Current Tunage: Dashboard Confessional – These Bones
This just in, The Shade of Poison Trees is the best record so far this fall. A return to “form” of sorts for our beloved Chris Carabba. Mostly just him and his guitar, which is rather refreshing after his forays into Americana and rock over the past few records. My early thoughts are that this is certainly some classic Dash.

This morning I’ve been working at my Resume. Which is to say, this past month I’ve been doing everything conceivable to not have to work on my resume. Admittedly, things have been busy… between TCF and fall retreat and thanksgiving long weekend and carving as much time out for Steph as possible… it hasn’t been difficult to put it off. BUT. But it needs to get done. As soon as possible.

I’ve always hated looking for work. There’s a kind of false pride in me that hates having to talk myself up to other people in interviews; hates having to log all my myriad (hah) accomplishments for all to read; hates having no income and loves having so much so-called “free time”.

I guess the bottom line at this moment is as follows: I can’t afford to keep putting this off. I need income… there’s tuition to be paid in January and God-knows-what-else in the year to come. I can’t afford to put it off, but even at this very instant, it’s the thing I want to do least. I *hate* job hunting.

Supplications on my behalf being accepted at any given moment. Thanks, friends.
