Things have been moving pretty quickly the past two weeks. I did not get the job in Denver, but I went ahead with several interviews in Charlotte, NC. I was very nervous since these were my first interviews since September, but I know things will work out if its meant to be. I discovered a Southern friend from Ft. Collins got a job and moved back to NC this past weekend. Although 2 hours from Charlotte, it would still be nice to know someone out here.
So the first interview, at a company that I though I liked better from the info on their website, was an interesting experience. After madly running around Jazzy Poet's house fixing clothes, make-up, and hair, I arrived to a modest building in downtown Charlotte. I entered the reception area to find three other women in various states of nervousness and varying takes on 'business professional' attire. I quickly realized that this consulting firm was conducting interviews every 15 minutes. Yikes. Soon I was called up by a hiring manager who was probably not more then 7 years older than me. His office was a shrine to his football playing years at the University of Alabama. A proud accomplishment indeed, but with only 2 binders on the bookshelf appearing to have anything to do with work, I became a bit skeptical. I thought the interview went alright, but again he seemed to be in autopilot. I'm sure it was the 40th interview he had conducted that day. After a quick run down of the company and the client, the questions "What are your 3 best attributes?" "Describe yourself in one word." and "What do you like to do for fun?" It was over before I knew it. He said they'd call between 5-7 if they wanted me to come back. I went back to the house and after several nerve wracking hours, no call.
Wednesday brought a new day and a new company. I wasn't so sure about this company because I had trouble getting in touch with them, but I went anyways to chalk it up to more interview experience. I drove to the Northern/University section of Charlotte, and rolled up to a nice clean office building. Riding to the 4th floor, I found the office. This time, there were two guys already in the reception area. One in an oversized suit around 30, and another guy maybe 23. The first guy was in and out in maybe 7 minutes. I thought, oh no, this is going to be just like the last one. While the younger guy was being interviewed (for what seemed like an eternity), I was left alone with the receptionist, who soon began asking me questions about my resume. She was tickled to see I was in a sorority, and we compared our Greek Life experiences, which put me in a better mood. Soon enough the hiring manager called me up. He was a nice chatty guy in his early 40's. After extensively explaining his company, the position (Account Manager for Staples Warehouse Division), and discussing our common hatred of the CU Buffs, he said he really wanted me to come in and shadow one of his best account managers and talk further about my future with his company. He asked when I could be back or was planning on moving there, I said probably not till early August. I know he is planning on opening 4 new offices between now and December, so he said that he wouldn't normally wait a month for someone to come back, but he is always hiring good people. I am to call him as soon as I get in town, and set up the shadowing day. While I have not officially gotten the job, the hiring manager really liked me and it feels like a good fit. As I was leaving, I thanked him and he said "No, you earned it. And you scored major points for being anti-Buffs!!" I'm glad I made a memorable and good impression.
Given these circumstances, and my current financial situation, I have made the decision to move to Charlotte, North Carolina. Pick one and leap. After a year of stagnancy in Boulder, I need a change. Even though sales is not what I see myself doing forever, everything is an opportunity to learn and grow. If the job with Notch works out, they will teach me not only sales, but everything it takes to manage an office (Sales, marketing, HR, accounting, etc.). Knowledge of these things will only help me in future endeavors, whether it be in science or my 'reach dream' of opening my own brewery. Even if this particular job doesn't work out, there seems to be a lot more opportunities here. My 5 year goal is to get to Charleston, SC, which will be much easier to attain to from Charlotte. College of Charleston has a great masters program in Marine Biology, which I would also like to be able to start by 5 years from now. I am taking a small step to get where I want to go, and a job I have to take to be financially responsible. Leaving all my friends in Colorado is going to be very hard, but I took the very same scary leap 5 years ago when I moved to Colorado, so I know I will be OK. I'm very ready to take on this new chapter in my life!
I was watching some Animal Planet (my closest friends have been subjected to many hours of Animal Cops and nature docs, and I thank you for putting up with my love of the AP), so I looked up a quote to use today. Out of all the ones I came across, this one made me smile.

