Wine and Love: 3

So today I'm doing Wine and Love again, hosted by Suki! Here we talk about the things making us reach for the wine glass (or alcoholic beverage of choice) and the things we love this week!

Wine

  • Didn't get a job I interviewed for. Spent almost a whole day in interviews too. While it was a good experience overall, and looking back it may not have been the best fit, I still can't say I was too pleased to get that news.
  • I'm slowly getting sick. Every morning I can feel my throat aching a little more, and I'm just waiting for it to blossom into a full blown cold. Definitely need to sleep much this weekend.
  • Eaten poorly the last while. Given in to stress/emotional eating a few too many times.

Love

  • I'm feeling a renewed passion for blogging and vlogging. Been reading and watching more and feeling excited, with some new ideas of things to do and maybe some new projects coming up. GFM's been writing some drabbles lately, which has got me thinking about trying my hand at some creative writing as well.
  • I've been trying to walk a bit. I'm aiming for just a short, 10 minute walk every day, just to get moving a little bit. I've also been trying to keep off my phone, mostly, and do a bit of walking meditation. It's nice because it's very hard to say "nah, I don't have time for that." Cause I totally do. Though the weather lately has been the biggest deterrent. But it's been nice.
  • I'm getting a handle on things at work. Saying that may be the kiss of death, of course, but I'm getting there, for now.

What are you loving, and not loving this week?

    Sorry to hear about the job! It just wasn’t meant to be, but don’t give up looking. :)

    Hooray for those short walks. They’ll make a difference!

    Sucks you didn’t get the job, know that some day you will.

    Wine/scotch: Saw a great talk (see below) that made me re-evaluate what I’m doing. Like… look at the value of what I am doing.

    Love: Spent the last three days at a tech conference. Learned and applied coding stuff. Even got to drink scotch in one of the sessions, but boy did I have to earn it.
    Coding successfully. That is awesome.
    Going to municipal political meetings, getting to know stuff. Helping organize a panel series on women in politics. Boy do I enjoy organizing events.
    Saw Aaron Draplin talk at FITC. Never heard of him before. And I don’t know if his brand/persona is slightly exaggerated or if he’s really like that, but I don’t care. I drank the koolaid. He got a fire in my belly and the wheels a-chugging and I will be doing a lot of awesome. So heads up.
    Oh and I learned Dispatch’s The General on the ukulele. And that was awesome.

    You left a comment on my blog mentioning that you didn’t get the job. I really liked that you framed it as a positive thing. You put yourself out there and you had a job interview! Practice! And it’s a numbers game. 1 number down.
