and then reality starts to set in…
Posted by: lifeisbusting on: November 25, 2008
Holy crap I’m moving. My offer letter came today (with a really cool pen) and I sent it back, signed. I faxed in an application for the apartment I prefer. It’s all happening. Despite my excitement, I am aware that it seems like I’ve never been offered a job before or that I’ve never done [...]
When one window closes, one door opens…
Posted by: lifeisbusting on: November 23, 2008
Or in my case, when every window in the house closes, one big ass door opens.
I am no longer unemployed, barring the official criminal background check, which thankfully I have no reason to worry.
My new job (I can’t believe I can say that) was worth waiting for, in fact I would have waited years for [...]

Greetings from O’Hare airport, where I am sitting here WAY too early for my flight. (After spending a year traveling via air for my first job, I mastered the 30 minute arrival before flight, through security and on board strategy. Alas that was before 9/11 but I still don’t show up before the preferred TWO [...]

I swear there is a Vortex associated with The Notebook and/or Antonement and John Edward: Cross Country (yes, the guy who talks to dead people). I tend to be easily distracted but my non-scientific study has proved these three things can stop me in my tracks and can press pause on my life until they [...]
Life *is* BUSTING!
Posted by: lifeisbusting on: November 14, 2008
These last few days I feel like I’m going to explode with excitement. Honestly. My heart rate is always up, I can’t sit still, I talk faster than my normal 1000 words per minute speed. I feel like a two liter of pop after a mentos has been dropped in it. The only times I [...]
Unemployment
Posted by: lifeisbusting on: November 10, 2008
I am currently starting month 3 of unemployment. I prefer to reference it as “Looking for the best fit” thereby taking the power from those who hire and giving it back to me. But it is what it is and I still am looking for a job.
This is not the first time I’ve been unemployed. [...]

Transparency, when it comes to business practices, is very important to me. After working in corporate america’s shadiest friend, marketing and advertising, for 6 years, the lack of transparency was one of the reasons I wanted to make a switch to higher education. Now, higher education isn’t perfect but so far, in my limited experience, [...]
Tonight
Posted by: lifeisbusting on: November 5, 2008
Nothing in my life has changed, really, today. It’s the same as it was yesterday, even a few hours ago, I’m still looking for a job, I’m still aching for the independence that is the core of me, my cat still prefers my dad over myself, and my car’s engine light is mysteriously still on.
Yet, [...]
Today
Posted by: lifeisbusting on: November 4, 2008
via Andrew Sullivan:
At 3 p.m. on Election Day, the Foundry Methodist Church voting station in Dupont Circle was doing light but brisk business. As I signed my name to receive my ballot, one of the poll workers loudly asked another to ring the small bell on their table. “Everyone please listen up for a moment,” [...]