Red Rocks Realizations
I set a goal to blog once a week in May. That didn't happen. Then I said I would blog once a week in June. Failure. Pet-peeve: "Failure" vs. the recently popular phrase "fail". Shall I rant about that? A friend on Facebook posted an awesome link to a blog that went over the complete misuse of the words 'fail' and 'epic' in modern vernacular. Wish I still had that link... look for it if you are so inclined. Anyways, that's not really what's on my mind today. I haven't heard back from the job I applied for in Memphis, and I'm actually OK with that. As I've entertained images of my life back in Memphis, it was familiar and comfortable, but not easy. One big realization occurred when I went to see one of my favorite bands Dispatch at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Looking at the amazing rock formations that dwarfed even the largest of SUVs, it makes you realize how small you are. You are merely a quick visitor to the rocks that have seen thousands of years of people, animals, and seasons. This place is truly special, and reminds me of part of what drew me to the West. I can't believe I lived in Colorado for 5 years before I went to a show there. Shame on me! I was also touched by the band members stopping the show several times to talk about how that had come to Red Rocks while recording their first album in Denver, and saying "One day, we will play here" and the night I saw them "their dream came true." It was cool to hear that even a band that seems larger than life to me, is still just a group of guys chasing their own dreams. It was very inspirational and an amazing concert.
So now I'm back to the drawing board with the whole job situation. The Jazzy Poet lit a bit of fire under me the other day, and I spent the better part of today applying to an array of jobs I'm only remotely interested in, and solely for the pay increase. I applied in Denver, Charlotte, and South Florida. I'm still very conflicted on where to move. I got a call back within the hour from one company, and get this- I applied to the Charlotte office, and they said "We see you are in the Denver area currently, and we are actually calling to talk to you about working there." Maybe this is a sign?? With the deadline of August to get a job here or move, my frenetic anxiety has nearly upped to full blown panic. I've just begun to really meditate and mull the pros and cons. On one hand, Colorado is such a unique place, one which I feel like I've only just begun to explore. I have a network of friends, sisters, and alumni to lean on. I really feel at home here. This is my place. On the other hand, I took a complete leap of faith to move here in the first place, leaving Rhodes and Memphis, everything I'd ever known. And it was actually kinda fun (my father is always quick to recall the intense culture shock and resulting tears and homesickness I encountered my first 4 months or so here). Honestly, I'm a bit bored. But would moving to a completely new state satiate my thirst for adventure, or could a road trip down to Moab do the trick? I suppose I can only pick one and leap. As I'm thinking about this, the words of Jeffery Jensen Arnett echo in my head "we told them as kids they could grow up to do anything, and they believed it..."
I will admit, my quotes usually come from a song that strikes a chord with me while I'm writing, but today I was listening to the debut album from The Backstreet Boys. Anyone who was in middle school in the late 90's understands.... so this post's quote come from Niecy Nash's twitter, which has been tumbling around my head the past 2 days:
"God's delay is not his denial"
Cheers!

My Big Break?
Whew 18 days went by really quickly! Shortly after my last post, I found a great opportunity in Memphis. I applied, contacted my connections there, and now I await anxiously for a response. I don't want to jinx it, so I'm not going to say where or doing what, but I am really excited. It doesn't involved zoology at all, but I feel like its a good fit for now. It would be great pay, travel, meeting lots of new people, and the opportunity to live and work in Midtown Memphis. This job is something that had never crossed my mind. My family has been telling me that the thing that will work out will be the least expected option that will come out of the blue. Could this be it? Please keep your fingers crossed, pray, send good vibes, or whatever works in your experience. I really need this job!
I've been slacking on taking the everyday photos. However, I did take several with the purpose of making them a topic of discussion, and even doctored a photo I call the "Ultimate Boulder Car". Enjoy:
May 11, 2011: Kitchen Creation- spiced up a grilled cheese with turkey, avocado, jalapenos, cilantro, and onion. Super tasty!
