So!
I had an amazing summer working at Assateague Island. I worked and lived with amazing people. BEST SUMMER EVER! I had an amazing semester working through some new challenges and working on new projects with students I knew but had not worked with before. I got to help a professor with researching changes in vegetation in northeastern North America, I got paid to do it and I will get to present the results at a big conference. AMAZING. I completed a Master's Degree is December. SAY WHAT?!?
But now...all of that is over. School is done and I have completed my degree. I will continue to help the professor as needed to complete the research and prepare for the presentation.
But now...now I begin job hunting. ugh. I've been working and reworking and reworking my resume and updating all the sites I have it posted to. Its painful. I had it analyzed and its plain to see that all that time I spent in retail is going to hinder me..(back to the drawing board). I don't want to be in retail, it's not for me. It was alright when I started out. I was happy to have a job to help pay the bills. But it became my personal hell. But I got out. I went to Assateague for three months and actually got to do work that I wanted to do and thoroughly enjoyed and that mattered to me. And then I did some research at my school. I refuse to go back to retail.
Needless to say...I'm stressing out big time. I know I haven't been looking for very long (only a few days) but every time I redo my resume (and it's been a complete overhaul each time) I get more and more stressed out. But I refuse to go back to retail.
Never. Again.

Maryland Here I Come!!
ok so i'm not leaving until sunday but still!!
a lot of things have changed since my last entry. my husband is no longer leaving for 3 months (yay for the kitties) and echo's behavior has improved so much that the vet no longer believes that she will need medication while i am gone. I still have the sentry collars and feliway set up for the summer while i am gone to help the kitties be less stressed while i am away. plus a big ol' bag of catnip and several new catnip toys to help keep them occupied.
the only thing i am concerned about is the trip itself as i am driving this 8+hr trip solo. i have never driven that long solo before (usually
stuff!
OK! so good stuff has been happening! school is good and work is better than it was before. I quit work in september and 2 months later they asked me back for the holidays as an associate (much less stress and i needed the money). the new store manager is great but sadly is leaving after only about 6 months in the position. the job is just too much (and she used to be a district manager!).
but anyways! i got a paid summer internship! woo! i'll be leaving for about 3 months to muck around in salt marshes! i will bring my camera, hopefully i will have some down time to take pix. I will be on an east facing beach so hopefully i can get some sun
unsure of my next step
normally i might post something like this on facebook. but i am friends with to many of my coworkers on fb so i am posting here. hopefully making these thought and feeling public will help me deal with them. i feel like i need to get this all typed out before i talk to anyone in person
right now i am having a hard time at work. i am a part time manager at a retail store in a mall. there have been many changes in the company to include new behavioral changes for the employees who work in the store. i have been struggling with these behaviors and new rules that boil down to saying anything to make a sale, and making enough sales per hour. its
A trip to the vet
I need to bring my kitty to vet. She is 14ish and has tumor two like growths on her lower abdomen. And now she is having some mild difficulty jumping on to the low couch (she is over weight and may have arthritis). Yesterday I went to pick up my husband and while I was waiting I walked into the vet clinic next store to see if I could schedule an appointment for the next day. I told them my story and answered a few questions but everything fell apart when I answered one question: Does your cat have any medical history?...I replied no. The told me that without proof of any medical records (vaccinations and what not) that they would have to mak
