The good, the bad, the ugly...

The good - Today I got a call from a nearby public library that I had sent my resume today and I am going to meet with the director next Thursday. Yay! My first official library interview. It's only a part-time opening and I'm not sure if I should even consider taking something like that if I am only going to continue to look for something full-time but everyone I talk to seems to agree that it's not horrible to do that. We'll see. The best part of that job is that I have friends who work there.

The bad - Actually, nothing really is bad, but I did have a LONG day on Monday, starting with my third-to-last day at the engineering firm, where I actually kind of enjoyed my time for once. I had to try to find a bunch of articles and that involved searching WorldCat, Google, various government Web sites and more. I was impressed with my ability to think of ways to find things. After that, I stopped home briefly to grab a change of clothes for later and headed to campus to attend the IST holiday party with my roommate and her GA friends. It was fun! There was ample free wine that I took advantage of... I stayed at the party to the bitter end, where I then persuaded Dan that we should hang out at his house between the end of the party and when we needed to meet with our group. That evolved into actually conducting the group meeting at Dan's house... until midnight. It was just a long day. I was definitely ready to go to bed by the end of it.

The ugly - I had difficulty sleeping last night (which I often do after consuming alcohol) partly because every time I tried to sleep on my left side, my leg was in a lot of pain. I could tell I had a bruise there but only this evening did I realize the extent of the bruises. Yes, there is more than one. They are nasty, quite colorful ones that I have NO idea how I got. Am I the only one who is constantly finding bruises on her body and having NO clue where they came from? You would think I would remember something causing such damage, but nope.
