Ch-Ch-Changes

I had another interview today and decided to change everything up.  I wore a dress with a cardigan, instead of my usual suit*.  I also put my hair up and over the weekend I treated myself to some new makeup (so it would actually look like I was wearing makeup).  Unfortunately, even though I had practiced with my hair, this morning when it actually had to go up properly, it wouldn't.  That's just how life works, though.

The interview itself went well.  I really liked the guy who was interviewing me and felt very at ease.  In addition to the new hair/new outfit, I decided to try something else new during the interview--actually telling the person what I really want in a new job, instead of telling them what I think that they want to hear, in the hope that I'll fit into their box.  Doing that was how I ended up in my Triangle in the first place.  I tried to fit somewhere where I didn't and the results were pretty disastrous.  I don't want to be a square peg in a round hole again.**  Thus far, I have three more interviews set up for the next two weeks.  I'm hoping to actually get to a second interview with someone soon.  In the meantime, I plan to stick with the plan of telling people what I actually want to do, even if it doesn't fit with them.  I'm no worse off than I am now, right?

And now to totally change the subject (yet keep within the theme of change).  If you haven't taken the time (about 30 minutes) to watch it yet, please view the video "Kony 2012" (which I have conveniently embedded for you).



Joseph Kony sucks.  He is the leader of the LRA, which is an army that is fighting basically for the sake of fighting in Central Africa.  For over 26 years he has been kidnapping children.  With a mixture of fear, drugs and systematic brainwashing, he forces the boys to become child soldiers and the girls to become sex slaves. He has kidnapped over 30,000 children.   I learned about him for the first time a few years ago when I met a priest who had been ministering to children who had escaped.  He is Number 1 on the list of criminals wanted by the ICC and the US Government has authorized 100 soldiers to assist the Ugandan army to bring him in and this is the year to do it.  Watch the video, repost it so your friends can watch it, and then call your senators and congress people.  Regardless of your political affiliation, as the video states " where you live should not determine whether you live.  Every child deserves the right to have a childhood." 

Thanks for listening--I will now get off of my soapbox.  

*I think I'm sticking with the dress plan, since my suit jacket doesn't fit well, especially since I've lost some weight.

**That's a lot of shapes, isn't it.
