Alls Well That Ends Well

so we had the parental units over for a dinner that turned out pretty decent. i don't think the chicken was as juicy as it was last weekend, but it was still tasty and the vegetables (red and baking potatoes, sweet potatoes, vidalia onions and garlic), plus the sauteed sugar snap peas (thanks green giant!) and kugel were all good.

and i did something i didn't think i would do for a very long time. i applied for a director of marketing position. i never intended to but some times you just have to put yourself out there, to take a risk, and roll the dice.

i don't expect to hear from the contact as i'm sure he'll be swamped with gazillions of resumes. the only things in my favor are that i have a masters degree in integrated marketing communications (which they are requiring) and lotsa communications experience. which they are also looking for.

the reason i don't expect to hear a peep is because if i've learned anything, it's that people like me are a dime a dozen. and that i will probably while away my time in obscurity. which is okay for now and the time being. but i know that i don't enjoy working on some of the types of projects that are the main part of my job. and i already know that i want more.

so we'll see. regardless of anything else, it was a nice evening. and my mom even called to tell me that i can cook. and coming from her, jeez, that's huge. perhaps, as they say, there is hope for me yet.
