The job hunt isn’t moving as quickly as I had hoped and I’m feeling a little exasperated over it. It isn’t the job prospects, per se, it’s me. I’m a ducks-in-a-row kind of gal–it’s a security thing. Finding and keeping a good job in the area is important to me, a lot is riding on it, and I haven’t made it off to an encouraging start. I’ve had a couple of potential offers, but nothing solid yet. To make matters worse, I’ve been holding my breath for a particular one which so far has dragged the hiring process out beyond my comfort level. (Isn’t that always the way? You want one to call, but instead all the others do! LOL) As friends (and certainly Life) have reminded me, what one wants is often just a few steps ahead of what one really wants, so the passage of time can be a good thing. Nice advice for this time in my life.
During my run this morning I kept telling myself that in one month none of this will matter or be on my mind 
Cam and I went to see Beowulf a couple of weeks ago, and afterwards we bought the full-length poem (this seeing the movie then buying the book thing is becoming a trend…). I’ve nearly finished it and must admit that I think there is little conceptual overlap between the poem and the movie (which I did really enjoy, by the way. I’m a big Neil Gaiman fan). That being said, I’d recommend any fantasy fan out there to go and see it…just don’t expect to whet your appetite for classical literature. They each stand on their own as distinct works of art.
