Jobs, jobs, jobs....

I am not sure why I put that picture here, but I thought it was so pretty. I have that thing for lizards... always wanted one. Yes, and the monkey too.

So you all know that Mom got the job. And she is starting on my birthday, on the 1st of March. Wow, I guess that's a good sign! Well, we will definitely miss her, and so will the zoo. After three months we all just got so used to each other. :-)

And I got a new job too. Today I went to sign the contract. I will be working closer to home now since my new job is located in Sanford, which is only 22 minutes from our house. I applied for a job at Maurices, a (chain) clothing store, and from all the applicants, they picked me. I know it's nothing big, not what I would want to do, and it's not my dream come true or anything, but I am actually very happy that I will be working there. It is really hard to find a job here, in NC. You either have to be a registered nurse, an accountant, or a stripper. I don't qualify for any of these. And the pay here is so low that illegal immigrants in Denmark make more money per hour than I do.

Today I drove an hour and a half to met the new store manager, and she made it clear that in three months she wants to see me signing the contract again, but as a manager. Since she is not going to be in the store all the time, she needs someone dependable. She thought I was the most qualified and since the recent assistant manager is leaving soon, the position will be open. That made me feel even better. And I love the clothes they have at the store. :-) Yes, of course--I will have an employee discount.

I will still be working with make-up, freelance. And I might even go back to painting. I guess I will never be able to work again as a translator/interpreter. That carrier is over... Well, new country, new jobs, everything from the ground again.

There had been so many things happening in the past few months, but I just didn't feel like writing about it. It is not always as boring as I say on my blog... I just omit certain things. Like the fact that for the past few months I was trying (very hard) to work independently. Be my own boss, have my own business. But it didn't work out. So I am putting it away for later. My health also had been a big issue here. My migraines just got worse, and after trying new medicine, that gave me terrible side effects, my doctor decided to send me to take an MRI. It came out abnormal. There is a white spot on my brain, nothing cancerous, but because of the location of this white spot, my doctor was concerned and send me to a neurologist. Last Monday I had another MRI taken, with the contrast, which was supposed to show if the white spot is inflamed, or something like that. If it's not, than it was caused by my migraines, too much or either too little blood flow to the brain. If it's inflamed, than the doctor will be checking me for the MS, or whatever it might be... we will see. That's not all. I also have been having problems with my stomach and as much as I am honest here today, I am just refusing to write what the illness is. Ok, if anybody is curious, call me and I will tell you. But it's also painfull and annoying at the same time, and I had to change my diet drastically. It sucks. It sucks so badly that I am out of ideas what to eat. And I also have an anxiety disorder, that's since my childhood. It's just that for the past few months it got worse. So I am on medicine, and doing good. Mostly... Until now nobody really knew I had it. Did anybody noticed??? No... right? Gosh, my sweet Bozarth family... what you are going to think of me now??? and what about my friends? Now I need to start thinking: who has the link to my blog??? Ok, this os enough for now. There is more but I am just not going to write about everything. That's probably too much already. Today the result from my MRI was supposed to get to my neurologist, and I called and left them a message. I said that I want to know what the result is, and if they can call me on my CELL phone, and I gave them the number. I knew I will be on the road almost all afternoon, plus the meeting with the Maurices' manager. Guess what? Those idiots called me at my home number! And left a message to call their clinic about the result! I really want to curse here. Believe me, Mom and Rob taught me how to! So I got home around 7.00 pm, listen to the message and got mad because it's FRIDAY and I will not be able to know until Monday!!! It's frustrating. Maybe that's why after writing about my new job I just went on, and on, and on....

Ok, I really didn't think that I would write ALL that here. It's like writing a diary, but for real this time. And ironically, this blog is called DEAR_DIARY. Usually when I post stuff, I select what I write carefully. Especially if that is something to do with stuff that are important and stuff that I am not sure if I should, or want, to put online, open to everybody. This time, I did. Wow... should I "save it" now, or "publish" it? Which button should I click on?
