I believe everything happens for a reason. Not just because I believe in fate: I simply think that every little occurrence ultimately has its reason. I think looking someone in the eye and saying hello is one of the most important things someone can do, and there is a reason for that. This leads us to the next step, whatever it might be. It's completely random, out of nowhere we cannot understand at this point. There is a connection that occurs, and if we are fortunate, we learn about the human condition by watching and listening and letting these small moments happen when they do. This is why I say hello to strangers, and why I drop everything to hear someone's life story. It's all there in those instances. Everything.

Co-worker P's mom passed away last night. My sister explains death to my 7year old niece in the simplest, but truest form: Our lives are on loan from God. When HE decides it's time, he calls us and brings us Home to HIM.

Had my phone interview today. I just LOVE phone interviews...I can totally make faces when I hear odd comments on the other end and yet they don't see me. Ha! I feel good about it. Hopefully, feeling good means good results. I'm crossing my fingers.. and my toes...

I'm trying to be happy today. But as DL Hughley would put it, there's always one person at work that is THIS close to getting some a$$-whoppin'! GRR! In my case, it's my freakin' vendor! Makes me want to climb in through my monitor and strangle them. Come on people! We're all trying to do business here... bend a little.. give a little... help me out here! At the rate they're going - I would have NO merchandise sitting on the shelves come set date. My analyst is going to kill me! Let me kill my vendor first. I don't need this kind of stress. It's making my hair frizz.

Boss J gave me a pink carnation-gram for the breast cancer fundraising... just because.. :). I love flowers - and it doesn't matter who it comes from either.

SPEAKING OF BREAST CANCER... have you girlies felt your boobies lately? You should!!!

I'm pooped! It's hard to be cute at this job and not break a sweat! Ok ok... I'm not sweating.. I'm glowing! I hate feeling icky. Now my whole afternoon is icky.

I just found out something about this position I'm applying for and it's not making me happy right now :(. I actually feel like crying. I found out that friends J and E are also applying for it. I think I feel slighted because friend J and E felt like they couldn't tell me they were applying for it too. I hate feeling slighted you know? Especially by friends. I just hate it.

Sorry... I know it's happy week but... maybe not today.
