another avenue here This has been a very long week for me, but I might have finally set some things in motion that have been lingering for months. To put it another way, the class may be the key to changing everything in my life, but I won't know until I take the exam and go forward from that point. At the very least these past few days gave me some time to see things from a different point of view. Even though I wasn't on vacation all week, I was still away from work and able to see what other people in the field do with the same skills that I have. In some ways I was given proof that there are other work options out there for me. My current job isn't the only answer and maybe I can find something that will be better for me. Now all that I have to do is keep that kind of thinking with me until I take the exam. February may not be as busy as January was for me, but I don't want to fall backwards either. ... Being in such close contact with Donna all week was strange. Some of what she said and did was expected, but then there were those other moments. There were the conversations at lunch about marriage and children that were very personal and certainly not coached. Hearing her mention such things made her more human than the usual facade that she has in public. Now obviously there is nothing happening between the two of us. Unlike Ann I am not at all attracted to Donna. Something about her is very unappealing. Maybe its those frown lines on her forehead from too much artificial tanning. Ouch, that last comment was harsh, but I've heard worse from her lips about other people. Of course this doesn't make me any better. ... My sister Hope liked the i-zone camera that I got her for her birthday. The idea itself was mostly a spur of the moment idea, so I wasn't too sure how she would react. We also talked some more about our Australia trip and I think that both of us are counting down the days until we go. Having bought the tickets makes it real.
