So it's spring!

First things first: I saw my first robins of the season today. It is most appropriate too, considering it is the first full day of spring. Temperatures would suggest otherwise. So would the fact that I've heard robins before today, just not seen them. I'm still waiting for my blatant sign of spring, when I see it, I will share.

Next: I just sent out my resume and a cover letter via email. To say I am fed up with the way I am working right now is an understatment. Lately I feel as though I am living the life of a 52-year-old man who escapes his ruined home life by arriving to the office early and staying late to avoid the uncomfortable silence in his own house since his kids just left for college and his estranged wife wants nothing to do with him. Only I'm not a 52-year-old man, I'm a 24-year-old woman and if I keep going down this road will crash and burn into something terrible and horrific that not even a silver lining would be able to save. Yes, I read too much. Yes, you are probably laughing right now. So no, you cannot make fun of that analogy.

The fastest way to change is through action. Hopefully this is the first step in the right direction. Time will tell, as it always does.

Last: I did not appreciate the opening scene of 24 last night. I knew, by the way Jack acted that Tony was gone, but I am in denial. I've been asking all season for him to wake up and take over, when he did that, I was happy. But then they killed him? What gives? I honestly believe that Jack has enough to be pissed off about with the death of his best friend (if he can qualify having a best friend).
I did not appreciate when the Homeland asshole told Chloe that the Big E was on his list of deceased. Jerk.
I do not appreciate that every whore who works for a terrorist seeks immunity signed by the president. I'm a big fan of 24, but this tactic is getting really old, really fast.
I'm not sure Sheryl Crow ever got on my good side, but Good Lord the plot twists at the end. Really? I bet the DOD is working with the vice president to release that nerve gas somewhere.

Taken out of context or run through a google search, the preceeding information about last night's episode could really be blown out of proportion. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

not laughing, and not making fun. actually it prolly makes for quite a good analogy. only there IS a silver lining that can save you from that... you mayhaps just haven't seen it yet.
