It bides away the time while I sort out the "real" jobs from the "crap" jobs that are sent to me via job service, monster and career builder. <br /> By the way, if you don't have a real job yet, apparently Avon is recruiting. They sent me 6 announcements in one day. I'm sure selling nail polish and lipstick would be fun (just not for me). I prefer to drink beer and wish I could smoke cigarettes even though I quit a long time ago. Good luck to you and thanks for making me smile. I hope you win the internet. I want to win my own tv show making fun of others but I hate people so probably won't happen now.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209927204633507748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643741973264866223.post-42582063512852171522010-04-11T05:46:07.783-06:002010-04-11T05:46:07.783-06:00I like it! its all fate..I like it! its all fate..atikahttp://www.atikaly.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643741973264866223.post-87563113534967888202010-04-10T05:53:10.947-06:002010-04-10T05:53:10.947-06:00This is creepily similar to how I (almost) quit sm...This is creepily similar to how I (almost) quit smoking recently.

That one made me come back. But the thing that makes me grab a cup of coffee and prepare to giggle when I see your name in my Google Reader? The fish story. Even my 4-year-old and 6-year-old keep asking if we can look at the story with the funny pictures about the fish again.<br /><br />I hope that's not too much pressure to be funny every moment of the day. I don't expect everying out of your mouth (or keyboard) be comedy gold.

I came to your blog through that godde...Hi Allie, <br /><br />I came to your blog through that goddess of blogging, the bloggess (sounds like the beginning of a nursery rhyme!).<br /><br />A couple of things popped into my head as I was walking my elderly dog. I remember reading about a top tennis player suddenly becoming awkward on the court. Her strokes were wooden. It was if she’d forgotten her technique. Apparently she’d fallen victim to suddenly become conscious of the mechanics of her swing. And once that happened—becoming self-conscious—she lost the ability to play. I think this was short lived and she soon regained her instinct and confidence.<br /><br />The other thing was a time I became the new member of a team working under deadline on a two-day project, a yearly update of information from every state. Everyone else but me had worked on at least one prior update; some had worked on a number of them over the years. It turned out I was slower than anyone else in organizing and synthesizing the information and writing the synopses. Plus I’m not a speedy writer to begin with. <br /><br />The night of day one I was kind of a wreck and worried about getting all the work done by the end of the next day. So I went into meditation mode and visualized successfully finishing the work. I also said affirmations about having spent a nonstressful day working on the project. The next day was a challenge and I can’t say it was easy, but I didn’t panic about not being able to do the job. I was actually calm and able to think straight in spite of being exhausted. It was as if the meditation, visualization, and affirmations were protecting me, providing a kind of support, giving me confidence. Actually meditation alone is great for freeing the mind.<br /><br />Best of luck.Ginnyhttp://stillironic.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643741973264866223.post-54223666436018180662010-04-05T14:04:17.189-06:002010-04-05T14:04:17.189-06:00Girl, saving people's lives is so fucking over...Girl, saving people's lives is so fucking overrated!

Like if I get an easy parking space I'm convinced a tree will fall on my foot and they'll have to chop it off, but they're doctors so they'll do it wrong and end up amputating both feet and then I'll have to slide around using ski poles and tea saucers as feet. See, aren't you glad you aren't a doctor -- save lives....right, after they fuck shit up!<br />You are better than a doc, you just made me feel good about myself.
