Speaking of job prospects, I have an interview! And they are actually going to fly me out of Puerto Rico to meet them (and to grill me). I'm going to be traveling alot in the next month. My own employers are flying me to Miami (possibly also to grill me) and then the job interview takes place in Virginia a few weeks later. And the frequent flyer miles will be rollin' in. Don't scoff. I've flown free several times on frequent flyer miles. Once even to Europe. The key is to join all of the non-airline sponsors, too. Like hotels, restaurants, credit cards, etc. The hardest thing lately is to decide whether to take that brand-alligence to Upromise and start saving for my nephews' and niece's college education. Maybe my own child's one day. My brother seems to think that Upromise is a scam, but I have faith. The more people that hear about it and sign up, the better chance that it won't fail like other dotcoms. But, I do admit, every so often my faith is misplaced. I still miss Pets.com.

Why does it cost almost $4000 to ship items that aren't even worth $2000. The fact that the Atlantic Ocean is in between Puerto Rico and the United States may have something to do with it. Now I know why every week or so there is a list of items for sale in our apartment complex or at work. No one can afford to take their household goods with them when they move to the states. It's not like we have a lot of stuff to move. Unless my new job prospects help to move our goods, we may have to leave everything behind. I just hope we can afford to move our car. Car, cats, clothes and books. That is all we really need in life, right? Well, ok, I can't leave the CDs or DVDs. Or the computer. Jay has put too much time upgrading that darn thing to leave it behind.

Had to convince my husband that he should have his own Blogspot today. He needs an outlet just like this so he can pretty much say whatever he wants. He actually got reprimanded for speaking out against a fellow distance learning student who was being a jerk and bigot on their student bulletin board. I totally agree with my husband that he should have the right to debate with this other person, but he may have gone a bit over the mark by calling this person "stupid" on the board. He was reprimanded by the professor and had to apologize to everyone in the class. Hopefully this won't affect his grade, but knowing my husband, he will pout about this and fret about getting a B instead of an A in that class. When my husband (I'll call him Jay from now on, its easier to write) finally gets his Blogspot up and running, I'll tell you where to find it. It'll probably be alot more interesting to read than this ol' thing.

Oh, by the way, go to BookCrossing.com one of these days. If you are a reader of books, from classics to trashy novels or anything in between, you may enjoy this website.

Well, it seems that my career prospects aren't so horrible as I once thought. I am in contact with someone from a certain Fortune 500 company (and one of the 100 best companies to work for) that seems to think I would make a good employee. Only problem is they don't have any jobs in the region of the country that I would like to relocate to. San Francisco is available, but that is to far away. I'm an East Coast girl. But I'd move back to Dallas, too. Anyway, this good news comes my way that I may not have to stay in the crappy job I have now but what happens next? I hear that my sister lost her job. It's not a total surprise, but she had hopes that she would be spared the lay-offs that were coming and going.

Should I post if absolutely nothing happens? What I do mostly on a day to day basis is plan for things waaaay in advance. Like our trip to Disney World in November. Or our move from Puerto Rico next May (more on that later). I'm excited about the trip in November. My husband and I would live at Disney World if they would let us. We would build a little house next to Epcot and buy annual passes. Celebration, Florida is the next best thing but it's just not do-able at the moment. Maybe when we retire in 30-something years. Anyway, back to our November trip. Since we are semi-military in Puerto Rico (long story) we can get the special military discount at the Shades of Green resort. However, since it is under construction we got the special rate at the Contemporary resort: $99 bucks a night! If you know anything about the Contemporary, $99 bucks is the deal of a lifetime. Only one thing could f@*$ this up now and that is my boss. He could totally deny me leave, which he has done before. Its not like I am imperative to the job that I can't have a week off. I'm not a doctor or any type of profession that needs 24 hour a day attention. I'm a 9 to 5, M-F kinda gal. The main thing is my boss is a grouch and you can not argue about something as trivial as leave with him without feeling 3 inches tall. I haven't officially asked for the leave yet, so really I can't make assumptions about his state of mind when I do. I'll keep you posted.

It seems that I am only posting every other day. Don't know why. I guess I am tired of trying to pry my husband away from the computer every night. But at least he has a good excuse. Online college courses. I don't want him to fail to get his degree and blame it on me.

I would have posted yesterday if I had realized that I needed to go to Blogger.com instead of Blogspot.com to login. I spent LOTS of time waiting for Blogspot.com to appear on my monitor. It never did, hence, no post. I don't think I would have had much to say yesterday anyway. Nothing too terribly important happened. Today? Nothing. I wake up, go to work, work, come home, eat and go to sleep. Occasionally, I'll talk to my husband.

Ok. I needed a hobby. One that doesn't cost anything. So I am starting a Blog. I don't know exactly what a Blog is. I know a person with a Blogspot and decided that copying her would be cool. So I don't care if there are any typos or URL links that don't work exactly right. This is a hobby site from someone who needs some therapy. Hence the name. Sooner or later you will find out why I need therapy (don't we all??). But for now, let's just take this one day at a time and hope that Blogspot.com has a good 'Help' page.
