I'm on break
Last week was crazy and good, not only for the long-awaited arrival of spring, but also some major changes in my life that I can't really get into much detail about on here. Let's just say I have a lot of spare time, am very happy about it, and that I'm casually looking for a new job. But that doesn't mean I'm in a bind at the moment or that I'm desperate for a job, however. I have a number of irons in the fire already. But I'm still keeping my eyes open for new opportunities and have the luxury of being selective about it. I'm looking for a communications, public affairs or media relations job in a smaller department or nonprofit, preferrably in the environmental field or having something to do with life-sciences. It is important that such a job allow for a full life on the side - my life outside of work is just as important as the forty hours spent at a workplace. The fact that I don't have kids to pick up from soccer practice doesn't mean I don't have something worthwhile to go home to during the week after 6pm. And I'm skilled and experienced enough to make bigger decisions in the workplace, and to have them duly considered as well.
We had a fun match yesterday in DC and a lot of Renegades alumni showed up. So did a bunch of friends - albeit at the last 5 minutes of the match. Umm...thanks. I think a few friends got to see me run 50 yards or so but that was it. There's another opportunity to witness a full match on May 17 (I was not aware of another home match until yesterday). I see there's also the big gay blogger meet in NYC that weekend, AND a Blowoff in DC at the same time! What's a gurl to do? Will someone please invent a reliable teleportation technology that allows me to be in several places on the same day? Thanks.
Homer did a little research for me and found out where my Irish parts came from. The Brennans were from County Kerry. If I have the time when we go to Ireland this June, I hope to give the county a visit.

Change is a good thing, in my experience. Make the most of it.
My most readily traceable Irish ancestors came from Cork, where the family is now a powerful Catholic political presence. My branch, though, came through Ellis Island and were working class Protestants. Therein lies a story, I would imagine, but I suspect it's one that may never come to light.
40 hours. Hmm. Looking for part-time work then, huh? Just kidding.
That's the thing...if your coworkers are working 40 hours, and you're working 60 to get your job done, it ain't right.
Take the time to find what you want - don't get caught up in the mania that is looking for work so that you can rejoin the corporate pack. I did that a couple years back and it led me to the worst job ever. Thankfully I wised up and got into a profession I really love - well I love the kids, No Child Left Behind can suck it!
Just be careful you use some nice moisturizing lube Jimbo, the first few days of unabated meat-smacking could lead to some nasty chafing!
I'd kill to work 40 hours a week this summer...
Good luck in the search.
I gather you wanna stay in the DC area?
Jimbo- You should use this blessed opportunity to get out of DC. I am moving to Seattle in 6 weeks. I made this decision a couple of months ago sitting in my last 2.5 hour commute home (in freezing rain)from the Dulles Tech Corridor to Downtown. In any case, I've been in DC for 9 years, and ready for a big change. Sounds like you are too? I am only upset I didn't do this a year ago.
Dude, you need to come to the blogger get-together. Blowoff's happen frequently. But the blogger weekend is once a year.
you can't blow THAT off!
