Believe it or not, my friends, this is the first time I have attempted to enter the work force of the 'real world'. I am not finding the process enjoyable or amusing. I am flumoxed (sp?) by resumes, floored by cover letters, disgusted with internet application forms, and beset with bad handwriting problems when the application forms are written. BUT in the middle of my frustration a bright spot gleams- I did get one job already! All right, its only 5 hours a week, but hey, they will probably be some of the happiest hours of my week (especially if I do get some wretched office job)!
The job I did get is the feeding of four horses right down the road from where I live. For those of you who didn't know before, I love horses. I also love getting up early in the morning. I also needed exercise. This job nicely combines all three. Not only that, I'm getting paid for it! Just remind me of this in the dead of winter when I have to get up at 5:30 in sub-zero conditions to see to their welfare. :-)
Even then I think the benefits will outweigh the weather. What better way to spend my morning than trudging through the cold to a warm barn that smells of horses, sweet hay, grain? Or to find four beautiful horses eagerly waiting for me and be able to pet them, sing to them, talk to them, and push them around to my heart's content?

Subzero? Excuse me? Just what state are you living in again? Oh thats right, the delusional state! hehehehe :)
Good luck. Office jobs are killers...
Rejoicing with you, K!
PS: Is my profile pic not cool? If you know who took it (in J'lem), please let me know. Don't want an angry photographer on my hands.

I think you'll find that your profile pic, which is of an arched walkway directly across the street from the New Gate, is from my collection. Enjoy! :-)
that sounds really neat... the crispness of winter...the warmth of a barn with the horses moving about in their stalls... the smell of oats...early morning... would it be too early for the sunrise... but maybe you'd catch it on the way home:)(that sweet stuff they eat) ... it's a party for the senses:)
The job search, ugh! God bless with that:) I know what you are talking about... check out my blog at journeygirl4god.blogspot.com
