For the Record

I'm so not clear sometimes...

The new job, you know, the one I had no business getting 'cause I'm not that good n' all? Yeah, that one. The company is Tulsa Dental. The office is in, well it's in Tulsa. They interviewed me in Tulsa. I got the job offer in Tulsa.

And my territory is in Los Angeles.

So I won't need to own a truck with a gunrack or wear a cowboy hat or listen to Merle Haggard. Or Jeff Foxworthy. But don't worry, I'll still be messing with the bull and getting the fucking horns, like always.

The Famous Chocolateer

Wow… One would think I had been amidst an incredibly “busy” chapter in my life. I haven’t written one Goddamn thing to post here. I hardly return emails. I don’t like picking up my phone much. As far as this chapter being busy? Um, no. I’m afraid, on paper I haven’t been occupied with much as of late. I did spend a good deal of my time looking for a job for roughly the first 3 weeks of my unemployment. You know, after I decided the best job I had ever accepted in my life turned out to be a four day career. Right. No typo. I worked there four days. But I’ve already talked about this. So yes, I’ve been unemployed for over two months now. The money is gone. The credit cards are being re-activated. Cash advances. Groceries. Chicken Little with the girls. And believe it or not, I haven’t felt like I’ve had any time off. Looking for a job. Interviewing. Taking care of the girls. Loving. I’ve been busy. *That’s why I previously eluded to not being busy “on paper”* The way I feel, I have no idea how I ever worked a full time job into my busy lifestyle. I’m somewhat reflective presently for a reason. Another chapter is finishing up. And it’s not a cliff hanger. Everything is working out quite perfectly. I’m currently on a plane. (I pulled out the laptop just so I could give the impression I was diligently working on a project of utmost importance) And I am. Anyhoo, I’m on a return flight from Tulsa Oklahoma. I stayed less than 24 hours. My final interview with Tulsa Dental. A big, meaty, very well paid position I had no business applying for. And I got the job. My eyes well up when I think about this year. The loss of my Mom. My pending divorce. The love I now have in my life. The quitting of RW Smith. The four days at LA Fitness. The past two months. And the new job. The job comes with a car, a laptop, a cell phone, an expense account. I almost feel like an adult. *almost*

And here we are. Just you and I. What a fucking year.

And I’m on a plane and I got the fucking job.
