I know...I've been bad and haven't posted any Christmas pics yet. I spent most of my holiday at home cleaning like a mad woman...not that you can tell. But my filing finally got done and some recycling went out and my book shelf got organized (sort of...I read WAY too much and ran out of space for my books). I can't seem to pry myself away from the computer for very long because I've become obsessive about stalking my e-mail. On Jan 2nd I received an e-mail from a professor setting up a lab and looking for a Research Associate. *Ding ding ding! Hire me! Hire me!* The research sounded interesting and it's within driving distance of home. Also he contacted me after seeing my resume on Careerbuilder.com. *He wouldn't have contacted me if I didn't have a shot at the job, right?* Anyways, I've applied to it and sent him a personal e-mail, but I haven't heard back from anyone. Granted, it's only been 2 work days and everyone just got back from the holidays, so I realize that I'm being totally neurotic. But, I REALLY want to get out of here and get a new job. I'm tired of putting my whole life on hold and denying myself things (like a home and a family) because I'm waiting to finish this degree that may never happen. I...(Holy crap...Dr. X just walked in while I was typing this...lol...she reminded me that thesis deadlines are at the end of March...yeah right...that's totally gonna happen...lol). Well, I should probably do some real work. Just pray for me, okay?
