3000 pageviews and I didn't catch it?

Sun Jan 18, 2009, 11:39 PM
  • Mood: Tired
  • Listening to: the zooming of my PC's fan (the bugger!)
  • Reading: what I can (my eyes are tired!)
  • Watching: the days go by (that was a song, right?)
  • Playing: with destiny
  • Eating: nothing, I finished my ice cream already
  • Drinking: water (boring, I know!)
Title sounds familiar? Well, yeah, last year I posted the same message (though this time I have 1000 extra pageviews). Life is STILL kicking my bum and I STILL don't have time to come to DA (I have exactly 17,099 deviations and 5,379 messages to check out). Which pisses me off because I used to LOVE to come here and see the beautiful things everyone did.

I want to. Seriously. I want to come to DA regularly and check out awesome art, but... I just don't have the time. It sucks but I turn around and it is 2 am. And I'm exhausted!

I am trying to wrap up my work at the university. The pay is no longer a joke, it is an insult... it's 2 hours away each way... and I'm way overqualified for it: so says my boss, her boss and her boss (yeah, that's three levels up). Meanwhile, I'm job searching (which is a B**CH) and trying to wrap my mind around what I want to do in life (ouch! it is one of those moments, yes) because now that I'm back home, I realize what I've always known: down here it is not what you know, it is who you know... and after 12 years in the US I don't know anyone anymore. So... I'm S.O.L. (Sh*t.Outta.Luck).

Everyone here in Buenos Aires seems to be impressed with my resume (well, I have worked for many years and acquired a large amount of qualifications and experience) but ... I'm overqualified. For everything. I even have more degrees than our national minister of education! (That's it! I'm never telling anyone else to go to college! A mind is a terrible thing to waste but so are 2 masters and countless professional development hours!)

So I'm taking a deep breath, telling myself I'll find something related to education that will let me eat and pay for my rent and pay for the bus to go to work (as if I was asking for luxuries!) and continuing on with the search.

But it will be OK. Because if it is not by the year 2010 (I like round numbers) I'm taking my ass back to the US. Hell yeah! I'm giving this country 4 years to show me I can live here (I came back in 2006).

Anyways... this wasn't supposed to be a rant.

It was supposed to be an update about life.

And a thank you for the extra 1000 pageviews.

SO: THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!

No, really... thank you.
*HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS*

:o que velocidad! Me alegra mucho que hayas decidido colaborar :) Ahora mismo subo tu trabajo.

Respecto de tu pregunta debo responder lo que siempre, cuando esa curiosidad surge: No tengo idea :XD: Me he paseado de deviant en deviant a traves de amigos y comentarios... Llegué a lugares que no tenía idea de que existían. Así que debes ser amiga/conocida de algun conocido de algun... y asi infinitamente. Como un espejo reflejándose en un espejo.

Heya, someone wants to use [link] on their forum or website (you can see their comment on the bottom of the pic) but it is up to you whether you want them to use it or not :)

*pounces unexpectedly* Hi sweetheart! It is the coolest to hear from you.

I've been hiding from deviantArt because I am writing a book and I'm so busy with work that I just can't deal with the addiction of spending 3 hours a day in here. I'm having withdrawal pains but your hug made me feel all better.

You love werewolves like me... so... check my sweet lil wuffie out (done by *siekfried ): [link]

Tons of hugs, pretty eyes! :heart:
