5/5/2009 It's My Birthday:)

It's my birthday today. So far, I'm off to a great start, the love of my life gave me a one year membership to 24 hour fitness. Oh. happy day:)

My horoscope in the SF Chronicle today says:
TAURUS-(April 19-May 19) What use to come easy doesn't any more. This is good because it pushes you in a new and more creative direction.

Well, this is true. I started working when I was in senior high school, and I have not been without a job since that time. But, I was ready to move forward in a new and more creative direction. My last job had become stifling. After layoffs at the company, my schedule change to nights. Now my commute, built around shuttles and BART was compromised. There are no shuttle buses to my neck of the woods after midnight.

So, leaving all of that behind me, I am pressing forward to high calling of a new career path. It's hard work, but, I'm a skilled at hard work. Above is a picture I painted with the paint program on my computer. It's practice. But, it's representative of my life. Roots firmly planted in the ground, supporting my life, as I go through the process of branching out. vlb

In Development


My Life in Development

Today, I started the journey
Yesterday, I followed the path
Last week, I kept the faith
Last month, I prayed
Last year, I looked forward to the future
Many moons ago, I grew up
Tomorrow, is my birthday

by vlb, May 5, it's my day, it's the celebration of the beginning, of what was to become me, and there is no period at the end of the sentence, just the knowledge, that as before, my life is in development

May 1st 2009 & May Showers on Labor Day


May lived up to it's reputation today and brought in the showers.

It's also Labor Day. I so wish May had brought in a shower of jobs. But, maybe it will.

In my own job search, I had a welcome phone interview yesterday. Next week, I'll have phone interview#2. Will the week after bring the in person interview? and perhaps soon, a job?

Well, whatever happens, May is my month. I was born on May 5th, and my lucky number (if you believe in lucky numbers, hey, I'll take any advantage I can get.) is lucky number 5.

Summer resorts are hiring per the Associated Press-Here's the link:

Summer resorts hiring heavily among US unemployed

But, lets get real. Here's hoping that those of us out there looking for a job, will find one, soon, a job, that after this summer, will still be ours! vlb