May 12, 2011: I could write an entire entry on this one. A Thursday night at the bar Mo Jeaux's in Ft. Collins. This seems to be the typical twenty-something Colorado male. Are you F*CKING kidding me? First of all, sir, you paid $36 to provide free advertising for Monster energy drink. But did you pay? Cause you left the stickers on... You probably spent time perfecting the backwards tilt too. If you're old enough to be in a bar, you're too old to wear your hat like that. And while girls are expected to sport some dressy cleavage flashing top to our fav watering holes, you sir have selected an oversized t-shirt falsely advertising your wealth. So here's to you, Colorado douchebag. After the table of sorority women laughed at you, don't think we didn't noticed that you left alone. Time to step your game up. (Thanks to the Swiss for fake posing so I could snap this shot)
May 13, 2011: The Swiss and I helping our bestie, JKP, move outta the sorority house. I was sore for two days. You're welcome.
May 15, 2011: Yes, in MAY it was 36 degrees, sleeting, and hailing. I can never get used to insane Colorado weather.
May 16, 2011: Checked out the lizards and such at Petco while buying Lola's food. The zoologist side of me just loves these.
May 19, 2011: Really cool bike rack outside O'Dell Brewing Company. They are hops!
May 20, 2011: The Ultimate Boulder car.
May 21, 2011: Outdoor lunch with JKP. She hates eating outside, but took one for the team so I could work on my Chaco tan.
May 22, 2011: Lola being funny watching me. This moment bought a smile and laugh to me. The joy of having a dog!
May 23, 2011: Its just juice....made with real bits of dragon!
May 24, 2011: Got a coup for Lola's favorite treats Zuke's. I pay up for these to support a local Colorado company. They use all natural ingredients, lots of love, and give back to the pet cancer cause. I highly recommend!
May 27, 2011: Best view from the hike I took with the Stats Ninja and Lola. Its so Green!!! Just north of Fort Collins.
May 28, 2011: I finally convinced myself, with the assistance of JKP, to pay up for a manicure. No match for 8 hours of retail. Oh well, It was fun while it lasted.

Geographically Challenged
I'm surprised at the response I've gotten from my previous post. I knew my post had been read many times, but wasn't sure who in my facebook network was actually clicking on my link. I'm glad my readership is growing exponentially! The announcement that I will most likely have to move back to Memphis led to propositions from my extended family in other exciting Southern locales. Jazzy Poet offered up Charlotte as an option. A state with both mountains and ocean? You got me listening... On the other hand, the Detective offered the sunny beaches of South Florida. I do love fresh shrimp, and Everglades ecology is fascinating... I guess the race to find a job in one of these places begins. I applied to 6 jobs in Colorado and North Carolina yesterday, so we'll see how that goes. I'm not optimistic about this apply online business anymore. My grandfather keeps pushing the cold-calling approach of sending a cover letter and resume to companies and hoping for the best. I run into the issue that most entities dealing with wildlife, ecology, animals, zoology, etc. are not businesses. Its government, universities, or NPO's. Zoos don't want you if you don't have prior zoo experience, and contrary to what the Career Center made me think, having slaved away in 100 degrees and 99% humidity at the Memphis Zoo as an intern hasn't gotten me anywhere. As my GRE prep books stare at me from my bookshelf, I am reminded of the option to go back to school...which immediately makes me try to calculate the interest my undergrad loans would accrue over two more years. Nope, not an option right now! Grrr, back to applying for more jobs.
Photos!
May 8, 2011: A video!! This is Lola watching a video of Shiba Inu puppies (yes, a live stream exists on the internets). Lola was so confused by the tiny puppies. Sorry for the Blair Witch style shooting, I was trying not to laugh!
May 9, 2011: I got off work relatively early today, and spent the rest of the beautiful Boulder afternoon in the sunshine with these two.
