just within my grasp...

this morning marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another in the life of the unsinkable molly brown, my dog that is. she is being subjected to a procedure the likes of which make me proud to be (a) a male, and (b) a human. yep, she's gettin' the babymaker ripped out. poor little puppy. she's only 6 months old. life must seem quite unfair to her right now. actually, i imagine it's more like she won't even realize what has happened to her, since she never got to use it in the first place. she'll just go on being my sweet little girl who loves licking momma and daddy's faces after eating flowers and sand.

after taking the little girl to the vet, i stopped by mcnasty's before heading to a mock job interview i set up with dr. harris. while waiting in line i was listening to some derek webb (the not-quite-new-anymore mockingbird album) and had just got to the song rich young ruler when i looked in my rear view mirror and saw some poor dude struggling to single-handedly push his dead car out of the parking space to a nearby service station. my heart leapt in my chest and i looked up to say, "thank You, God," but as i opened my door to go help the man somebody else beat me to it, so i just sat there while they easily pushed the car on its way to salvation. how anticlimactic is that? i was thinking, man, that sucks! at least he got some help, though. funny how stuff like that happens. you ever had one of those moments where your pausing to thank the Lord actually ends up being what interferes with you doing what He has just seemingly set up for you? i get those sometimes.

well, i'm in the lab right now, instead of being somewhere else i should be, which is in dr. harris' office having that mock interview in preparation for thursday. argh! i go to his office and get the message that he is apparently not there, which sucks, but at least he still has some time on tuesday to pencil me in, so we will see if that works. it looms ever nearer, and i find myself simultaneously excited and anxious. i really want this job. i know it's not the most desirable job for many people. basically, i'd be working for the chief medical examiner of the gbi as an entry level investigator, assisting with autopsies, reports, collecting evidence, and the like, all of which freak some people out (as i've witnessed) and wow others, like my good ol' mom. if i don't get the position, then i know i at least have a backup plan with a successful transfer to the booksamillion in lawrenceville, which is like around 10 minutes from where i will be living very soon. nice how those things work out sometimes, huh?

well i've got things to do and people to see since this is now that time of year where ever day is part of the countdown to graduation, so peace. more bloggage later, probably an update on the job situation, but yeah, later.
