Greetings and Salutations,
This is a real ad I came across last night surfing Craig's List out here. Seriously. I nearly peed myself laughing. He is asking $100/month for 10 sq ft! While this is nuts and cakes, it is one of the many things I love about being here. That something this crazy doesn't make me reject the difference between he and I.
We are all different outwardly expressed or not. While I don't get this guy's brain (thank goodness btw), there is enough room for us all on this planet. I can appreciate what I don't understand and it doesn't offend me or make me uncomfortable. Because it doesn't effect me personally.
The biggest take away I get from this is that he has procreated. Someone either lives with this guy or at the very least had sex with him. When I look into the mirror, and think about this ad, questions arise as to why I am still single and he isn't LOL. Have a great day and hope you atleast get a giggle out of this!

For Rent: The space under my sink
I am renting the space underneath my kitchen sink. I will of course empty out the area and have included a photo with my stuff still stored there only to give a better idea of its capacity. It is clean, dark, odor free and relatively dry. I will allow you access to my kitchen M-F from 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm PST so that you can get at your storage area without issue. I do ask that you do not store any animal, vegetable, mineral or sprits that are either alive or dead or dying. In addition I also ask that nothing explosive, flammable, caustic, products from protected or endangered species, weapons, Nazi memorabilia or Michael Jackson albums be stores in this area. I will not be held responsible if your storage area is compromised by my toddler or the teenage boy next door looking for old Playboy magazines as it is not a secure cabinet in any true meaning of the word. You may be able to get some sort of rider on your Homeowners insurance or bond to cover your belongings in the unfortunate event of their demise. Also, if my sink breaks and the storage area floods or food debris from my garbage disposal fills it inadvertently, I will contact you immediately so that you can remove all of your material from under my sink. You will of course be responsible for not only cleaning up the area but also for all repairs.

Onto My Next "To Do" List---Employment
Greetings and Salutations,
Well, it has been a week today and I am hard at work trying to get work. I staid out of the car for four days (driving atlease!) The move was well, a move and it is still in motion since I have not landed in my own place. I am grateful that my friend and her family have taken me in until I can get on my feet. (MAJOR understatement)
I didn't get everything done back home before I left like I wanted but in the end, it all worked out. I was damn close and did a great job coordinating all that I did for this move solo. I had some help to tie up the loose ends and some things had to be left behind no matter how painful it was to do it. I was in serious jeopardy of dragging that on way longer than was healthy. It was time to go. Overall I can add several things to the "experience" column in life fosho!
On Tuesday I applied for 2 per diem jobs (no hours promised, first to get called off, and first to go home early) in places I would love to work and would hope to keep even when I get full time at a hospital. I also applied for 2 different hospitals 4 different shifts. Tuesday was a busy application day for sure.
I heard back from the 2 per diem jobs and should know more Monday. It is looking great (spoke on the phone Friday and going for site visit/meet staff Monday) for one and promising for the other (haven't spoken directly with that one yet). Plan to follow up Tuesday with both hospitals. Have another paper application to fill out and send in Monday for another Surgery Center.
I am going to spend the next weeks getting adjusted to the traffic patterns and culture shock that is California even when "your in the know". Things are just "different" out here more so than most places I think. It isn't meant to sound or be negative, but just "different" and if you want to make it successfully out here, adjustment just takes time and you have to open your mind and ride the wave. That takes an extraordinary amount of energy and willingness.
I am here and so very happy to be. I look forward to getting the necessary steps completed to get settled ASAP and it will be a challenge to keep my mind in the here and now. I am anxious to feel "moved in". So far I would give myself a "B". Breathe. Slow and Steady wins the race. This is my mantra for the next 4-6 weeks. Picture a turtle. BE the turtle. That is unless you are driving around here. In that case you wanna be the Hare, because in THAT race, the damn turtle got ran over in the right lane on the 101.
