Your opportunity will come!<BR/><BR/>I always want to shout when they bring up the inexperience thing. You are so right in that the you need the job to get the exerience, and to get the job you need the experience. You are smart enough to figure any of the jobs out withot the immediate experience.<BR/><BR/>Good luck for the one the lady is leaving-will keep sending the vibes!<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about finances and a&& kickin' ;-)Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788740577135090145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10061220.post-70957925613592574202008-07-18T18:18:00.000-07:002008-07-18T18:18:00.000-07:00Okay, this one requires a comment. I've been look...Okay, this one requires a comment. I've been looking at the pictures of Tay for about a week now but didn't know why they captured me so, until this last photo and something you said.<BR/><BR/>She reminds me of me, back in the day.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I was as angry and defensive looking as she seems, but I was close. The crossed arms, lack of a smile, looking 'put out'.<BR/><BR/>I wasn't any of those things really (except defensive) because I had reason to be. Every time I let my self go.... enjoy something, there was almost always someone who could comment, make fun of me, etc.<BR/>(Remember, I have a cleft palette AND I was overweight.) Things happened to me at school and other places that my parents never knew anything about, and those things had a hand in shaping the woman I am now.<BR/><BR/>The reason the last photo (of sheer joy) is the one that sparked understanding is that Tay is at that moment experiencing life (in spite of herself) the way I always had in me, but always quelled.<BR/><BR/>Looking back, I was so beaten down (by others and my buying into it) that I enjoyed very little. Dating was hard, amusement parks (I wanted to go on all the rides, but....), swimming, almost anything. One reason that Jay is so good for me, is that he unequivocally loves me for me, and has proved it.<BR/><BR/>And, no offense Girl, but your comment about everybody else wearing swimsuits....and, losing the inhibitions she started with~ that could have been written by my mother.<BR/><BR/>I learned early that everyone else 'wearing swim suits' did not make me immune from derision. It's not something you talk about even with your mother, so you avoid the situations.<BR/><BR/>The last photo of Tay says to me that she hasn't lost her inhibitions... she know for a risky moment she's doing what everyone else has been doing, what she's always wanted to do~ be herself and the joy overwhelms the fear.<BR/><BR/>I AM speaking of myself, and Tay just seems to be alot like I was. I hope I'm not out of line in writing this. I would never have left it in a comments section if I weren't sure you read them first.<BR/><BR/>It's just that if Tay IS like I was, I'd like to speak for her a bit. Maybe if someone had spoken for me, a bit more of my life would have been joyful.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089977665165118563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10061220.post-57775387096753622492008-07-17T19:24:00.000-07:002008-07-17T19:24:00.000-07:00I'm first to comment?Sorry about the job.

I think...I'm sorry you didn't get the job....again. I think you are right...if you get in at that branch, then you will be more likely to get it the next time it comes up. <BR/><BR/>Just keep hangin' in there...they can't hold out forever! :)<BR/><BR/>I am so glad to see that you had such a good time on your visit. Poor Tay (and you!)...it looks like she is starting the "teen blahs", where nothing seems to satisfy. Glad to see that you could coax out the little girl for just a little bit....barefoot gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18089017268890241495noreply@blogger.com
