I Shall Believe
-Sheryl Crow

Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it’s a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believe
I’m broken in two
And I know you’re on to me
That I only come home
When I’m so all alone
But I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won’t give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe

Open the door
And show me your face tonight
I know it’s true
No one heals me like you
And you hold the key

Never again
would I turn away from you
I’m so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won’t give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe
And I shall believe

sometimes we all need to believe that everything will be ok, even when it seems like everything is looking down. i think that i’ve always felt that everything will be fine, things tend to work themselves out. so i, too, shall believe.

i’ve been having a bummy kind of a day today. strange, because one would think that with the good news of a job and a lens order on the way, one would think that it would be a pretty good day today. especially with the start of a new volleyball team tonight, one would think that it would be a particularly good day. but such is not the case.

maybe it is just the hump day blues. maybe things will look up in a bit. maybe all i need is a little pearl tea. i think i’m going to go out and get some and escape the heat of the summer afternoon.

last week i decided that i would start looking for a job. it’s only been about a month since i resigned my position from the last company and i think that i could still have taken more time off, i am more or less ready to start work again. so i started to send my resume out last week and i got a few responses and set up a few interviews.

i had an interview yesterday and it was scheduled at 10AM. ugh, i thought, an early morning interview! but still, i was able to manage to wake up early enough and get myself over to the company. the company is luckily located in san jose. i have never worked in the same city as where i lived. it was weird for me to live so close to my workplace.

anyway, after a 4 hour interview, i left the office and felt pretty good, but hungry about the interview. it was originally scheduled to be 2.5 hours long and i thought that that was already crazy enough, but i never would have imagined that it would last 4 hours. i don’t think that i’ve ever been through such a long interview.

a few hours later, they made an offer to me.

a few minutes later, i accepted the offer.

i start work on monday. yay! looks like i can finally buy that lens that i’ve been eyeing.
