I'm feeling particularly discouraged and displeased with much of the world today. This, despite a fabulous and really upbeat interview on Tuesday, and a reasonable enough interview this morning (though I'm not jazzed about today's and I'd really like to work for the company I spoke with on Tuesday). I think it's because I haven't heard from the Tuesday company and I'd indicated that were I to have a follow-up interview, tomorrow would be the best day. I've heard absolutely nothing, which I find disheartening. This also despite the fact that my other enterprise is going pretty well, though I am learning about how to do the order of things with the yarn, and I'll end up frustrated having done what I did today. I suppose it didn't help that I heard from one of the placement companies where I have my resume and, once again, it was for sales rather than customer service. I'd applied for a screening position, which is how the position would start, but this particular company intends for any incoming hire to get her/his life and health license within three months- and they'll reimburse some of that cost. So, in other words, they want you to be trained in not long to become a qualified life and health insurance salesperson. When asked if I was still interested, I said no, but to please keep me in mind for other things. Being in this state of mind is often a dangerous place for me, but thankfully I haven't been thinking very often about making a poor choice for myself. Instead I 'treated' myself to some Fritos and cheese. Instead of my usual comfort-food bowlful, plus heaps of sour cream, I had exactly 1½ servings and not nearly as much cheese as I usually do. And I have no sour cream, so that was easy. [livejournal.com profile] evannichols also isn't having a particularly wonderful day, so I'm not about to call and complain to him. Or I wasn't while he was at work. We'll talk tonight. It's for the best that I just sit with myself and get used to experiencing uncomfortable feelings; that's going to be a part of the rest of my life if I continue down a path without my former 'mood stabilizer.' For now, I get to have a low-grade whine here on DW/LJ. At least there's strawberries. And Diet Coke.

My dreamlife has been unusually vivid the past couple of weeks. Two nights ago, for example, I woke up and remembered all kinds of elements to my dream, as I usually do, then went back to sleep and returned to the dream. While in the dream I thought, "Wow— this is really, really long with all kinds of details that I'll remember later." I'm sometimes aware I'm in my dreams, but not all that often. That one I did, though. Last night's involved losing my shoes on some babied-down version water ride and finding a new pair (purple! with yellow stripes!) before being sent to hell to do some kind of work. I kid you not. o_O

Am in a definite state of dispassion and listlessness: my old buddies. Either that or I'm simply easing into the fact that I'm going to be here in the 'burg for a while and that means relatively little social outlets, not a lot of scintillating conversations, and putting the best spin I can on my situation. Which I should do anyway, and it's certainly not all bad. For instance, we do apparently have roller derby. By all that's holy, I'm going to buy a ticket and go watch roller derby for real this Sunday. Should be fun, or at least something new and different I've never done before!

It's been a while, so here goes:

Your rainbow is shaded indigo.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

What is says about you: You are a proud person. You appreciate cities, technology, and other great things people have created. Friends count on you for being honest and insightful.

Not much else to report. Blocked [livejournal.com profile] persephone100's sweater, which is ever closer to being completed. The yarn for my next knitting project has been shipped. Yay! My muse is taking a break, somewhere… My parents are going out of town for a few days and I'm looking forward to the alone time. The JMU library has become my new video store— I'll be getting a bunch of things to watch while knitting and keeping the dog and cat entertained. I'm just not feeling that positive about a lot of stuff and am rather content to be a hermit for a few days, though being productive, too. I think that having a couple of projects stagnate and some lack of communication issues are getting to me a little bit. That said, I really should review some details in the first Wraeththu trilogy so I can get started on that new fic…
