nightmares

February 19, 2009 · 1 Comment

The past two nights, my dreams have been filled with nightmares that all revolve around a vengeful Mother Nature. Two nights ago, I dreamt I was back in Cape Cod with the W girls, except the flat expanse of endless beach resembled the Bahamas. The girls were exploring the fine sand while I was (of course) taking pictures of a wall of sea-green tide. Somehow, it had swelled up to the size of a 3-story cliff, and without warning, began to crash down on all three of us. We survived it but the fear I felt as I realized in the dream that it was going to come down was overwhelming, and very, very real.

Then last night, I dreamt I was at home, except somehow our house had turned into a Southern-style ranch with a large front porch. The weather forecast had said it was going to rain, but I was looking towards the door where bright sunlight streamed through and felt confused. All of a sudden, it was as if someone shut off the sun – dark clouds rolled in, and strong gusts of wind began tearing down street lights, electrical wires, and the roof over the front porch. My parents and I watched in horror as I asked them what would happen if the roof ripped off, as it surely seemed that way from how the wind was attacking everything else around us.

I wonder what this all means.

It’s eerie and strange to be here today. I kind of look like a Sephora worker but oh well.

FKJ, RIP. 7 years.

I don’t even know what to say.

Got my first rejection letter today.

I haven’t been out of the house in 4 days.

It’s almost July.

This is all an experience. This is all an experience. This is all an experience.

power resume

June 20, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I now have a power resume with action verbs… and I suddenly have “Go go, Power Ranger!” in my head.

It seems like the more I jobsearch, the more experience I gain about the entire process – looking back, my mistakes are revealed and I’m left wondering what those mistakes cost me…

Statistics time:
20: days I’ve been jobsearching.
1: number of interviews I’ve had.
21: number of cover letters and resumes sent out.
25: number of action words in aforementioned new power resume.
0: hours of restful sleep since June 1.
