Jobba Jobba Jobba!

Boy Howdy!

Just back in town from a wonderful trip out of the country, and I cannot wait for that summer sun to catch up to the tropical warmth still running in my veins! But that warm and lingering tan aside *sigh* it is time to find a job! So if you are too busy to read anything but the most personal murmurings of heartstrings blogs, then you can skip this one.

Aside from my usual hunting, I thought I would also put out my feelers into the tribe community, especially considering that probably half of the jobs that I have had in my life were through friendly referrals. So, perhaps one of you wonderful individuals might need somebody like me in your place of work!

Here is the lowdown:

I am a great worker. I know this may sound like tooting my own horn, but I can sincerely say that nobody that has ever hired me was happy to see me go. I am a fast learner, and I enjoy being busy and challenged. I really strive to be excellent at whatever I do, and this is reflected in any job that I have.

I have had experience in retail, in landscape maintenance, in cafe service and management, in performance, and in office administration and reception (for a travel company and at a law firm).

I have experience in customer service, both over the phone and in person, and can handle high call volume environments. I am excellent at multitasking, and have a very strong attention to detail. I work well both with or without supervision, and always try to refine processes to make them more efficient and effective in any job situation. I can dress and act professionally if necessary to be the first face that clients see when coming to a business.

I can work on both PCs and Macs, and have some working knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash. I am currently attending school for my bachelor's in New Media, which is essentially a classic design degree that also includes a working knowledge of all of the programs and processes needed to apply design knowledge in both printed and digital media.

I am looking for a part time-full time job, most likely part time until the semester ends in late May. I am hoping to find something in the financial district area of SF, as I am in school at the Academy of Art which is right in the thick of it on New Montgomery.

I am able to work Mon-Thurs: Mon & Weds I can work from the am (flexible) until about 2:30, and Tuesday and Thursday I am completely flexible. I am hoping to find something that I can transition to full time when the summer session begins, and continue on when the fall semester begins with perhaps only slightly reduced hours.

Soooooo....

If you think I may be able to fill a sadly vacant spot, or if you know anyone who might need someone like me, you can post here or send me a pm, and I can either give you my up to date resume, or get directly in contact with the powers that be!

Cheers!

Ah the unfathomable measure of perspective. It is certainly impossible to see the future, but here is an amazing look at this moment in time, and this one...and this one....

"Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed." -Blaise Pascal

"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change." -Buddha

"Awe is the salve that will heal our eyes." -Rumi

"Could you just shut up and eat the peach?" -R.M.C.

Horoscopes for a rainy day...

These horoscopes are sent with my love to each and every one of your puzzled minds, your luminous potentials, and your beautiful souls and hearts.

oh, and hot damn Sag! Sounds like you are gonna have a good week...

From Rob Brezny...

"You have everything you need in the present situation to work with
impeccability. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't work toward
manifesting additional resources and opportunities. It does mean that the
present situation supplies you with everything you need to take the next
step."

- Jonathan Zap, "A Guide to the Perplexed Interdimensional Traveler"

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Wind Horse is a mythical creature in
Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Symbolizing vigorous life force, it embodies
the quick, cleansing power of the wind and the primal vitality of the horse.
In accordance with your astrological omens, Capricorn, I nominate this
archetype to be your ruling metaphor in the coming weeks. Visualize
yourself being accompanied by a Wind Horse everywhere you go. See
yourself riding it, feeding it, playing with it. Call on its inspiring presence
as you align yourself with the natural beneficence of the universe. Ask it
to help you sweep obstacles out of the way as you attract a flow of
opportunities to open your mind and heart.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This will be an excellent week for you to buy
$50 worth of silence. And to hang around people who won't try to coax
you or manipulate you into doing anything. And to wander out into a
barren wilderness -- the Mars-like landscape of the crater near the summit
of Maui's Mt. Haleakala would be ideal -- and howl wordless, senseless,
empty-headed melodies to a god who may or may not exist. Do you catch
my drift, Aquarius? You are likely to attract cosmic luck and generate
useful serendipity if you can achieve a state that combines Zen
Buddhism's "beginner's mind" with the attitude Henry Miller enjoyed when
he said, "I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man
alive."