May 10, 2011: I have always been a fan of ripping off logos for Greek shirts, but this one struck a weird chord with me. Rip off the North Face or even Vineyard Vines. But the delectable New Belgium Brewing? I don't know, Sigma Nu.

Cha Cha Cha Changes
Since my last post, I took time off from work and traveled to visit my family in Memphis. I admit I was a little nervous, since my family is very dramatic. There is never a dull moment with 7 siblings! However, it was a good trip. I appreciate spending time talking to my dad and step mom a lot more now that I am an 'adult'. At least this time I didn't have to defend modern scientific thought and theory to a man that gets paid to argue with people for a living! I think of the line from my tweenage favorite movie Clueless- "Daddy's a litigator. Those are the scariest kind of lawyer. Even Lucy, our maid, is terrified of him. And daddy's so good he gets $500 an hour to fight with people. But he fights with me for free because I'm his daughter" Two out of three of my father's college educated children are scientists, so I'm looking forward to a lifetime of these debates. My geological engineer brother has already begun the biologist vs. geologist debates outside of family gatherings. One day, my father WILL accept climate change! But until then, the debate rages on...
Went to the Beale Street Music festival on Saturday night. It was great to see some of my old Rhodes College friends. Great friends. I feel blessed that I only went to school with them for 1 year, and its still like I never left. Ke$ha on the other hand was a different story. Worst performer I've ever seen!!! I do NOT recommend buying over priced tickets to see her drunkenly drop f bombs and scream into her Auto Tune headset. The Mississippi River was the highest I've ever seen, and has since flooded the very ground I stood upon to subject myself to Ke$ha's 'music'. I kind of wish I had been able to stick around and see how far it gets. The flooding is set to break records set in 1937! In other Memphis news, the Memphis Grizzlies, the city's newest bandwagon phenomenon, is plowing through the NBA finals. I admit, I will wear my one Grizzlies T to work if they make it to the finals.
Upon my return to Colorado, I was struck with a thought "What am I doing? I'm not heading back to school. I miss the south, and my family and friends there. I'm going back to a crappy job. I can't even pay my bills." So I've talked it over with the parents, and it looks like I'm going to follow the path of my generation and move back home and get a job off my/their hometown connections. I knew when I wrote in my first post that I'd never move home, I would probably have to eat those words. Looks like now is that time..well in the next 6 weeks. Unless I miraculously get a promotion at WF or one of the jobs I've applied to comes through, I'll be returning to the dirty dirty this summer. I have mixed emotions about this move. I love Colorado, and especially love summer in Ft. Collins (best friends, Horsetooth, Brewfest, bike rides, Old Town, Bark & Bluegrass fest, camping, awesome weather). On the other hand, this trip made me realize that Memphis will always be home, and I miss my family, trees, Southern manners, Southern people, Beale street, my Memphis friends, and rivers/lakes. Everywhere has its pros and cons. I've been forced to face the harsh reality that with my current job, I cannot afford all my bills- mainly rent and my horrendous student loan payments. If I go home and get some office job, I can pay my bills for the next year or two, and then look into grad schools. I will miss my Colorado friends so much it will hurt. But I gotta do what I gotta do. Still keeping my fingers crossed for a call back in CO until then. I won't move to Memphis until I have a job lined up, so I will let yall know when that is. If anyone has any jobs leads anywhere, let me know!!

April 21, 2011: A raven on the WalMart sign. To me, this represents my area of biological interest: human-wildlife conflict, ecology, and wildlife conservation.
April 22, 2011: Hanging out at Road 31 in Ft. Collins with some KD sisters. Road has great beer prices!
April 23, 2011: Took Lola to the dog park in Ft. Collins, and got the BEST soy chai (choi) at Dazbog coffee.
April 24, 2011: a daily double! Lola begging at the table during Easter dinner. Second, Easter egg Oreo balls. So delicious!!!
April 25, 2011: Rocky Mountain Regional president, Will Paradise. This guy always wears shorts, rain shine, snow or sleet.
