It satisfies my soul...

So, I've got a job that will span from Dec. 17 to Jan. 16. Answering phones. Three years at Wesleyan paying off. My father tells me that I need to get "hungry for it". I'm not sure I know what he means nor what he's implying. I guess what it comes down to is that I simply don't know what to do. My resume' is at a place that I think it adequately conveys what I've done and what I can do. Additionally, doing more to pad my resume' further would involve classes and certifications that I simply cannot pay for. The image I have of an employer looking at my resume' has them turning it this way and that as if trying to make sense of a language that is almost there own, then giving up and tossing it.

On the upside, Miranda is on a precipice. Her gross motor skills are improving. She has a drive to walk, but just needs that extra umph to use it as a primary mode of transportation. She can move quite well if she has something to support her and has taken numerous steps unassisted, but she just can't quite keep her hips centered. Additionally, her vocal skills are taking off. She "bah, bah, bahs" quite well, and is beginning to add "da, da, da" to her vocabulary. She also vocalizes at the dogs barking and does a "Huh" or "Hai" sound at uncannily appropriate times.

She also enjoys just sitting next to her toy box pulling stuff out, inspecting it, then discarding it and moving onto the next thing. It's very sweet to watch.
