Interrupted

My Life Thus Far

I Wish Her Peace

In 45 minutes I can call in and find out if I work in 2 hours. On-calls suck. I suppose they're a necessary evil, but they drive planners like myself crazy! How can I plan out my entire day if I don't have control over a 6 hour chunk of it? As I get older, I understand more that life cannot be totally planned, but flexible plans are better than none, I suppose...

A huge stressor has been lifted off my shoulders! I went in to work out this morning and Janice happened to be in the office (with time to actually talk to me, instead of grabbing something and running off to a meeting or class). I told her my issues with submitting my application and she set me up on her computer. 15 minutes later, I was all submitted and a copy in hand for my own records. Yes! Turns out my new laptop's security settings were the culprit. It would have been nice if my computer or the website would have told me that. Adjusting security settings would have been a simple enough fix. I let Jose know that my application was in and he'll get back with me as far as interview times go. I'm nervous about this one. The requirements are different for the Health Coach than they were for the Fitness Assistant and I don't *technically* qualify. They want at least one certification in a group fitness class of some sort(Spinning, Zumba, Pilates, etc.) I don't have that, but I'm willing to become certified in SOMETHING (if they're willing to pay for it). They've covered certification costs for other employees, so it could happen. What I lack on paper I possess in enthusiasm!! I'll have to remember that and repeat it during the interview :)

I didn't get a very good workout in this morning, since I was working on my application. Because of that, I'm feeling a little tired and sluggish today. I'm having a big mug of Pomegranate Acai green tea, hoping that will give me a little boost. If I don't have to work, I'll probably go for a run. If the weather can decide what it wants to do. I don't mind if it starts sprinkling whilst I'm running, but it's super-hard to get out and start if it's already a deluge. I can make up the missed cardio tomorrow, I just have to get through today.

While Keenan was at therapy today, I decided to spend my free time walking around Target. I had a $10 Target gift card from Ebates.com burning a hole in my wallet. As I was walking through the parking lot, I passed a girl I used to work with at VS years ago (she quit when she became pregnant with her first child. Apparently, she now has two). She never liked me. She's one of those self-righteous "you should live like me or you're going to hell" Christians and we just never got along. I didn't have anything against her, but me being a non-Christian was a huge deal for her. Well, 3 years later she walked past me in a parking lot and gave me the nastiest look ever. Now, is that a very Christian thing to do? As Gandhi once said "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ". I wish her peace. Because if she can hold animosity towards someone over nothing at all, for 3 years of her life, she needs to find peace...

15 minutes until I can find out if I work tonight. I suppose I'll just sip my tea and relax :)
