SIGH!

After eight months of living here I finally built up the courage to trade in my California license for a Texas license. :( Aside from building up the courage it is also illegal to have an out of state license after thirty days of residing in Texas soooo I braced myself for the four hour wait at the DMV. I actually had time to go to the mall, and get coffee. That is how long it took. They don't believe in appointments.

The moral of the story is that every time I have to pull out the wallet and see my new license I cringe. I don't feel like "it's me" at all. I am not a Texan (obviously). Maybe it's just a matter of time until I get used to seeing it there. Or maybe I will NEVER get used to it. I actually managed to get a copy of my California drivers license so I've considered placing the copy over my TX license. Yes, I don't mind going through the denial process.

My next step is to personalize my license plate to read, "Californian" (or however many letters they allow). Oh wait what if my car gets keyed....Oh well who cares bit&*@s!!!!!

Moving On!!!

After an interesting eight months I am finally moving on to something new. I am just happy that I am getting out of where I am at the moment. I feel as though ever since I left USSS I have a had a lot of interesting twist and turns take place in my life, or maybe it's all in my head.

I will be working with a team of six people in the human resources section of Macy's. I have to say that I am looking forward to it. It's something new and I will be learning the operations side of Macy's. I am always open to learning something new. I will get an increase in pay, flexible schedule, and I will be working with a team of "professional" people. I like that! :)

I have been so close to getting my foot in the door at Federal agencies, but for one reason or another I have not been able to land a job that I want. I keep telling my self it's simply not my turn yet. At least I am on their "waiting list". Hope never dies!! :) In the meantime I will roll with the punches and enjoy the ride!!! :)

I have learned not to obsess over what kind of job I have. As long as I have my family and health, that is really all that matters at the end of the day. BUT my search is still not over!!!!

To be continued......
