Luci Interview Update

Right as I sat down to write this, exhaustion decided to set in. It has been a long, emotionally full day. I had my Luci interview today down in Chicago. The day started off bad because the alarm on my crappy Pixel phone decided not to go off. Again. It always decides it wants to do this on the most important day. Last time, it was when Manfred was picking me and Emily up for the airport. The timing literally could not be worse. And the damn thing even says "Upcoming alarm 7:15am" AFTER the fact, then will suddenly say "Missed alarm." Stupid piece of...

Anyway. The interview went really well. I'd say really well (Brandy was like my personal cheerleader and the Executive Creative Director loved me), except for the end kind of messed that up. I asked them to let me know if I was not their candidate of choice and that I couldn't move my start date for my other job, but I could push back my move date; and they all went completely silent. It became really awkward and it ended on that note. Even Brandy, who had been in my corner up until then, became really weird. I don't know if I phrased my request weirdly or if they weren't a fan of what I said. Or maybe they were just processing it. Anyway, it wasn't the best way to end it, but I don't think it would offset everything else in the interview.

I'm optimistic but realize that the time constraints might ultimately fight against me. They may not be ready or willing to make a decision so quickly, and I won't have a choice but to go with plan A.

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - "One Last Kiss" Drinking: Sen cha from Fava Tea Mood: Mellow-ish. Waking up Working on: Adding Crew 11 to the ISS Wall interactive in Atlantis Reading: Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern (audiobook). About to pick up Matilda by Roald Dahl.  Remember when Livejournal used to have the tags at the end where you could add what you were listening to and what your mood was? Mine had little blue kitty icons that went with your mood and were very cute. I miss them. I particularly remember the 'productive' one, where the cat hat glasses on and was tapping on a keyboard. There was also one where it was snoozing and had little 'zzz's above its head.  On a different note, I had never heard this song by Utada Hikaru before (well, apparently I had because I had already "liked" it on Pandora, but I don't remember it), but I really like it. I'm actually repeating it again. It gives old school Utada vibes but apparently came out ...

First January in Orlando

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. For some reason, Blogger (a totally dead platform at this point) gives me “Let’s Go Ride a Bike” vibes - in a good way. Which, by the way, I just Googled and they haven’t touched their blog since 2015. What a shame. I really miss the days of blogs.  Most of my writing has been done in a physical notebook, which in many ways I prefer; but in others, it doesn’t quite quench the thirst. One of the things I love about digital journaling is being able to add images and photos (like the one below). While physical journaling feels more intimate and perhaps, authentic in some ways, digital journaling feels more like a creating a story. Two different methods for two different outcomes.  So why the photo of a plant? Well, first, this is a Monstera plant. I’ve loved it’s lines and the holes in its leaves for years, but I never learned its name because it’s not a native plant to Wisconsin. They are to Florida, however, and are super easy to fin...

Cup grip handspring!

This video is terrible evidence, but I managed to get (and hold! Albeit briefly) my cup grip handspring earlier this week! I've been working on it for... I don't know, maybe 4 months? Before my shoulder injury. I was trying to incorporate it into my training so that I wouldn't have to only rely on twisted grip and because true grip really hurts my wrists (for the record, an article just came out saying how true grip is really bad on your wrists, which is where it hurts me). I found a YouTube video that showed getting into it from chest out, so that's how I've been training. I can't imagine trying to swing kick into it. I've been slowly feeling closer and closer to staying up, and on Monday I was finally able to do it! Seriously, it's amazing because I haven't been able to do any pole for the last 3 months due to my shoulder injury, so how did this happen?? I credit my physical therapist because she's been really working my ass off with som...
