Trident, Trident, Trident

Though I assume this is unknown, I have been hoping and finger-crossing for the past several months that I would get this job with Trident Seafoods in their HR department. Today was a bit of good news and bad news. Bad = they filled the HR manager position with someone else. Good = they are looking to fill a newly-created position of HR Director, aka right hand (wo)man to the HR VP. Apparently I am being considered for the latter.

When posed with the question of whether I had a "passion for HR" I found myself stumbling for words. Truth is, I don't know. But what I DO know is that since the Trident position came across my radar, it has been the singularly most exciting job opportunity to cross my path. It has made me realize how much I do like working with the boats and the fishing industry, and how much I like being a part of a company that has such a great culture and core values. Frankly, they could put me in charge of garbage collection and I'd be excited and thrilled, I'm sure. I know it seems like such a departure from law, but one on hand, it's not, and on the other hand, who cares? As long as it's interesting and challenging work, then isn't that precisely why I liked the practice of law? So, finger crossed, y'all!

re-absorbing air

I have this theory that women, or at least a good majority of them, are a lot like a memory foam mattress or pillow when they get into a relationship. We mold, at least somewhat, to our man's life. We take on his interests, his friends, hi pasttimes. It would be immasculating if it were otherwise. And perhaps that's why we hve such a hard tim after a breakup - we are left with more of a void in our lives when something ends. Perhaps this is also why it's so necessary for a woman to be alone to re-find and refill herself following a breakup.

So I'm challenging myself to take some time and reabsorb the air and de-form back to full foam form. I challenge myself to fill my time with things that intrigue, excite, or rejuvinate me. That it how I ended up at a pilates class with a reformer machine. Wow! Loved it! I could feel the deep work of my muscles while they simultaneously lengthened. It was fabulous, and I needed very little stretching afterward since the mucsles were elongating throughout the workout. I hope to keep going, but it's very expensive.

Next on the workout agenda is either swimming or barre classes. :)
