Good afternoon world! On the job front, weather canceled work, so I have another free day! But no paycheck… so, in search of that at-home-job holy grail, I applied with a premier internet search site who pay a pittance for questions answered. The world at large pours in questions, which get translated into proper English by other people, and then sent to the likes of (hopefully) me, wherein a jeopardy-like race against time ensues, and I get to search and cite sources for an answer to the aforementioned question. If accepted, it will be an independent contractor situation, not actual employment, but could mean a couple dollars here and there, and something moderately interesting to add to my resumé. A schedule created at my own personal whim as well. At the very least it will be a way to whip my internet search skills into shape, a step or two beyond just googling something.
In other news, I was able to catch up with a good friend last night, someone who I haven’t seen in person in a few years. It is interesting to see how people change, how they grow. In this particular case I was glad to see the person had become more responsible, but at the same time more willing to try new experiences in life. He seemed as though he had healed from a great deal. Me, my dh, and our friend were able to hang out until almost two a.m., recounting old stories and sharing the events of our more recent lives. This was especially enjoyable because of our mutual histories, and it became clear that old wounds were healed, and we had all moved on. Perhaps that is one of the tests of true friendship, to have weathered stormy waters,forgive and be forgiven, and still delight in each others company? In any case, I look forward to our next meeting with none of the trepidation that preceded this one, and am both happy and proud to have genuine friendship affirmed.
