life is what you make it.

Things have definitely improved since the last time I wrote here. I bounced back from Eric pretty quickly, thanks to just about everybody I have in my life. The job search is going at least slightly better. The Health Science Center contacted me with a few responses they wanted and then said that I would hear back within two weeks if they want to interview me. Then the other day I got a call from a veterinary clinic that I sent my resume to and they want to interview me for their vet kennel technician position. I'm hoping more for that job over the lab job at the Health Science Center, but I've got a few concerns about moving to Austin. First off, I'm not sure that the position will pay what I would need to support moving to and living in Austin. Second, I applied for a position in Texas Parks and Wildlife in Corpus doing sea turtle stuff. I'd be making over $30,000/year and it'd be a perfect career starting position. I'm not sure I'll be considered because a lot of people in this field have years and years of experience or at least a Master's, and I have neither of those things. But I'm hoping that working at Sea Turtle Inc. (which works very closely with the Corpus program) will give me a little edge.

So basically the issue is that if I move to Austin for this kennel tech job and sign a lease somewhere and move in and get settled then I'd be stuck there and would have issues accepting the Corpus position, should I even get offered. I'm not really getting my hopes up but I just want to make sure I make logical decisions with what my next step is. I do know that I'm craving my own place and I'm craving work and a schedule and a routine. When I have no routine, I get so disorganized and sidetracked from doing what I need to do.

Blah blah blah. I guess that's it. I had a great day today and a really nice, quiet night. Red wine, reading, Miles Davis, and episodes of South Park. And it just started raining again, for the millionth time this week. I've been loving it.
