I Am in Such a Great Mood

And I really don't know why.  In the past week a lot has happened, both good and bad.  I have worked four shifts in the bar (good).   I have organized and ran two Dough Raisers for Uno's which brought in good business and landed me a neat commission (also good).  I had an interview at a company that we'll call DEF which did not go that well because three of my five interviewers bailed with no notice or explanation (bad).  So they didn't really get a good idea of my capabilities (also bad).  And they did not bother to reschedule said interviews, but instead decided not to offer me any of the five positions I interviewed for (very bad, very rude, and very discouraging).  I went skiing (good) and the weather today was absolutely gorgeous (very good).  So you can see there has been quite a mix of good and bad events in the past week.  And a lot of frustration towards corporations and the way they treat people.  Yesterday when I received my rejection email, I was very angry, and did a fair bit of crying, and then wrote an email to the DEF telling them how disappointed I was with the way my interview was handled.  Perhaps the email was a bit forward.  I don't expect, and haven't received, a reply.

But despite all of this, I am in a sunny mood.  Probably because I was able to sit outside and read today, which means spring is coming.  Its not here, and the weather is supposed to turn yucky again next week, but spring has left the cave it has been curled up in the past few months, and is slowly making its way up from the Southern Hemisphere and will eventually reach Maryland.  The journey has begun, and that is all I can ask for.  Additionally, I am facing the lovely prospect of spending this evening enjoying $3 margaritas with Megan and Angela, with absolutely nothing to do tomorrow except drive to Queenstown where I will spend the day outside reading, walking around and generally killing time while my father and brother golf, and then will culminate the day with a delicious seafood dinner. 

A few posts ago, I referenced my lack of lust for life.  While I haven't completely regained my sense of self, I have certainly made progress.  I am writing more, I am more than halfway finished Brave New World, I have a social life again, I have exercised multiple times this week, and I am actively applying for jobs once again, because although my confidence in the competency of companies is low, my confidence in myself and my abilities is still moderately high.  And so, I find myself in a great mood, walking around singing that song about being solo.  I don't know who sings it, but it goes a little something like this:

"Nah-nah-nah-nah, can't stop my shine, something-something-something, I'm solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo."

I think you all know the one I mean.  So if you do, could you please tell me how it goes?!?!
