Whether the Weather be: Windy, cold
Events of Note: The vagaries of human nature & job-hunting
In the Nudes: Earthquakes, civil war and disobedience, general mayhem, Iran.
* So, I could rant dutifully and somewhat colorfully about the double-standard, hit and miss nature of the discouraging and otherwise futile exercise known as job-hunting. After all, it's not called hunting without a good, a-priori rationale. "The beatings will continue until morale improves" (Monty Python). However, I don't want/need to become too discouraged. As has been pointed out to me by my sympatico and well-meaning friends, "It's early days. Yet!." Everything happens for a reason, and all of that. Point is, I am getting interviews. A start. Not second interviews, mind you. But, still ...
* Guinea pigs. My family farms 14 of these power-vegetarian rodentia, all of whom are strategically hardwired to be in a 24/7 state of freakish neurosis. Compared with our pesky, omnipresent human neighbors, however, they are far less obnoxious, and even their poo is more tolerable than the steaming human excrement that can be found lurking in the vegetation behind the shopping mall across the street from us. After all, the provision of public bathrooms or 'restrooms' in many cities and towns in the USA is regarded as being a potentially seething hotbed for private indecencies, rather than being a marker of civil society, as such. Or, so I'm reliably told. Interstate "Rest Areas", aside.
My, my, aren't I wandering off on a rambling string of many-colored tangents, today!.
Not a greener, Australian version. Simply a down-to-earth Kiwi girl, trying to make sense of Northern California-one sweet, succulent day at a time.

New Dreams: New Doors
January 02, 2012
Whether the Weather be: Cloudy, chilly
Events of Note: see above
In the Nudes: Ron Paul: 'nuff said.
Now that I am "Board Certification Exam ready' and with college degree # 4 now notched up, this blog is most likely to take on a different focus and 'life', at least for now, anyway. So far, I've had one job interview, with yet another scheduled for tomorrow. However, new shoes, new haircut, business suits, and professional portfolio aside, it seems as if several household issues that have previously been relegated to 'back-burner' status, are becoming more and more pressing. That's not to say that life here in Humboldt, CA has become any more or less miserable. Far from that. Indeed, a roof (non-leaky), bread and butter, a few Marsala dregs, and such, still seem preferable to the otherwise shabby chic alternatives. We shall see....Or, rather, I will write, and maybe someone will read (?).
