			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Been a crazy busy person.  Good thing I don&#8217;t have a job!  I KID!  Still looking.  But in the mean time good things are a brewing.</p>
<p>Decluttering, purging, spring cleaning, what have you.  Feels good and I found out that you can actually sell used wine corks in the process.  Who knew?</p>
<p>Rebuilt my bus&#8217; engine.  whew!  That was monumental and I still get a thrill every time I turn the key and it starts.<br />
 <img src='http://tashrambler.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Started a hoop troupe, too.  The Spinnerettes.  We&#8217;ve already performed and have three upcoming gigs.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d say despite the panic of unemployment, things have made a good shift.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A little stress reliever on the horizon.</p>
<p>Been rebuilding a VW engine, looking for work, missing my grandmother, staying out of the dating world, considering purging 90% of my possessions and moving my bedroom into my basement to make room for a roommate.  That&#8217;s a lot to have on the brain all the live long day.  shit.</p>
<p>But out of nowhere a fellow VW Bus Camper texted me with an offer I couldn&#8217;t refuse.  I&#8217;m headed to Buses by the Bridge in Lake Havasu, Arizona this weekend to be with Burners and VW peeps and hoopers!  holy crap!!!.  I&#8217;m flying down with three VWBCers and meeting up with another one in California then we&#8217;re piling into a rental and joining our friends.  can&#8217;t wait!</p>
<p>I should be working on the engine but my brain needs a break or at least a lovely distraction.  Got hung up on the distributor &#8211; the drive popped out before I got the valves adjusted and I couldn&#8217;t wrap my head around how to re-install it correctly.  I mean, what would you do?!  I&#8217;m learning this as I go and it&#8217;s another thing that kicks my self-confidence in the nuts from time to time.</p>
<p>But enough of that&#8230;I&#8217;m going to AZ to be with friends and VWs and hoops in the sunshine!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a job interview tomorrow.  Second one in five months.  I met with a friend and former co-worker today who happens to work there.  We had Mexican mochas and talked about VWs and our old TV station and reminisced about something that no longer exists.   Wait, this sounds kinda gloomy.</p>
<p>Our meeting actually inspired the crap out of me.  Earlier in the day, I sort of had a panic attack, second-guessing my abilities.  She told me to focus on my strengths and I realized my panic attack was a waste of adrenalin.  As we talked, I could see myself in the interview then at a desk, doing the work, feeling confident.  It felt pretty fucking good.</p>
<p>Thank you, MCS, and good luck to me!</p>

<p>Be careful what you wish for.  I was fantasizing about staying until after it was over.  Well, TA DA!  I got it.</p>
