I'm not gonna lie, it's been a hectic couple of weeks.
Firstly, I have felt like crap for the last 6 days. Migraine, tired, moody...hungry. Pregnant, you ask? Doubt it. I believe it has to do with this...infection?...yes, lets call it an infection for now, that I'm fighting. The antibiotics that I was given worked slightly, but after treatment was finished things started back up again. So, until we know more, I am chalking up all these problems to my body working overtime to get rid of the unknown issue that I'm having.
In other news, I've had some great job interviews. But again, I am no longer getting hopes up. Just rocking the interviews and hoping that someone else doesn't rock theirs better.
There is a lot on my mind, but I'm not yet ready to share it. So for now, you will just have to wait a bit longer.

A New Assignment
So it has come to the attention of many (myself included) that I need something to do. The job hunt is frustrating me and is starting to pull my confidence down a bit. It was suggested maybe I step back from that and try volunteering somewhere for a bit. Get my mind and body moving with something, even if that something doesn't pay.
I thought about it...I looked for opportunities within the city. Some were interesting, but none really struck me as something I would enjoy. However, one day while I was reading the ramblings of my fellow bloggers, I followed a link to one writers Examiner page. She just happened to be the Video Game Examiner for the site. And she told me to check things out, as there might be something I was interested in. I was curious to what this was all about...this was the first time I had visited this place. But it was quite clear that it is a popular place to go.
It is a dominatly US site, but I was curious at the "Write for Us" label and took a peek. Turns out they are expanding a Canadian Edition of the site and are still filling positions. In a "What the Heck" moment, I sent in my experience in the gaming community and a sample of writing.
Yesterday, they emailed me an offer to write for them! I believe this will fill my time quite nicely. I am filling in the position for Girl Gamer...meaning I get to write gaming articles on whatever my choosing, but giving them from a female perspective. I will be set up within the week, so today will be spent getting a bio ready and sending in the info that is needed for them to set up my access.
