If naught else, a laugh.

Wish me luck! I've applied for a job that should give somebody a laugh, if nothing else. One of the restaurants in town is looking for an assistant manager, and I haven't been having luck with anything else, so I applied for it. We'll see what happens.

Beaver Creek Culinary Classic

I volunteered to help with the Grand Tasting tonight, and had one hell of a blast! There was a ton of excellent food to be had (also some, reportedly, great drinks, but I had to drive home so drinking was a no-go for me tonight), I got to meet a bunch of chefs from across the country, and I got to work with a truly awesome (and nationally, possibly even internationally, known) chef, Jose Garces. I was feeling down this morning because of  the bad news in my job search, but I am definitely in a good mood tonight!

Another Job Down

I finally received word last night on the status of that job for which I had such a good interview. They decided to hire for another position entirely, leaving me out in the cold. Wonderful. That was a great job that I know well, and would have been a great boon. Alas, I can't have things actually be easy and go right for a change. No, I'm stuck fighting for every inch of ground I can get.

Waiting can be such a killer.

This past Sunday, as I mentioned, I had a very good job interview for a job I would desperately love to have. Well... I'm still stuck here waiting. They said they'd make a decision some time this week and contact me to tell me how things will fall, but nothing so far. Hopefully I'll hear from them soon.


One piece of excellent news, though, is that I finally heard back from the Speech Therapy Department at CU Boulder, and they do have a program for helping transsexuals with voice therapy. I'm going to call them again and get more info.

No other news except that work is continuing on my cookbook, and I may try an inquiry letter or two to publishers soon. I'm hoping to have this on shelves by early next year, but we'll see (we'll see if any publishers will even want it...).

Well, color me surprised.

I just recently got blood work done by my endocrinologist, and I'm not surprised at the results at all. My testosterone levels were too high yet again, and my anti-androgen dosage has been raised from 200mg a day to 300mg a day. I had suspected this beforehand, and I told her about my suspicions. I kind of wish she had been right, and I was just jumping as shadows, but things didn't work out that way. Hopefully this dosage will be the right one, but we'll see.

Ideas are dangerous things.

At least they tend to be in my hands, but I like this one: I'm going to write a cookbook. That's all. Nothing Earth-shattering, but what in this blog is?

A good day.

Today has been a good day. I got a few things done before heading off to the interview I had scheduled, but the main cause of my happiness right now is the interview itself. I feel that it went very well. I wasn't offered the job yet, as they have several other candidates, but overall I feel I did very well in the interview. Not to mention the fact that I got lucky yet again when I told them of my being transgendered, and got more support. So, yes, today has been good.
