Everyone who knows me can tell you that I do have one major flaw and that is directions, geography and knowing where I am going. Therefore, with the invention of GPS in the car - it has been a miracle for me to actually make it to places on time using the least amount of miles to get there.
As I am interviewing for these roles locally my GPS is starting to frighten me. I follow it with absolutely no push back. But to get me there fast - it is taking me thru the scariest areas. I am going down back streets that have "CAR JACK ME STAMPED ON MY LICENSE PLATE." At first I disregarded this pattern on my first interview but this is like the fourth time where I am getting to my destination through areas that look like Juarez, Mexico. Terrifying....
NEW HABIT
I remember when I was little wondering why older people never noticed things on themselves. Like a shirt not buttoned properly, a miscellaneous hair coming out their chin etc.. It bothered me because all one had to do is look in the mirror. Now I am noticing that I have developed this habit. For instance today, I went about 3 hours with mustard on my face and then I took a run only to notice my running pants were on backwards. The slide pockets were awkwardly on my tush. What the hell... This sucks especially cause I am in the midst of interviewing and I am scared of random food in my teeth, overshot lipstick bleeding off my lip or something else completely gross. I think it is an evil trick the higher being does on us to humble us down to reality. As I am writing this blog, I feel a popcorn kernel shell on my lip... aaahhhh..
LIMBO
I am back in that space of waiting and hoping someone will give me an offer. I am starting to freak. I talk to recruiters and get phone interviews but I need to land a job. I should not be complaining but I am kind of getting tired of my constant spinning habitrail wheel (hamster image) to no where. On a positive note, the weather is awesome and was out and about today loving it. HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND.
REALIZATION
Having a geographic disability puts me at risk with completely depending on my GPS. It does get me there each and every time - but safe routes needs to be built into the offering - hmmm .. maybe I am onto something. You can choose, fastest route, shortest route or safest route. Realization 2 - Getting older is an experience that knocks all sense of dignity out of you. It is time to invest in a good magnifying mirror with a light, tweezers and a portable tooth brush... fun and games.
