Something that touched my heart...
TO MY CHILD:
Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile and say how perfect it is.
Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.
Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.
Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.
Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.
Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.
Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.
I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.
And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day.............

Ok.. i'm tired of looking at that huge rant i posted last week. FYI.. i'm not feeling quite so intensely fed up with life. The issues are still there, I am just better able to cope now. Work officially sucks eggs. They are having me do case management for CalWORKs student. Basically this is social work. Helping single parents on welfare by being their on campus contact person/education coordinator.. yet they STILL haven't given me back the pay I was getting before. It'll be Sept. before they know what the final state budget is going to be. At that point then they can finalize whether or not they will be able to give me back the 30% paycut they took from me back at the end of June. SO.. i said .. screw this.. I'm going to look for another job. I got a call back from Cydcor and the interview went extremely well. I went in originally for a Customer Consultant type position and the lady interviewing me says "Jin I know you are here for the consultant position but, we are also hiring for entry-level management and I really would like to consider you for this position instead. I like how you come across to me and I think that you would do very well." w00t! I'm kind of wary. It sounds a lil too good to be true. There is a 6 month training program for entry-level managers. /me crosses fingers I really hope that I get this... she really made it seem like one of the positions was mine. I wasn't even given the opportunity to finish filling out the application form. That's a good sign right? LOL either a really good one or a really bad one. In anycase I'm waiting for her to call me back. As far as $$ goes... since I've never been salary she has suggested that when i do get hired to get put to work for about 2 weeks and see how i do. Then negotiate a salary. I was given a ball park of about 30, +/- some $ dependant on whether or not I do the management thing. Either way it sounds fair to me. I think she just wants me to prove my worth. I take it as a direct challenge. Outsourced sales/marketing team. O.o I'm not going to lie... I'm pretty intimidated. At the same time I'm really excited about the opportunity. It's time to test what I'm really made of.
Class started last night. I'm taking a 5 unit Accounting Fundamentals class. HFS.. it's going to be a TON of work.. but the good news is.. as long as i put in the time, i'll get an A. ^^ This semester is going to be challenging... especially if I change jobs. Not too worried about the other classes... Tonight is a computer class (I'm qualified to teach the damn thing...lol ) and then in mid-oct I start my saturday microecon class. It feels good to be busy, i'm so dang tired of being broke all the time. SOooooo.. that's the update on me.
Next time... Same bat time... Same bat channel....
