Hello Everyone and Happy Earth Day:
This morning, I'm trying to figure out what to tell you about myself. I suppose I could carry on about the bad dye I gave myself over the weekend that left my hair the color of an orange. That was not fun. I've been washing it daily and it looks like some of the color is starting to fade, good. Although, this morning I was doing my make up and appraising the color, thinking maybe I'll go back to the reddish brown color I sported as an undergrad. It wasn't bad, in fact it looked quite nice. Except that red tones are high maintenance, so we'll see. I thought about dying it again with a semi-permanent color or going to the salon and having them fix it. The former is something I could do between color appointments, the latter, way too expensive. One thought I entertained was coloring my hair black, nah. Enough about that.
Right now I've got some really good music going on. I'm listening to this one song that has a real nice late fifties rock and roll vibe to it. It's a guitar instrumental, I think it's Dick Dale, not sure. The announcer just identified the song "Apache" by the Shadows. The song before that was something by Francoise Hardy. At least I don't feel any real urge to get and dance or start singing. That only happens when I listen to Duran Duran. Why is that, I have no idea. I just know that I can't listen to DD without getting into the music. Thus I need to listen to music that's not distracting. Whatever.
The job search goes a bit slow at the moment. I applied to the City of Los Angeles Office of Historic Resources last week for a position an Architectural Associate. This is something I can do because it does involve a lot research and critical analysis. Perfect. Besides that, I wouldn't have to relocate. I really would like to find something soon. Some of the job alerts I set up for myself don't look promising at all or have nothing to do with anything. I know I shouldn't be so picky but I want to find a position that I can hold and feel good about it. My philosophy about work is that it should be meaningful and sustainable. One should enjoy what they do and do what they enjoy. If a person can't bring a good attitude to work and really want to be in that position, then there's no point in working even if it's just for the paycheck. A paycheck is not worth it if you feel emotionally drained everyday or just simply punch a time clock. So I look for openings that are meaningful to me. When I go to interview I want to convince the hiring manager that I want to be there and that I'm the right person for the job. Let's hope I find something.
