Wednesday

Today Brenden has music diagnostic exams on campus so I'm at home by myself for a good portion of the day.

The maintenance guy came and fixed some things. The ATT guy came and set up our phone and internet. The trash guy came and brought us a trash can. I'm currently waiting for a representative to answer my call on Uniden's Customer Care Line. The pre-recorded messages keep telling me that they will be with me in "just a moment" and to "please hold for just a moment longer." Also there's some guy with a Southern accent that pops up at the end of every recorded message cycle advertising the now available bluetooth cellular headset that comes with a bonus car adapter. The music is perhaps the best part though. It reminds me of an early nineties video game. I can't recall the exact name of the one I'm thinking of but I've got a specific one in mind.

I've looked at some jobs on UGA's human resources website. I've looked at some graduate programs on UGA's graduate school website. I've looked up a recipe for chicken and gnocchi soup. And now I'm blogging.

(Sidenote: I just got off the phone with the guy from Uniden and tried to figure out what happened to my music. I had been sitting with the phone on speaker while I was waiting but now my early nineties video game soundtrack complete with Southern sales rep has gone.)

This year will be interesting for me. I will be job hunting until I find a job. I will be home/volunteering until I find a job. I might also be applying for graduate programs. Maybe I'll learn how to use my sewing machine. I could finally read all of those books I've been buying this summer. I can take dance lessons. Catch up on the sleep I lost these past few years. Learn a new hobby. Review the Dewey Decimal System. Write a book. Give homemaking a try. See if I like it. Try to like it if I don't.

I think my biggest problem with finding a job is knowing it's temporary. Because it's temporary (and because I'm not sure for how long it will be temporary- two years or until next fall) I really don't know what I want to do. Guess I should figure that out. Brenden's only been gone for part of one day and I've had people at the house for a good part of that day and I have tons of unpacking to do and I'm in the middle of reading three different books and I'm still bored. Ridiculously bored.
