wednesday night recap

This week has been up and down. My former employer seems to think they are justified in not paying complete slaries even when they had no work for salaried employees, so I have begun a war against them. This sucks because I really valued that job, and the people. on the other hand, the new job seems great, and I have met a lot of new people who seem like they could really be great people to be around. I'm only going to look at the bright side these days, and remember that good can only come from the good things you chose to take from your day. I have broken my life goals into yearly, monthly, and daily goals, which so far I have been meeting. I'm on the right track, and in doing so, will have many wonderful stories to share.

how effective is this thing?

whats important in a blog? direction is of ccourse important. i have changed mine about 800 times. i am now going in the direction of personaly updating. really i suppose readership is important. how do you capture tons and tons of readers? i will be writing with the updates in my life. career goals, reading, successes, and overall happiness. i have found that just writing for myself is what ultimately satisfies me!

changing lives

I'm sitting in Unstoppable Force Tattoo, here in Richmond, Reading the Happiness Project on my kindle, and watching my brother ge his first tattoo. It hit me that in the last week, and really since I have been reading this book, I have really applied Gretchen's (the author) experiences to my own life! I have loved my most recent job, but was losing way too much time with all of the travel. While i was in town I got down to some serious work, risking rejection, and braving the job market. I found a new job here in town. A slight pay cut, but with it comes opportunity. A chance to do what i want to do. Next week I will be persuing my real estate liscence. Yes, in this economy, why the hell not? I have been one of the most successful people in my peer group in this painful economy, why not try it? Its not like I have anything to lose! The time has also given me the chance to dust off my camera and really get back into my photography. I am not looking to make money off of it, but I do need to get into my hobbies. I have been looking for a room mate and have found a house in Byrd Park, which I am very hopeful will pan out. I will try to post my progress more and more as we go. I am so excited and confident that these changes will all be in the right direction!
