| When bad busy becomes good busy |
Ok, I think we can all agree that looking for work is just no darn fun. I mean, all the uncertainty and insecurity, the possibility of rejection, plus all the work involved in preparing a good resume, maybe even different versions, and letters for each potential employer. Since I'm not even in the country yet, I have mostly just been scoping out various NGOs and checking the not-for-profit want ads and have only applied for a couple things I didn't think I would get anyway, just because I won't be able to fill the position soon enough, or be in the country to attend an interview. But as luck would have it, today I took a big step forward in the journey from job searching to job having. After a lengthy conversation with someone I think I will really like working with, I have gotten an assignment to do for a paper which covers organic food issues, which is the area second closest to my heart after the goal of getting people fed. But since I decided to work in an area of the world where that's not the most pressing issue, I am excited about being able to work to make sure that what people eat is healthy and safe, not just for us, but for the environment.
This means things will be a bit hectic the next few days, while I try to get this piece written in between my regular work stuff, so hopefully you'll forgive me for not having a slipper picture today. If it's any consolation, I decided a button just wasn't enough and that I will have to make a couple crochet flowers to put on them, as long as I can remember how - I haven't crocheted anything in a dog's age! Wish me luck! |

Excellent.. So good to have smart people writing about great stuff like Organic foods. And While I am commenting here I just read the German expressions post out loud to my hub. One of our dear friends is from The Black Forest so we are keen on German wit.
Thanks for the giggle!

Congrats! We have the good fortune of living in the birthplace of Whole Foods and Central Market--Austin TX. Your buttons have gotten me to thinking about my own button stash. Hmm, maybe I should design a multi-buttoned cardi...wanders off to sketch.
