Perfect Timing

I made the decision about which job I was going to keep. (Job #1)

I had my farewell lunch with co-workers from my former job yesterday.

After that lunch, I went to my new job for the afternoon.

Where I found out that next Thursday, 9 or 10 people from the new place will be laid off.

Do you see the irony here?

Wherein Cliches Abound

I registered for classes today. I keep telling everyone that I will be "coasting" to the finish line of this thing called college. I'm taking ONE summer course this year (as opposed to five last year) and will be taking a grand total of 12 credit hours - three of those being an online course (yay for the Internet!).

I'll have a relatively easy go of it until December. Working my internship, volunteering at church and keeping my little family happy and healthy. However, after the curtain goes down on 2009, I may be in a bit of quandary. I've heard rumors straight from the horse's mouth (my wonderful boss) that the powers-that-be LOVE my work and would LOVE to keep me on after graduation - if the budget allows. I've also heard other rumors (straight from another horse's mouth) that people around church LOVE my work and that my volunteering may turn into something more - including something for which I would be paid.

These are purely rumors, but - being the type A that I am - I have begun thinking, planning and worrying already. Silly me - this is still nine months away! So, to take my mind off the future, and to add one more thing to my list, I decided to run a 5K on April 25. I am not a runner. But, for some reason, I decided this would be a good idea. Hmm...

Back to the subject at hand: two possible jobs waiting for me to receive my bachelor's degree. Keeping all involved happy and all options open is very difficult and I'm tired. But, then, I'm always tired...

Updates to follow...
