Goodbye November

I am saying goodbye to November with some flowers, which are a welcome sight and thought on a cold day like today. Today was a long day. I had a "hearing" to discuss whether or not I should get funding to go to San Francisco for my conference. I really want to go! I find out tomorrow morning. If I don't get the money, I will go home to Massachusetts, which is not a bad alternative at all.
Then I found out that I didn't get the job I interviewed for. The email was really nice, though. He explained that I would fit in more with a larger big oil company. But honestly, many corporate culture isn't for me. For some reason, I felt relieved while reading the email. I felt disappointment, too, but its more so because I feel I am letting people down. There is still Exxon though, and other options such as teaching programs and the Peace Corps out there, so if anything I have a world of options to consider now.

My cat has been doing something silly lately. She will sit or lay at the very edge of a surface. Then she will fall asleep. This sometimes leads to her falling off. In the picture, she is starting to fall off of the table. Such a silly cat. I have declared that when I move out and get a job, I am taking the cat with me (and chinchilla, too!). I am definately more of a cat person. They are independent and love their alone time, but they love cuddling and affection, too. They remind me of myself, because I get very antsy if I don't get my alone time. But I also get antsy if I don't get my required hugs and kisses.

Hopefully you had a good November, but I hope December is even more fantastic.
