I received a new job offer today, 30 minutes before taking my midterm. Booyah.
Couldn't have come at a better time. I've been looking for months.
My test anxiety melted away, and I kicked the test's ass.
I will soon be sharing a celebratory late-night pizza courtesy of my gal pal Candace.
Right now I'm dancing to Jouney - yeah, Journey. Getting my Steve Perry on makes me happy. Life just got a little better.

Morning Ramblings - The Sequel
I have a crazy busy day ahead of me, so I thought I'd ramble on before getting started.
I had a dream last night that Arnold Schwartzenegger was my honey. Yup. Except he wasn't all roided out, and only wanted to watch movies in bed and cuddle. I woke up feeling all soft and happy. Now, I could analyze the dream in hopes of applying certain theories to my waking life. However, I'm thinking I should just take it at face value and be content with the fact that I spent quality time with the Terminator and am still alive.
I am in serious need of an oil change, and am debating on whether to go to Jiffy Lube on Kingshighway/Manchester or the garage across from BB's. Jiffy Lube hassles me every time with add ons, and when I turn them down I get scared that they'll sabotage my car in some way. But it's cheaper than the garage, and since I'm experiencing economic hard times, I'm leaning hard to the Jiffy.
My neck is all kinked out, like I slept funny (oh, Ahnold). Should make for an interesting workout this morning.
Class tonight, another quiz. Bring it on.
My interview went well yesterday. And seriously, St. Louis is the biggest small town in America. This particular company I interviewed with is a regular business and not an ad or marketing agency, but one of the interviewers asked if I knew Mark, a flash developer from one of my former jobs. Sure I knew Mark. Turns out we had both worked with this guy in the past. Small world. Hope I get called back - seems very stable, good values, nice perks, honorable founder, steady growth. All qualities that were lacking in the place I most recently worked.
And that's all the news fit to print today. Until tomorrow...

Morning Ramblings
I have a job interview today - good luck to me.
This time change has been rather affecting. I feel completely off, the entire day. Discombobulated. Weird word, weird feeling.
Donkey Punch - new teeny-bopper-horror movie that's in theaters now. I've googled the term "donkey punch", and there are varying degrees of appalling explanations. Seriously? Who thinks these things up??? I consider myself progressive and open-minded, but come on. I wish I hadn't been so inquisitive. I'm going to leave this one alone (both the movie and the meaning).
Speaking of movies, the remake of "Last House On The Left" comes out this Friday. I watched the original a few months ago, before I knew of the impending remake. Dark. It will be interesting to see how the newest version treats the retribution aspect.
Here's what makes me feel old: the actress who plays the mother in this movie, Monica Potter, is one month younger than me in real life. So, it seems that I can no longer relate to the young adults in the movie, but rather the parents. Or maybe that's a good thing, depending on how the movie plays out. And yeah, I realize that I'm old enough to have a high-school aged child right now. But I don't. And therein lies the rub.
