hm... not too much going on these days. the end of last week was filled with work & lots of phone interview conversations where i asked lots & lots of questions. it probably annoyed the interviewer but it was very helpful. i was able to talk to the woman who recently left the job & ask her questions about the job & her experiences. at the end of the week, i felt pretty good about the whole thing. seems like a good challenge & i think i'm up for it. hope so cuz i accepted the job friday evening. funny how things work sometimes. had no idea a few weeks ago that i might have a different job. turns out there is a light at the end of the tunnel. i talked with my current boss about the situation a bit ahead of time so he knew what was going on. he was upset at first but i think he'll be fine. they can't be so dependent on me - that's all part of the problem. if i'm not there to take care of paperwork, bills, payday, etc., everything goes to hell.
so the new gig starts in about 2 weeks. i'll still be able to walk to work, which is great. hopefully i'm able to get myself together early enough to walk. that's my plan, anyway. the possibility of the new job made the past few days at work much more enjoyable, which is nice. being there isn't so horrible now. yeah. (side note: congrats to my marmy who gave notice at her current job & accepted a new job on friday s well!)
on a sad note, my pal, katie (my walking, gardening, talking & general hanging out buddy), is looking to spend the winter WOOFing in south america & then heading off to toronto for a gardening internship until next november. YIKES! it's funny how transitional baltimore is... seems rare for people to stay & as a result, most of the friends i've made since moving here have moved elsewhere. my last close friend here is young katie. looks like i have to get off my butt & actively meet people. pooh. there should be lots of interesting folks at the new job, so maybe that will help ease the pain of the impending friendless winter. eek.
should've skipped yoga this weekend but i didn't. as a result, i've developed horrible pain in my right shoulder. it's been building for a while & i just pushed it too much. as of yesterday afternoon, i've been limited in movement & it's a bit swollen. might have to make a doctor's appointment. hope it goes down by the time i start the new job. nothing like hiring a gimp.
the danners parents are coming out for a visit in a few weeks, so we've been looking into fun things to do. they'd like to go stay at the beach so we're thinking a night or to at Chincoteague Island, VA could be enjoyable. i've always wanted to visit & looks like i might get the chance. we camped a few times at Assateague Island a few years ago & this should be similarly fun minus the tent.
dan joined me for my walk downtown this morning. it was nice to have company. we wandered around a bit on our way home, which was nice. off to pick out some paint chips for the bathroom. if we're going to stay for another 2 years, our bathroom better look better.
