Spider-man's control, and Batman with his fists, and clearly I don't see myself upon that list.



An older one, but a surprisingly good song. I am not a Coldplay fan, so why I like the Chainsmokers, I have no idea. It definitely makes me think I should listen to some of Coldplay again and see how I feel now that they're not being shoved down my throat on the airwaves. But this song, I like. It's on a goodly chunk of my playlists, most notably, my interview playlist, which I listen to when I need a pick me up, or when I have an interview. It's not quite as inspiring as This is the Moment, even if in the play it's the moment of absolute hubris. But there's something very good about the lyrics if you can ignore the context. I listened to it on Friday while I drove to the interview for the job I don't want.

They have not yet gotten back to me, and the job posting is in limbo while our HR person is traveling. Argh. I am not patient, dammit. On the other hand, a friend from IKEA who I referred had her interview on Monday, so hopefully she hears back relatively quickly. I think she'd be a good worker, and she hates IKEA so much.

The boss either slipped during the interview, or said exactly what she meant when she said "You'll have an offer by the end of the week." The friend thinks that she meant "you'll know by the end of the week, but I'm not so sure. I mean, I've turned my job into something completely different by being smart and proactive that is infinitely more useful than just taking calls, and the other friend who's been there a year is beloved and doing great, so it's pretty good odds, I think. Plus the bosses love me. But we'll see!

Yesterday was good. I got a lot done, a lot of new Cardiacs filled for Columbia. We're getting to the end of how many I can scheduled solo, I think. I've looked through most of April and the appts are in March, so It could be tough from here on out. Aside from that, I took calls, filled more Cardiacs, and generally did my thing.

Right now, I'm watching the queue to see how the phones are doing while I'm doing the admin stuff. And if I see more than 8 or 9 in there, I'll hop in.

I do know our trainer asked for documentation of some of my tricks, so apparently that'ls being added to the curriculum, which is cool. Adding created training materials to my resume. That always sounds good. My resume is long, but one more line won't hurt.

Today shall me more of the same, I think. Filling in Columbia, taking a few calls, and just generally being a little happy Sunbeam. Work doesn't get any of my shit, of course. They pay me to be kind and functional, Not that I have anything to be angsty about. I'm pretty happy right now. Which is kind of weird to say. The world is a dumpster fire, but all I can do is what I can do, and try to keep my mental health on an even keel. So far, so good.

Today is payday, which is lovely. I have a few bills to pay, and then the rest shall go into savings to prepare for Alaska. I'd like to have decent money in all three accounts, since I know the hotels and boat will all put holds on the cards, so I'd like to have two for those and one for fun.

Tonight, I will make Turkey or beef bulgogi. Depends on if I get off my ass this morning to make the Bulgogi marinade. It's some chopping and grating, so it's a little time consuming. I also need to make sure one of the Korean pears is ripe to grate.

Tomorrow, I will have the other. We got a small upright freezer (like 3 feet high, front loading), so I ordred a bit of meat to put in it. I'm also going to go through our freezer this weekend. We have so much shit that is probably freezer burned that needs to go. Once done, between the two, we'll have plenty of tasty and accessible food. Right now, it's terrifying pulling out something, because everything is jenga'd in there so tightly.

I've got baby back ribs, pork chops, chicken and Polish Sausage coming tomorrow. There's a local butcher who delivers, so I've been using them. The meat is far superior to the grocery store. I did get some from the Asian Market as well, since they have bulgogi and stirfry meat.

Okay, time to decide if I want to make bulgogi marinade, shower or both. Everyone have a wonderful Wednesday!
