I have finally started being active in the job-hunt, and the first few days were uneventful and I was about ready to fall into a deep dark depression that no one would want to hire me and all I was good for was the cubicle hell that I call data entry.  (I was feeling a bit over-dramatic...do not judge, you have your moments as well!  : )  Then towards the end of this previous week I've started to get offers.  Several offers.  Now I'm just trying to negotiate hours and pay. 
Do I want to teach?  Do I want to be a chiropractic assistant again?  Secretary?  Oh yeah, and I can't forget that pesky school thing.  I think if it weren't for uni, I'd be doing two jobs.  But then again, I probably wouldn't be looking for part-time work if I wasn't a student, so I guess that whole train of thought is a bit superfluous.  Ahhhh, the crazy and super fast thoughts that race through my head!!
I am leaning toward the chiro thing, simply b/c I like the whole helping people get better idea.  And alternative medicine and health interests me.  It's a stretch from my degree, so that is also exciting.  And who doesn't love free chiro?  If I get that perk there, that is.  But I also really want to do this tutoring cognitive skills job as well.  But then every day would be completely full. I'm talking morning, noon, and night.  Hmmm.  When would I study?  I like this break thing.  Can't it last for a few more months?  Or maybe I could hire someone to do my homework for me.  Alas, darn my ethics!
Mom brought home a little kitty, Derby.  I've yet to see the little stinker but I hear he's adorable and that he and Zeus are already friends.  And that Tucker wants to eat him.  Hmm. 
I had acupuncture again last week and it was even weirder this time.  Joachim put a whole circle of needles in my knee (very odd to look down at your leg and see lots of big fat needles it in!  ew!) and it was indeed a bit painful.  I told him I felt an intense, dull pain, to which he responded enthusiastically, "Great!  Then I really hit the spot!"  Um, yes, that could be one interpretation of the event....
I'll write again soon when I've decided which job and/or jobs I will be taking.  Changing jobs is weird.

Good job getting offers and negotiating...since this isn't your dream job, maybe take the one with the highest pay? Just a thought :)
