Change is in the air

Wow has it been crazy. Some stuff went down that has got me really thinking.



Tico and I broke up. I know. You are thinking "Weren't you already broken up?" Well, yes and no. You know how you can be broken up but still sort of be together? We still talked on the phone and still saw each other. Well, now we are really broken up. I tried not to meet his son, but for some reason last week he felt the need to bring him over. (I get attached to kids easily...) It was alright. He was cute and loved playing with the dog. And they didn't stay long. But besides that, we had some words on Sunday and Monday, and I think we are pretty much done. I even changed the locks on the house, which pissed him off. Hey, he should have gotten his shit earlier, huh? I told him that if he hadn't needed it by now, he would be good till I got back in a month or so.

So I made it to Ohio safely. My emotional state has kept me a little up and down at times. Sometimes I'm good, and other times my chest hurts and I get so worked up. When that happens, I just need someone to talk to. I tried to call Shel, but would she answer the phone? NO! That's ok, Shel, I got a hold of someone else. It's the worst in the day time when the people I'm staying with are at work. I know what you are thinking, why don't you work? I am, I will. I went out and applied for some jobs yesterday. We'll see how that goes...

In other news, I'm off to Chicago! I have been playing phone tag with some recruiters in Chicago for the last week or so. Finally I spoke to them the day before yesterday. Yesterday morning I sent them a nicely crafted cover letter and resume. It was mostly crap, but It all sounded good. Well apparently the company loved it. They want to interview me... IN CHICAGO. So I'm going to drive over on Monday, interview Tuesday, and spend Wednesday with friends. I'm nervous because I don't think I interview well. So, I've got to study up a little bit and try to get back some of my programing skills I haven't used in this past year... Wish me luck! If it all works out, I could be living in Chicago this time next month...