April 26, 2011: Pet Peeve- massive brand logos on cars in Colorado. This is an epidemic in CO. If you have a massive logo sticker on your car, you should at least be getting paid for the advertising!
April 27, 2011: Whole Foods cookout. Tasty free lunch for team member appreciation week.
April 28, 2011: Flying into Nashville. It is so GREEN!!! I miss trees... Had to secretly take this photo over the guy sitting next to me. I felt like such a tourist!
April 29, 2011: FINALLY got to see my brother Artem dance. I had heard how good he was, but had never seen for myself. He is awesome! He does ballet, martial arts, and martial arts inspired dance.
April 30, 2011: Beale Street Music Fest crowds. The photo I took from the Ke$ha concert is trapped on my old phone!
May 1, 2011: Inside the famous Silky O'Sullivan's where my brother Aleks works. A CSU flag!!!!! This makes me so happy!!!! Go Rams!
May 2, 2011: Trapped at the farm house because we missed the flight from Nashville. Bored with no TV or Internet. One thing I like about myself is my eyelashes. I get many compliments on them.
May 3, 2011: Another daily double! Jamie's makeshift finals study desk on the plane. Second, I see mountains!!! Hello Rockies, I've missed you.
May 4, 2011: Lola longingly looking out the window for the Stats Ninja. The SJ watched Lola while I was gone, and she loves him probably as much as she loves me.
May 5, 2011: My addiction is on sale at WFs!!! These are normally $3, but with the sale and my discount, they are just a buck!!! Definitely buying a case or two before they go off sale. If you haven't tried coconut juice or water, do it! Its like natural Gatorade. All the hydration, no refined sugar or artificial dyes. Just 100% pure coconut juice :) nature does it better.
May 6, 2011: The Mississippi River overtaking the Pyramid. This is the parking lot, and I stood on dry ground just 100 yards away 6 days prior. They don't call it the Mighty Mississippi for nothin.
May 7, 2010: This week's 1 day sale was MSC certified wild caught Salmon. I made an Asian marinade I got from the Food Network, and cooked it out on the grill. So delicious and under $4.
Well that wraps it up for this week. Congrats out to all the graduates this weekend, and happy mother's day to all the mommas!

Death of a Pickle Thrower
Tonight I had a "see ya later" dinner with one of my best CSU friends, Tanja. After 25 years in Colorado, my dear friend is moving up to the next box shaped state to be with her cowboy (Cue cowboy take me away) Tanja was one of my first friends in Kappa Delta, way back in 2006. She let me sleep in her bunk bed (Ahh the old KD bunk beds!) when my awful roomie was too much to handle, took me to her house for my first Easter away from home, listened when I was homesick, introduced me to The Sundance, was my roomie in the KD house (room 9 aka CrunkFest), Roomie in the Crunk Castle, haver of many shenanigans, never got mad that I (with the help of a abnormally tall curb) broke her ankle on my 21st birthday, inspired me to study when I wouldn't have otherwise, giver of Biochem notes, Reno911! lover, and all around great friend. Through all our ups and downs, we always got over our differences and I know I can count on her. Tanja- enjoy Wyoming, and me and Lola will visit you and Baxter soon! For those of you who didn't know, Baxter is Tanja's black lab. He and Lola met in August and instantly hit it off. They have enjoyed many dog park dates and shared bones. Lola is very sad that Baxter is moving away, but decided not to pursue a long distance relationship. Anyways, here are some pictures of the past 4 years. Don't worry Tanj, I didn't include any that would haunt you if you decide to run for mayor of Story, Wyoming.
Best of Luck in your new adventure!!

"Emerging Adulthood"
According to this psychologist, my generation is in a new life stage called 'emerging adulthood.' Very interesting, especially in regards to the generational difference between us and our parents and grandparents. 30 is the new 20. A bit of my anxiety is quelled for the evening knowing that I am not the only one in this weird stage!
Cheers.
