"The Itchies"

Jordan made a good point in her comment on my last post. She said that I could have gotten "the itchies," as she puts it, as a reaction to stress. I feel like I've experienced a lot of stress during my high school/college career, so I don't know if that could be it. The job search did add just a smidgen to it.

Speaking of the job search and stress, I was asked during one of my interviews how I handle stress. I said something along the lines of, "Well, when I'm at work I usually just work through it. Once I get home, though, I handle stress by . . . well, honestly, . . . I sleep. And I play the piano. That's how I handle stress." I guess I really handle stress by breaking out in "the itchies." Who knew?!

And speaking of interviews and stress and jobs and such, I got the job at Xango. Starting this Monday at 8:30 in the sunshining morning, I will be the IT Coordinator. That's 8:30 to 5:30 every day of the week for the rest of my life. Wish me luck.
