Census

so i'm working for the census for a bit. i am working for the CCM branch, which apparently is like working for the CIA bc i'm told we have nothing to do with the census bureau yet if i have to make a visit i have to say - i am xyz with the US census bureau. go figure. its been a back and forth situation since we went through training. i'm now waiting for a meeting spot bc we have to do one packet before i go away. which is cool bc they are trying to give me work but its also terribly inconvenient. oh well. c'est la vie.

i'll let you know how the first gig goes...

Snow Day!

Today the weather people expect 12-18 inches to fall, mostly between 9am -9pm. One friend said i hope you are going to take pix which, of course, triggered me to do so even more. today a friend asked where i was, that it was so beautiful, that she asked if i was taking photos. i guess i've made it a big deal lately. its what i love. and maybe people love it. they are encouraging me and i love that.

above is my favorite today thus far. i should take the same photo throughout the day, progression...that would be neat as a series...ahh the thoughts go again. :)

Random Thoughts

they happen everyday. all day. what i need to do with my day. whether i should wake up now or later. should i make coffee at home or go get it. take a walk. is there a need to go outside today?

this is only the first few waking moments in my day, another day that i am unemployed.

day 74.

some people are laid off for months, years even. I'm sure everyone has a different view on it. a lucky vacation from a job they never stopped working. a terrible halt, but enough savings to get by for a long time. i'm somewhere in the middle, except that whole cliche of "you don't know what you've got til its gone". well i'm good when im working. i need structure. i need people around me, even if i think i don't when they are. the number one reason i got through the past year was because i was surrounded by people, friends, who cared about me everyday, even though we were working together.

the rest of today was a big old racing path of thoughts. i was going to go into the city and then i decided to stay in and work on those random hobbies, scrap-booking, crocheting, moving photos.

now I've got photos in areas and can't move to print on my own. oops. and scrap-booking i only reorganized bc i needed the photos. ha.

so i might even be so bold, while dinner is cooking (yes its late, ugh), to finish the plain old scarf i was working on.

i have a date with Jonathan tomorrow for job searching. we like to lay out plans for the future & how we'll get jobs or make money. I've been trying to think of different avenues. once i get a job if its too low i have some side things i can do.

its supposed to snow tonight starting at midnight, a foot to a foot & a half...we shall see.

see? random.
