Self-less Promotions
I want to see less of myself in the U.S. and more of me in Paris. Thus my promotion of this contest.

Employed
So the news is......I have a new job!
Through a bit of inopportune timing and surprise recommendations, I was offered a position at the LINK in our hometown. (Our town's chamber of commerce/economic development/education liaison/newcomer liaison organization. Very fitting for this Mac of all trades!)
I wasn't looking for a new job, and I'll miss my co-workers here at the W terribly, as they have shared in my first working years. I'll be forever grateful to this place for being a progressive (that's right people, I said progressive) place for me to find my voice. Ideas and inspriation were always welcome here, and I have been so very fortunate to work with, and not for, some amazing people.
My new adventure in the working world promises to be challenging and exciting, and I am both thrilled and terrified. It's a strange juxtaposition to deal with sad goodbyes and happy hellos in a very short amount of time. I cannot stop reflecting at how fortunate I am, that I was able to choose between two jobs when many are unable to find employment at all.
Tell me, how do y'all deal with new opportunities? Head on, or one toe in? I'd love to hear some fabulous words of wisdom. Keep the stupidity to yourselves.

Hiatus
I apologize to you, imaginary readers, for my unannounced hiatus. Big changes going on around here. Prepare yourself for news to start trickling in ssslllloooowwwlllyyy.
Change is good. Right? I myself both love and hate change, but isn't everyone that way. We love change that we want, hate change in the things we love as is. I hope that I'll always be open to change, as long as it's for the better.
Just think without change, we might still have these
And instead of talking on this,
We'd have this,
It's often difficult to see changes as positive at their inception, but in the end, change gonna do us all good.

(I had a hot pink pair of these at one point in my life. I rocked them with penny loafers and a side pony. 3rd grade was the shiz.)

Good Karma
You ever feel the need to put good karma out into the world, just to cover your ass?
I'm so grateful to have a job. Seriously folks. Working for the state has its perks, but it also means that cuts can come at anytime.
As a young, educated, employed (Amen) individual embarking on my career, I never really reflect on how fortunate I am. I've never feared a job loss, or felt obsolete. I've been lucky enough to have job offers while I'm employed.
Thank you universe, I truly appreciate it.

Time is Money
As I post more frequently, albeit sporadically, I'm attempting to bring some new topics to the web.
For all you workin' ladies out there (cue Melanie Griffith, shoulder pads and massive hair), how much is your time worth? After being offered a job lately, I've begun to attempt and evaluate exactly how much my time is worth. Is more money worth excessive after-hours work? Is a flexible schedule worth a lower salary?
For all of you 9-5er's out there, how do you equate your professional worth when weighing future options?