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "The stars would love to influence your
future," reported a horoscope for Pisces in *The Onion* newspaper, "but
they are powerless against your well-established patterns of behavior."
While this might sometimes be an accurate statement, it's not true now.
The next three weeks will be a very favorable time for you to escape well-
established patterns of behavior, especially the ones that are no damn
good for you. Here's a bonus perk: You will also have marked success if
you not only rebel against your habits but also against the stars'
influence. The upshot of all this good news is that you'll be in prime time
to unleash your freest free will.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): "My calling hasn't called yet," wrote Rennie, an
Aries reader from Austin. "Please, Rob, say a prayer to all the applicable
gods and angels, asking them to do whatever it takes to make sure that I
am at home when it finally does." I've got good news for Rennie. Many
Aries who have never before had a hint about their calling will be able to
gather many clues in 2008. Meanwhile, those of your tribe who have
already found their higher purpose will be evolving it to a much deeper
level. To help ensure that all the magic unfolds, I have unleashed a fist-
pumping prayer to the goddess of mission plans, urging her to invite you
Rams to claim the empowering joy that comes from being united with
your source code.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The longest waves on the planet unfurl in the
place where the Atlantic Ocean flows into the mouth of the Amazon River.
The phenomenon is called the "pororoca" (from a word meaning
"tumultuous noise"), and has become a favorite challenge for surfers. In
2003, a Brazilian daredevil named Picuruta Salazar rode a single wave for
37 minutes, gliding and plowing for almost eight miles. Judging from your
current astrological omens, Taurus, I'd say that's an apt metaphor for the
kind of wave you now have the chance to jump on. If you choose to give
it a whirl, don't plan for a short sweet burst of adrenaline. Be ready for a
long, rollicking balancing act.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): This is a very favorable time to discover what
has been hidden from you, to strip away disguises, and to penetrate to
the real story that has been buried by the official propaganda. You're also
likely to generate luck if you go in search of buried treasure, lost keys,
and missing links. To help you achieve success in these noble if
sometimes stealthy goals, keep in mind the advice of inventor George
Washington Carver: "Anything will give up its secrets if you love it
enough."

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mirrors can be powerful tools and useful
symbols for you in the coming days. When is the last time you gazed
serenely into your own eyes for at least ten minutes? Try it! If you're
brave, go on from there: Actually talk to the interesting creature you see
reflected back at you. Ask questions. Give advice. Sing songs. And if
you're even braver, move on to the next project: Bring a friend or loved
one to the mirror, and converse with each other's images. Tell each other
the kinds of raw, shimmering truths that can only be revealed in a mirror.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): At the Plow & Hearth stores, you can buy realistic
boulders "to disguise your yard problems." These gigantic plastic
monstrosities, which sell for $90, are hollow inside and fit right over the
pipes, holes, and other eyesores you want to hide. In the coming days,
Leo, you might want to consider acquiring a metaphorical version of this
item. There's a big old messy place in your kingdom that seems to be
getting bigger and messier. It's high time to either conceal it or clean it
up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The U.K. newspaper *The Independent*
reports that avid reader Mark Bastable consumed the collected works of
D.H. Lawrence and found "not a single laugh, not a wry chuckle, not even
a quiet grin in the entire po-faced oeuvre." If that's true, I say we put an
asterisk on the covers of his books, similar to the mark that will go on the
home run record of the allegedly steroid-enhanced baseball star Barry
Bonds. In D.H.'s case, the asterisk will denote that he won a place in the
literature hall of fame despite having never expressed the second-most
essential human emotion. In any case, Virgo, don't you dare read
Lawrence in the next four weeks. You need to be surrounded by
influences that will encourage you to look for humor and amusement in
every single thing you do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 15 million years, Los Angeles will be a suburb
of San Francisco. It will take that long for the constant slipping of the San
Andreas Fault to push the southern city 400 miles north. That will be
lucky for the people alive then, since they won't have to travel far to
enjoy the distinctive pleasures of two of the West Coast's finest cultural
centers. In your case, Libra, you don't have to wait so long. I predict that
two of your personal centers of gravity will combine by the end of 2008.
Your divided sense of home will disappear, allowing you to feel more
united than you've been in years.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Why does human anatomy include the organ
known as the appendix? For centuries, doctors have been unable to
determine its purpose. Most have decided it's unnecessary, a vestigial
structure left over from an earlier stage of evolution. But recent research
suggests the conventional wisdom has to be revised. In fact, the appendix
seems to protect and regenerate the good bacteria that live in the
intestines. I predict that you're on the verge of a metaphorically
comparable discovery, Scorpio. Something you have always considered to
be useless or irrelevant will reveal its value.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Astronomers say that the Sagittarius
Galaxy is being devoured by our own galaxy. It's getting stretched,
rearranged, and assimilated by our massive gravity. I'd like to offer up this
scenario as a metaphor for you to put into play in the coming week,
Sagittarius. Imagine all the fun and interesting ways that you yourself
could be "eaten." Maybe you could get absorbed into an exciting social
scene, or be integrated into an institution you love, or become part of a
movement you've admired from afar. And maybe you could simply do
what's necessary to get yourself kissed, licked, and sucked all over.
