Call Me Maybe?

It is a gorgeous day.  Gorgeous days have such a significant impact on my productivity level.  I mean I really need to relocate to somewhere with a majority of nice weather, the difference on my life as a whole is phenomenal.  As I sit with my trusty laptop at Caribou Coffee, sipping on my iced green tea, and looking through countless websites looking for potential career openings, I've decided I would update my neglected blog and give myself a much needed brain break. 

I've been reminded lately of how draining the job search process is. It's definitely a roller coaster of emotions for each completed app.  And then there's the follow ups (which are becoming more and more difficult and awkward with online applications--I mean how do you just call up Disney and say "Hey Disney people, I applied for position X which I think is maybe out of your office or one near by... can you connect me to the one of your thousands of employees that will make this job happen for me?).  (And I know it just means more research on my end which is fine... I'm just venting).  AND THEN... there's the whole fine line between being the appropriate amount of  aggressive and just down right annoying. I need to work on that, I tend to worry too much about being annoying and I think I'm not aggressive enough. 

Basically what I want is the opportunity for a fresh start somewhere.  If that could be here, I would love that.  However, I've yet to find that here although I will keep looking... Some days I just want to get up and go.  I'm not sure where, just go. If I didn't have a set destination, I feel like I'd end up in Nashville, Texas or Southern California. Both fortunately and unfortunately, I'm a little too much of a planner to just take off spontaneously.  I need some sort of reason to make such a life change.  I want to take that adventure at some point... I just need to find the right motivation  and opportunity to do so--and enough time to get everything else in order first.  That day will come, just not for a while.  It is nice to fantasize about however. 

Until then, I will keep on keepin on.  If any one happens to come across this blog who is looking for an AWESOME employee with a love of people, music, slight sarcasm and glitter, give me a call.  I know I haven't even met you, and this maybe crazy, but I can be your next (insert awesome job title here). So....
