YAY! And Not-Quite-Yay.

I actually got a working moodtheme up! Yay! (So glad someone gave me a tip to help me in the right direction.)

My cousin's baby came last week (or was it the week before?), and today we got to see Junior for the first time.


So trippy seeing my cousin as a daddy, holding his baby boy. This ain't real. Also, I got to see my other cousin for the first time in two or more years, since he'd been serving in the Navy off the coast of Japan, among other places. Trippiest of all, we used to play together all the time when we were little, and now we don't even know each other anymore.

Been feeling really restless lately. Working two part-time, low-paying jobs (aka adhering to a confining schedule) has irked me, even though I adapted better than I thought I would. Now that it's been that way for almost two years, I'm thinking I should get some 9-5 desk job. Work at a bank, since I've got cashiering experience, or maybe become a secretary. (I suspect secretary work would suit me well, provided I don't get stuck with a boss that thinks pretty secretaries exist so you can carry on affairs with them.)

I know of a girl that, at one point, was geared to be a nanny for a newborn and travel to London with the ridiculously wealthy family. I don't know if it worked out; I hope it did. Being paid really good money to look after a kid too small to run while traveling abroad with a family sounds AWESOME to me. Except that, again, there's that risk of a boss deciding a liaison with the nanny is a cool idea. No Jane Eyre or Frauline Maria stunts for me, thankyouverymuch.(I hate being pretty and having to think about these things. Call me a ungrateful brat if you wish; it's how I feel. My looks are mostly a nuisance.)

I'll just keep an eye out and keep working the jobs I've got. (I'm really lucky with both of them; they were 2 of the first 5 places I applied for.) Bottom line is, I'm not moving to another job, no matter how much it pays, until I can be certain the pay is actually worth the trouble. Last thing I want to do is leave all the nice people I work with now and get stuck with a pack of demons.

Thanks for the hat tip! I only hope I can continue to afford to be choosy. My dad's job situation has been precarious for months; that, more than anything, is motivating me to earn a higher salary.

LOL, I think my brother's probably going to have kids before me as well. He's as mushy as my dad. (My dad's a hopeless romantic, and my mom is not. That tells you a lot about our family right there. :D)
