Don't You Forget About Me: Just Checking In

*Simple Minds

Ok so, I'm just checking in to let ya'll know that I haven't forgotten about you. It's been a sort of hectic kind of week or two, with a bit of unregulated laziness. You see, I've been trying to get used to this 3 hour time change, but not very diligently. This causes me to wake up no earlier than 9:30 everyday.

I've also been in the fruitless search of a decent job. I even went on a two-hour interview yesterday. At the very end of said interview, as I was saying my thank-yous and goodbyes, my interviewer informed be that she was "not hiring right this second," but that she would let me know when something becomes available. Excuse me? This is information that would have been helpful to me YESTERDAY!!! Well, you know, before the interview. Or two weeks ago when I had the phone interview.

So now my granny's sick. She's got pneumonia in both of her lungs, and she was admitted into the hospital today. My mom and I are going up to Virginia to see her. So, as you can see, I have been a bit distracted. Oh, and I'm having lunch with my childhood best friend tomorrow. We haven't seen each other in 15 years and I just found her a couple weeks ago on Myspace.

If I have any advice today, it's this. Get your priorities straight. Know what's more important. Family or job. Money or lack of stress.
