Jobs and life
Aug 18
It’s been a while since I’ve last posted and to be honest it’s because I feel torn in many directions right now and some days I’m not sure what end is up. I’ve put my name in the hat for several jobs around Portland. I’m feeling pretty good about the opportunities and new horizons that might open up for me. It’s very empowering to know that the skills I have are sought by other companies and I have some choices. I like all the companies I’ve applied for recently. They’ve all got different opportunities and they’re looking for different things. I do hope one of them works out because I’m ready to go. I’m ready to work for a company that values it’s employees, where relationships matter, where getting the work done, and done well matters. I just want to hear. One of the jobs I’ve interviewed for, another one I got an email and they wanted to see my samples. I was able to direct them to my portfolio but I haven’t heard from them yet, but they just asked yesterday. SO we’ll keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.
On another note, our garden is going gang buster, we’ve got tomatoes to pick every day. Eric’s got a TON of eggplant and the little seedlings I planed are coming up so we should have some new lettuce and carrots and I don’t know what else. I got all signed up for the scrapbooking convention in November, I can’t wait for that. It will be fun to go with Julie again this year. I love going, it’s like our annual ritual. I’ve also been getting a lot of pages scrapbooked and have realized that much of last years pictures, I didn’t journal the even then so now I’m coming up with something now, which just isn’t as good so I need to get better and journaling for that stuff. Eric is working like crazy this weekend at the winery so I get to do whatever over the weekend. I think I’m going to build a few more eLearning courses so I have them in my “bag of tricks”.

In my personal life I enjoy wine touring with my husband and friends. In addition, I enjoy scrapbooking, sewing, knitting, and making/enjoying great food.
