happy new year to all.
i wish i could say i've been too busy to post. but doing so would constitute lying. i have had plenty of time actually, what with the weeklong break from work and the expired gym membership.. time is freeing up from all sides! so i don't quite know why the lag time has been inordinately long. yeah. so here's what's been going on.
i have an ongoing list of resolutions that i've been slowly building since before the new year even hit. the primary item on my list is to get that job thing nailed down. i'd really like that to happen. i recently interviewed at a small design agency the other day. i've gotten in touch with about eight or nine companies in the past month and have gotten only a handful of replies back. so the prospect of an actual interview with one proved to surpass some limits of personal expectation. at any rate the interview went well. at the end, the creative director who lead the interview (there were three others present, not including him) indicated that things looked "promising". great!.. or not? this very morning i was making the usual rounds to one of my usual resources for job-hunting and i see a post, by the company in question. advertising the position i just interviewed for. excellent. now i have to compete. wonderful. the circumstances under which i had initially contacted them were a bit favorable for me, given that i in essence "cold" called them and inquired about employment opportunities. we scheduled the interview. that was that. now i feel as if my stake has been undermined. it's not the "competition" that bugs me. it's that perceived breach of trust. c'mon guys. i thought we had an understanding. me and you! you and me! US! everything was fine until you invited all these other people. why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? you're acting like some-body-else-makes-me-frustrateddd..
anyway this is their website. they're a nice group. really friendly. i do hope this works out. break-ups can be messy. maybe i should follow britney's advice. she seems like she has a good head for these things. um.in other news dc restaurant week is coming up. i've made four reservations total. i am expecting nothing less than immaculate waitstaff and multiple bliss-inducing taste-gasms (or the regular kind). two lunch reserves and two evenings. i've been slacking on previous year offerings for RW, so i'm eager to make an honest go of it this time around. the bargain tradeoff is pretty fabulous. Corduroy, Ristorante Tosca, Palette, Ceiba. those are my four. they're gonna be great. i said it. there. i'm putting it out there for the universe to hear. i'm taking britney's advice.
