This image came up among many in my usual Internet search for the perfect blog picture. The words "Remember Everything" scrawled in blood are reminiscent of a teen slasher horror movie, which sets the right tone, and they seem like a fitting message for someone who will never forget or forgive.
Perhaps it isn't blood in the picture, but I'm gonna say it is.
By coincidence, I have an interview scheduled Monday for a position that is very similar to the one I held at Farmers. I will hold off divulging too many details for now, but it is a manager position at an insurance company, so definitely something I can do. A year later, I suppose that I am psychologically prepared to go back to that world. Truth be told, I would actually prefer the six-month contracting position I was referred to earlier in the week, but Jackie would prefer the permanent position, and that one is actually progressing whereas the other has gone quiet (which generally means they rejected my resume), and the permanent position is permanent, pays better, has better benefits and is much more likely to secure our retirement, so maybe it's not so bad. Anyway, I think one thing I have learned is that every job is temporary. Some assignments just last longer than others.
A lot happens in a year. My niece got married, Jarrod and I went to California, Lucas and I went to Boston, Lucas and Jackie went to Ohio and Oklahoma and Texas, we got a new dog, the cat died, Jackie got a job, Lucas applied for college, we changed health insurance three times, and I worked at two consulting jobs. Obama got re-elected. I'm sure I am forgetting a lot of stuff. So much for remembering everything.
Anyway, it has been a better year than the one before, or the one before that. It's worth a little celebrating.
