Through the Looking Glass
Thu Jan 09 2003

There’s a strange woman living at my house.

She lives in all the mirrors. Every time I walk by one, there she is, scaring the wits out of me. I wonder if this situation has anything to do with the fact that I got my hair cut really short yesterday. (That’s when she moved in ) Perhaps I should not be alarmed and just try to make friends with her. After all, she can’t get OUT of the mirror do you think ? But on the other hand, Alice went through the looking glass, but everyone tells me that has something to do with drugs and I don’t do drugs. Of course it is possible that the woman in the mirror does drugs. Do you buy that story about Lewis Carroll ? I always thought it was sort of a goofy theory. But I have been known to be wrong . . .from time to time.

Anyway, I find I am having writer’s block. I think I must have caught it from a couple of people I met on dear diary. At least that is what I am blaming it on at the moment. Gotta be careful who you hang out with even in cyberspace :-)

Actually to be more honest, I am becoming preoccupied with thoughts of job hunting. I don’t know where to begin, because I don’t know what job I want. It would help a lot if I could determine that little bit of information. Eliminates a lot of running around and hemming and hawing where other people have to watch me doing it. I will hem and haw at home till I figure it out.

In my dream world, I want to work at “The Little Shop Around the Corner”
from that movie “You’ve got mail”… but then again, that might not be such a good idea. They had to close it because of the big bookstore around the OTHER corner. (Sound familiar R. ?) Big fish swallowing little fish. I suppose we should not be surprised.

So I am a bundle of uncertainties and insecurities today. Maybe I will consult that woman in the mirror. She looks intelligent enough. . .
But boy does she have short hair !

Hmmmmm . . . I wonder.

Nah, couldn’t be.

    I got my hair cut today. Didn't know I had so much curl!

    Unsure about job hunting? Try one of the temporary agencies. Some of them will even test you to find out where your interests and talents lie. I went out on a temp job and ended up being hired permanently for a position that opened while I was temping.

    Lol, that's funny that feeling that you're looking at a stranger in the mirror. I know how absorbing job hunting can be. Hope you find the ideal job. Maybe it is just around the corner. ;-)

    Morning Yetzirah! I chuckled away at your part about the "mirror people" they scare me too! Wow you had that dramatic a haircut, I have a pathological fear of hairdressers so I'm mighty impressed by this.

    Temp agencies can be quite good for all of the reasons the other comments said. *Sigh* I wanted to work in that little bookstore too, have you seen the original film of Little Shop on The Corner (original title) it's great it has Jimmy Stewart in it. Good luck with job hunting...

    PS If this is you with "writer's block" I'm deeply envious and intimidated!
