So I have come to a place where I have to make some decisions and I have to start making them quickly. I have about a month in a half left here of my internship and I have decided what to do after that. I have been asked by people if I am going to try for a staff position. Of course I have to consider this very carefully. I have to decide what is going to make me happiest. Most people, who know me, know that I am not super happy in the middle of nowhere. I grew up in the middle of nowhere, moved to a big city and absolutely loved it, moved to an island with a big city and loved it even more, and now back into hick country.
At one point of friend of mine had asked me to stick around here for awhile before heading to where ever I end up next. I think that may be falling through so I really don’t know what to do. I will be done in mid October, my family would like me to be with them through Thanksgiving, but I have bills to pay and since I am making very minimal here, enough to cover food and gas. It may be darn impossible to go that long without have an income. I also fear that I still don’t have enough experience to find a job that I will like and that I can be self-supporting. I have been keeping my eyes open on websites for job listings, but it kind of feels like they are few and far between right now. I really don’t want to subject myself or my family to doing another internship. It is just damn hard.
So, where am I going to be the happiest? I really wish that I knew and it was as simple as snapping my fingers to get to that place. I love the Seattle area and all the friends that I have made, absolutely loved Hawaii and miss it a lot too. I should feel free right now to do and go wherever I want b/c I have nothing holding me back, no boyfriend, no family, and so on. The only roadblock would be financial stability, but doesn’t that play a factor in 90% of our lives.
I guess this is where I am going to plead with you, if you know of any jobs or anything that I would be interested in please let me know. We all know I have experience in a lot of different fields, but would love to stick to the animal field that I have worked so hard to get into. Thanks for keeping me in mind. Hugs to all. :)

You tell me
As I sit in the trailer, crappy one I might add, drinking a glass of water*. I am contemplating many obscure forces in the world. The first and most obscure is men... Seriously I just don't get it. I have so much I want my little hands, ha, to type but really that about sums it up "I just don't get it." If someone wants/needs/feels so incline to help me figure this out then please all intell would be greatly appreciated. I am just tired, and I mean dead tired of runarounds, not just from one source but from several. And just when I think I have figured things out, something spooks like a deer caught in your headlight; one that ends up getting hit and injured and ends up in our wildlife clinic. The problem is.. I can help fix that deer, but sorry I cannot fix you (being the male species). Try and try as I may there are just some things that I just cannot fix, and I have too many questions with empty answers that don't help the situation.
Second ponder point.. Common courtesy, where did it go? I was walking around at 7 am cussing up a storm b/c someone didn't have the decency to return courtesy offered to them. How do I know that they had such a courtesy? Well, b/c I was the one that had extended it the day before to make their life easier in there job. Yet, I go in this morning to do the same job and find out that I am missing many vital items for the day. Everyone knows how when things aren't done before you and you have to do twice the amount of work before you can even start puts you off for the rest of the day. So pls I ask all of you please bring back the idea of common courtesy into your lives.
While we are on the subjects of "commons" another boggling question is, where is common sense? I think somehow it has managed to fly to the moon or something b/c people are getting worse and worse about what the hell they be doing. I have so many illustrative points that I could interject here to get my point across, but unfortunately I have been told that if it has to do with work I cannot post it, as much as there are glaring things that everyone out there in the world would understand unless you are THAT person who lacks common sense. But, I do also want to add not all common sense issues are work related, many of you encounter them on an everyday basis from people shopping in stores, to people in clubs/bars, to someone just walking down the street. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!
I do want to add something that has come into my mind lately. "Deception comes in ALL packages." Just keep that in mind.. it fits all three of these three things that I am pondering tonight as I sit here typing, the cats running rampant, and the dog snoring. First, well I don't have to explain the men deception b/c I just don't. I know as a man you are reading this going hey.. you women are just as bad, true, but you know you do it to, denial is the first step, acceptance the second. Women- you know exactly what I am talking about. Point two, well as it may appear someone is helping you out with a courtesy be weary of their intentions or is really going to be more work for you in the end. And lastly, people can be book smart but not street smart. That is the biggest deception of them all. I hope little ditty made think a bit and makes you think twice when go to speak, help someone, or god forbid, speak to the opposite sex.
*footnote I did just finish an orange juice-Malibu cocktail though.
