If my life were a novel, this chapter would be called "Can you sit up or go do something, you're taking up the whole bed".
Adam said these sweet words to me today as I was sprawled out on our bed, perusing the latest facebook updates. Seriously though, he wasn't trying to be rude, I just had been there a while, and he was trying to get some room to sit down so he could study. It didn't offend me, the words themselves just made me laugh.
Similarly, couple of weeks ago Kirstin walked into our room to bring me Sonic (she's the best) and I just started laughing...I was sitting there, under the covers, with my computer in my lap, still in my pjs (at 2pm), sipping some diet coke, half looking for jobs, half scrolling through pinterest, fulfilling the stereotype of the unemployed life.
Seriously though, I would say I have been a pretty focused job searcher since August. When I have spent a sufficient amount of time on facebook and pinterest during a typical work day, I do feel guilty about it, ha.
But guess what...as of tonight you're reading the closing paragraphs of "Can you sit up or go do something, you're taking up the whole bed" and turning the page to start "Hello, Colorado Business Casual, my part-timing self is happy to see you again" my book would have really long chapter titles.
I took a part-time job as a Real Estate Executive Assistant, and Wednesday is my first day! The weight that's been lifted off my shoulders was more than I anticipated I'd feel, which is why that last sentence is warrenting an exclamation point. No part time wasn't my goal, and actually, neither was real estate, but when you've been on the job-seeker rollercoaster for a while, it's surprising how much faster you are willing to get off. Woo!
