conundrums and confusions

as i thought might happen eventually, i was laid off from my job on tuesday morning. the place where i worked isn't selling products like it used to be, so i became a victim of downsizing. i was upset at first, but i got over it a few hours later. yes, there were tears, but i came to the realization that now is the time to find a job that i really want! i went home and applied for four jobs, plus my awesome boyfriend found me another potential. also, next week i might meet with someone who's been in the business for a while that can possibly give me an inside way into an agency. the only problem with that is that it could be in a city that i'm not sure i want to move to. so there's a problem...move away from my boyfriend and friends and move to my family, or stay in the came city as my boyfriend? i really really don't want to move away from my boyfriend, but i wonder if we can make it through a one to two year long distance relationship? that way i could work in the big city for a little while, get some experience, and then get a job in my boyfriend's city at a good agency more easily. but i really don't want to mess up the really great thing we've got going on. i think it might depend on where i get an interview/where i am offered a job. i'm going to try not to worry too much about it right now and just focus on one thing at a time. step one: apply for jobs. (that's where i am) step two: get an interview and wow them. step three: get an offer. in the meantime, i've got severance and unemployment to tie me over. let the hunt begin!

i got a dental implant this morning and my mouth hurts, so i'm going to go eat some tapioca pudding now. yum!
