On my way home from work this morning I hear on the radio some news that made me chuckle.
It went something like this...
Police in Lafayette County were called to the scene when a sword fighttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifht broke out between two men in one of their residences.
Um, are we serious with this? A SWORD fight??
This obviously reminds me of the warped-zone I grew up in called Erie PA where twice now a full on medieval sword fight was happening on 8th street in Frontier Park. A group of adult males dressed in full medieval costumes...flags and everything.
So in this dangerous world of knights and sword fights, one should always know How to win a Sword Fight. See link:

75 hour work weeks
Since having moved to Pittsburgh, life has been hectic. Unfortunately I drained my savings traveling and have had to really work my ass off to get out from under that debt. I have been sending out application after application in hopes of securing a full time job in the near future. This job market feels impossible. Im either too qualified for a job or under qualified. Having only a masters in Psychology and getting a job feels impossible right now. But I still keep filling out those damn applications...i'm starting to see them in my sleep!
I was able to go back to Turtle Creek and work with the Summer Treatment Program that I worked with 2 years ago. It was an entirely different experience than it was 2 years ago but still very worthwhile.
The rest of the time (when i'm not job hunting), I've been babysitting for 5 other families night and day. Overnights with 1 month olds, late night with a strippers children, day time with a working mom and weekends for parents trying to catch a minute to themselves.
Literally some of these weeks have been 75 hour weeks. Insanity.
Im in the process of working my ass off, re-learning how to live on my own and pay my bills, and figuring out what's next for me.
When I know, you'll know :)
