So it's hard to believe how quick March is going by. It's already the 12th. St. Patty's Day is this coming Thursday, we bought the corned beef and cabbage for the house today. We're also starting some minor repairs and improvements to the house, which is pretty cool.
I'm interviewing for a full time job at my current company, but in a different program. I'm very excited, I think I will be more comfortable in this new program and it will be nice to have a full time job. It'll technically be my 2nd full time job, but I don't know if the first one counts because I wasn't being paid for it.
This post turned awfully mushy and self-reflective. I should keep a journal or something. If you're interested in the mush of my life, check it out in the read more section.
Speaking of the old job, I was really just starting to work it a year ago this month. I very much want to put it behind me. My state tax return got audited, partially because of how my taxes were assessed on the meager income I did make while working there. I'm trying to be good and not use any names of companies, that can get you in trouble nowadays at work. Let's just say the job I'm trying to forget was when I was an insurance salesman. It's been tough putting that behind me. There was a lot of wasted time and energy trying to make it work and it really ended up costing me more than I earned. At least it's in the past, and when I turn 24 this May, I think I'll start forgetting about it.
I guess in the end I'm embarassed about how my career path has turned out. I spent all of college saying I wasn't going to be a teacher. Now I'm trying my hardest to be a teacher and not having success at it. Then I had that glorious four months last year where I was going to be an insurance salesman. It's just embarassing to keep changing what I'm doing with my life. I'm not really even proud of what I'm doing now, it's just what I have to do to keep things going. I guess that's what I really want from my career, to be proud of what I do and not feel embarassed when people ask what I do for a living. I don't know if I'll ever have that, but I can't shake the feeling the only thing I would be proud of doing for a living is being a writer.

I love mushy posts.
I still maintain that the insurance thing was a huge learning experience. And I still believe that you can be a writer.
To be honest, I'm not all that excited about your potential new job, except that it will be more steady than this one, and you will be paid more.
The last time I had a full time job was at Wal Mart.
I am pretty excited about house repairs. It's about time we get to fixing this place up.
