It's been too long, I know, I know. I've been busy, yeah, busy. A week and a half have gone by, let's see if I can remember what the heck has gone on.

Good news last night. Mom went to the doctor finally on the way home last night. Her chest pains were from "tetse syndrome", she separated the muscle from her rib, because it's been aggrivated it has been painful. Rest and an anti-inflamitory will help, and it should be just fine. This of course comes after a little drama and confusion in the midst of the doctor's office moving. Her regular physician is great, he was mine when I lived there and I really liked him. She didn't see this guy, but a new one who was one of the only ones available. I feel good about what she told me. They didn't treat her like a dumb female. My mom and I are not dumb, we both hate being treated that way. The doc asked a lot of questions and ran an EKG and didn't treat her in a condesending manner. This is kind of a hot button for both of us since it caused her big problems when I was a kid. She had headaches and was feeling terrible, they told her to go home and take asprin, when she eventually was hospitalized for Meningitis. My dad on the other hand felt bad, and was hospitalized for a weekend when all he had was the flu.

I called the LA AIDS Ride office again on Thursday. This after prompting from Dan to "get your ass on it". I left a message for the director and doled out the shcpiel again and asked him to call me. I talked to Eduardo too, still no sign of my name in the system, at all. I was hoping to hear from them yesterday, but I didn't. I probably would have called if I hadn't been so darn busy at work all day.

I found out this week that one of the two guys in IS for our office quit two weeks ago. He was on vacation previous to that, came back for one day and left. I had no idea until someone said something in passing on Tuesday. My head spun around and I immediatly barraged Jai with a ton of questions. Are they hiring another person? When? Have they interviewed? Is it a senior position? He told me that it was a junior position. "Desktop support?", I asked. "Yeah that's about it, I think. Why, do you know someone?" My hand shot in the air so fast, just as Colleen and Matt said "oh my god, her!" So, with Jai's prompting I called the IS Manager (who is a little intimidating to me, why I don't know, but it bugs me). I left him a message asking about the opening, what was planned, and let him know that I may have a cantidate who is interested. He had not called when I was ready to leave Thursaday so I called him again. He told me that yes, it was a desktop support position, and it would be part time in Milpitas and part time in SF each week. That part has it's plusses and minuses. I can lean from them there, see my old buddies, but it's driving to Milpenis. He told me that the posting would be coming out next week and I should check it out, and "I know youre interested, one of they guys told me." hmmm, this coud be bad, or good.

It could be a huge step for me, and give me some great job experiences while I am taking my classes.

Yup, I did it. I registeed for school finally. Well, sorta. I at least put in my admissions application. I can register once I petition my class on Thursday. Of course the first class of the MCSE course is full. I am new so I would have had to petition anyway. No biggie, I hope. I am hoping to get into that and the Widows 9x class too. Concurrent enrollment, ontop of a new job (hopefully) and training for the ride. Okay, I think then that qualifies as going out and doing something. If the new job doesn't fall in there, then it is going to be even rougher because of Bayer. Yikes.

My luck, that's when I will meet Mr. Wonderful and then I won't have any time. Yeah, sure.

This of course is null and void as soon as I get a job offer in LA. I did find out that BKM is in need of experienced people. They have a lot of new folks and don't have a lot of industry knowledgeable folks. I think I might be a happy medium. Kim gave me the name and number of the HR lady in Tustin. Once i finally get my resume together, I will call them. i hate doing a resume, i never know what to say. At least this is about me, and nobody has to like it, I dont do it to impress anyone, i do it for me. If you happen to read it, then fine. I enjoy other's journals, just cause i am a voyeur. Resumes on the other hand are quick bits about your past in which you hope to catch thier attention and pass on the important aspects of your jobs. Heh, yeah me, wonderlost blabber mouth. As you can guess, this is a challenge for me.

Training:
We have officially started the MWF 5:30am at the gym routine. I have been pretty good about it, I have gone for two weeks now and only missed Wednesday this week. I was being a wuss, cramps. PMS sucks, in fact that whole aspect of being female sucks. I really don't give a crap if is in the whole cycle of being a woman and mother, and the whole child birth thing. I don't like em, don't want them.

Most days I have ridden ten to fifteen miles on the bike and walked on the treadmill for about fifteem minutes. I do a little weight work on my arms, but not a lot. I am still a little dopey in the am and not too into all of it yet. My main focus is on the bike. I am feeling a little better about all of it, but am still deep down a lazy ass couch potato!
