I'm living my life in Los Angeles as a Plus Sized Singleton. I'm getting in shape, embracing my size and non conforming Blonde Barbie SoCal Ideal Beauty. I'm single, cute, funny, witty and smart. I love to talk about fashion, dating, movies, favorite TV shows, music, politics, friends, science fiction, getting in shape and all things geeky.

Keep on moving forward no matter what happens
I'd been with my job for almost 4 years (got good reviews, team player, etc) and all of a sudden my manager called me into her office to say 'it wasn't working'. It threw me for a loop to say the least. She never gave any explanation other than she'd gotten a promotion and needed an assistant with 'different' skill sets. Urghh So I got transferred to another manager as a place setter till I found a new position since I was told I was no longer a good fit for the office. I've to adopt the philosophy 'one door closes .. another opens' since I'm a good employee. Hard worker, team player, no job to small, independent, friendly, professional, smart and LIKES to work. I've decided to take my hobby of social media sites and turn it into a business. I'm in the process of setting up a site, working with a camera team and looking for a photographer for professional photos. I haven't really allowed it to set in since I've been job hunting/creating projects since my last day.

August has had major ups and downs
Well am looking forward to the end of August after leaving my job with Cedars Sinai Medical Center. Am feeling relieved that I'm no longer in my stagnate job and am forcing myself to make the change I've been talking about all year. Sometimes a regular paycheck is almost like a ball and change since it's hard to walk away but you know that the job isn't right for the person you have grown to become.
I had originally thought that I really wanted to work for a hospital but after four years with CSMC I realize it's not the industry for me. I really enjoy working at Amgen a few years ago so I thought that a hospital was a logical progression after working in the pharmaceutical industry but I was wrong.
So I am now looking for a FT job back at Amgen (if I get a job out their I'll move the commute is too hard from LA), with a few of the local Universities/Colleges in the area, Special Event Management and Sales. Onward and upward in my pursuit of a career that will be a great fit for my background and personality.
