Dryer 1, Me 0

[lillian13]

Hm. Well, I got one load out of the "fixed" dryer. I now think it's the thermostat. At least it was the load with the towels and the mattress cover.
Honestly, I don't know if I should try to fix it or just start looking for a replacement.

I did get a lot done this weekend, despite feeling really tired and draggy. "Fixed" the dryer, ran a bunch of errands that needed doing, took things to Goodwill, bought bras, cleaned off the coinage I bought last week, bought The World's Best Niece a bottle of vodka for her 21st birthday, cleaned out the car, bought groceries, vacuumed, and now I'm doing laundry.

I wish I would stop feeling tired, even though I work out, would stop aching all the time, stop being randomly depressed. I made the choice to live my life on my own a long time ago, but sometimes living alone, while all your friends got married/involved/had kids really sucks.

And I'm just not looking forward into going in to work any more. I'm really, really tired of what I've been doing. *sigh* I wish I was well-off enough to have a mid-life crisis, quit work, go contemplate my navel, run off and join the Peace Corps, whatever....But I did a random nice thing for a recruiter on my LinkedIn network, and then asked her if she could place someone with my skill set. I'm going to send her my resume and meet with her for lunch this week. Who knows?

Have you checked the UT listings? If you can stand the commute, you might be able to find something that would work for you -- Tech Writer 2 or 3, or a Communications Coordinator position (which sounds admin-ish from the title, but is a writer job that can pay quite well). Depending on the department, the work can be more varied and interesting than what you might find in high-tech.

(Also, it looks like they are hiring again for my old tech-writer position at my previous job -- email me that's at all interesting to you.)

Good luck, I understand about being tired all the time and wondering if there is a better life somewhere else.

You have alot more freedom than I do and I do envy that at times.
