Hello, January.
It's been such a long time since I saw you, and I think we both know that I haven't kept the promises I made last year in your name. Sorry about that.
But this year, I fully intend to last for at least a month before I slack off. At least.
I kid, I kid.
I mean, I've got a job interview today, so that whole "let's get employed" thing is already looking up! Go me! All right, so the interview is in 3 hours and I'm still in my pajamas, checking my various online haunts, but I'm READY. I mean, I've worked at this place before, and I got this interview without even handing a copy of my CV over. I'm... confident.
Confidence has never been my strong point. I'm shy, and more than a little socially awkward (would you believe that most people don't appreciate a complete lack of brain-to-mouth filter?), and far too quick to put myself down. As for accepting praise, well, I tend to go bright red and run away, if I can. Which is why the internet is a good place to start bolstering myself up. You can't run away from the internet. It's just always there. Watching you.
(spooky moment: As I was typing "Watching you", Chris Wolstenholme sang "watch me, 'cause I'm on a mission" at me from iTunes)
So as of today, I am a strong, confident woman, who doesn't need to smoke (Friends reference, anyone?). I don't smoke, by the way. If you're interested. Which of course you will be, because you're reading this. See? CONFIDENCE.
Now, let's get dressed and go get a job. Head up, smile, and own it. After all, it's all in the swagger.
