Who is Anita?...
Anita is a modern woman.
She is a dreamer, an artist, and a poet that constantly lives in her imagination. Hopes to travel to meet somewhat poetic minds.
Interests include music, photography, culture.
Occasional melancholic account of getting by as a lonely single woman who is overwhelmed by a big city and tales of her deterred efforts to climb the socio-corporate ladder.
Interests: Moved to the Atlanta Midtown area. Quite enjoying what it feels like to live in the city and be close, literally close to the city and so far away from anything resembling suburbian life. With that trying to develop new interests, like
coffeehouses, the best Starbucks, poetry readings, vintage stores, and "boutique-ing". I am still hoping on a career in international law so I suppose being close to the city helps, to experience whatever culture there is.
Reading: I actually have a Master's Degree. No Shit! The Degree sits in my cabinet with my undergraduate degree and law school certificate handed to me by the Supreme Court. None of them are framed. Why bother! That's just how I feel about it - all that work and
no payoff. STILL NO PAYOFF. THE UN CAREER EVADES ME.
Listening: I just got Gavin DeGraw's new CD, aptly titled Gavin DeGraw. It is so not good. He just ruined the songs compared to hearing them live. Also, Sara Bareilles' Little Voice. The first song I responded to this year was "Love Song." And since then I became a fan. Her CD is a valiant effort, reminds me of Toby Lightman. Very moody, over-produced girly pop.
Watched: Just saw Keanu in Street Kings. Very Blah on everything except Keanu. He delivered a very controlled performance, more than I can say for Forest Whitaker. Seeing him with controlled rage on film is such a huge payoff for an Keanu fan. Too bad people didn't respond as well to the movie. Just saw Little Children on cable. Very amazing, factual, and in-your-face type of movie. It reminded me of American Beauty. Kate Winslet
is a gem when she's in her element.

Things have improved considerably --- and now I am in a quandary situation.
I need a little input with a decision I have been teetering with.
For the past couple of months, I have been unemployed, desperately searching for an opportunity. And then, I got two job offers at a time. They are both as contract specialists, one is with software and the other is in commercial finance. One pays 5K more than the other with no overtime amd the other one has the possibility of overtime.
At present I dont know what to do. I accepted both positions and I am currently waiting to "supposedly" start one next month and currently working with one. But I have to make my decision by the end of next week so I can break it to the company gently and give them enough time to recruit a replacement. I have been told to write down pros and cons and figure what pros outweigh the cons. My mind is swayed towards the position in commercial finance because I am getting a business law degree and it sort of ties into it and software is a little technical for me. However software is also a very good/thriving industry to work in as a paralegal, as we all know.
I have also tried researching the companies. But it's basically cookie cutter information. No insider tips as in what it feels like to work there, company politics, managerial style, etc. Are there other ways of obtaining this information?
So that's where we stand. There is more to it I suppose, I don't know if anyone is interested in hearing my jibber-jabber. Please help. You can ask me any questions that would help you analyze the situation.
