had a blast. I love rollercoasters. Afterward Missy and I rented 'Insidious' and were totally creeped out. That was a scary movie. red faced demons and ghosts popping out of corners.... crazy. We also rented 'The Eagle', and I remembered the huge crush I have on Jamie Bell (he's so adorable). Sunday Kourt and I rented even more movies and watched some "Rookie Blue." Mom and dad went up to Mt. Shasta to visit Aunt Gretchen so they were out of town, so we made enchiladas for dinner and watched True Blood. It was a good lazy day (although we had to get dressed and go to the store for ingredients).

...and then we're caught up to today!
