Where things stand

[lizziegrace]

aka, my life as a moving target. :)

I have a temp assignment interview with the client. It's pretty much a given I've got the gig, the start date is unknown.

I had meeting with the other full-time employee at the CPA's office. We got along great and our skills compliment each others. No dicussion of salary or benefits yet, but the CPA knows what I'm asking.

A headhunter presented my resume to a commercial development firm. So far, haven't heard anything but the salary is 20% higher than the CPA and I know they have benefits. I need to put the screws to this guy to get an answer on the company's interest in me.

I got a call from another temp agency wanting to know my availability.

I got a call from another placement agency to emphasize certain skills in my resume so it can be presented to a country club/gold course/fitness facility about 4 miles from my house. Resume has been modified and sent.

So, when it rains... Now it's a waiting game again, but these opportunities have all surfaced in the last 2 days.

I'm still waiting, myself. As of yesterday, they were calling references and I would be hearing from them "shortly." :)

7. Well, aren't we just the most enticing employment prospect! :) n/t

[lizziegrace]

10. About time

:(

It's been a very, very long year.

[qnr]

12. Yeah, I feel for you. :( I've been through that in the past n/t

[lizziegrace]

13. How do you recover

your confidence and self-esteem? This has really taken a toll on me.

[qnr]

16. Hmmm, well, I had other things going on that I actively contributed to,

so I guess that helped. Technically, I've never really had a lot of confidence or self-esteem anyway though.

8. I knew you would find something soon!

I'm so happy to hear you have so many leads!! :hi:

[lizziegrace]

11. Leads are great

but I'm impatient. I want to know where I go for good NOW (insert tantrum smilie here?)

I know it will happen eventually. I'm sooooo close. :)

[RetroLounge]

14. About time you get off the public dole...

:D j/k

Seriously, sounds like great opportunities for you! :hug:

I knew you would do it, but choices can be hard when they all come at once.

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

15. Heh

Actually, I managed without getting any public assistance, although looking back, I probably should have. Pride makes you do strange things. :(

You're right, when everything slams you at once, it's like being in the eye of a hurricane. Right? Wrong? Should I? BTDT.

[RetroLounge]

38. You're going to land on your feet

and in no time be better off than ever before.

You have the talent, the drive, and the support of all of us.

:hug:

[speedoo]

17. Well, all this sounds very promising!

And I'm certainly glad to hear it. I know it's been a struggle, but things are clearly looking better for you.:hi: :hug:

[lizziegrace]

20. Thank you for always being there with your support

it means more than you'll ever know.

:hug:

18. Here's a great affirmation for you: I have it taped to my computer

Everyday I remember more of who I really am.
Opportunities present themselves to me just because.
I walk around in the Universe aware that the Good that I seek is seeking me.
I free my possibility from expectations.
I am willing to entertain talents I never considered.
I strengthen skills that I never knew I had.
I love more than I ever imagined possible.
I understand more than I comprehend.
The future is clear even when I don't see the way.
My faith is unshakeable and my trust ever apparent.
"Yes" is a rhythmic mantra of my soul.

:hug: :loveya: :hug:

edit: spelling

19. Thank you Shine

I was in Columbus last Saturday and Sunday.

Last weekend was tax return hell. My biggest client finally got me all the information to finally file her 2005 tax return. It was due the 16th.

29. We had a little funeral this afternoon...

My stepson came over and dug a grave for him, and we buried Waffles when my son got home from work. We put a few chrysanthemums on it, and found a pretty rock to mark the grave.

We're sad, but we're ok...
Thanks for asking. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

30. You'll feel his presence for a long, long time

He was loved and that's the greatest gift he could receive.

:hug: to you and your family.
