Putting Things In Perspective

Hrm. My sister's boyfriend just drank a whole bottle of wine and isn't wearing any pants, and he's about to meet her parents for the first time. This makes me LOL quite a bit.
It also makes me feel a little neurotic for stressing out so much about how the floor hasn't been steam-cleaned when the parents are required to love me. And even if I don't keep a disinfected house, I'm totally wearing pants!
That's not even the strangest thing I saw today, either. I went out to my interview with the peeps what work with hydraulics today, right? Their plant is in the industrialwasteland strip mall between Northwest Portland and Jantzen Beach, which is a lot farther than I thought it was. On the way, I passed Portland's Premier Self-Service Auto Wrecking.
!?
You can wreck your own autos? Without supervision? More importantly -- if this is the premier Self-Service Auto Wrecking facility in Portland, does this mean there are perhaps others, and that this might be a booming Portland industry of which I was previously unaware?
I am such a little stressball right now I feel sort of incapable of actually doing anything on my pressing immediate to-do list, and have absolutely no idea what to do with myself. My newest source of stress is the realization that once I manage to find another job, I will actually have to learn another job. Holy crap. Wah. I sort of feel like I need a beach vacation to recover from the job hunt instead of, you know, starting another job. ;)
This entry did not to a whole lot to put things in perspective for me. Perhaps, for that, I will need to get drunk and take off pants?

*hugs* I spent all night making dinner last night and getting the kidlet to bed late. But tonight! Tonight the husband is off to D&D it up with the guys, so I hope to be around on chat later.

that's funny stuff :) both the pants and the auto wrecking! heee!
how'd the interview go??
so, beach...come join me in FL for a few days ;)
also, 'the very plausible state of oregon' = awesome :D
oh! and, you know, your new job might not start immediately so you might have a small break in between the two.
I find pants to be a useful thing to have most of the time.
