Why no, I haven't come across these yet. Sounds rather...messy. I wear glasses and my immediate thought (besides "ugh! humidity!") was that I would have to be sure to remove them before entering said shops. Who ever thought that humidity might be a luxury? I have to admit that it really isn't as stifling here as it can get in Oklahoma--because of the lack of moisture in the air. Then again, my skin, lips, and hair are shrivelling up as I type. Even Russell drinks massive quantities of water now. I have to fill the dogs' water bowl 2-3 times a day. Madness!
And did I mention the freakish lack of bugs? There are crickets and teeny spiders, but a very noticable dearth of flying critters. I can actually go walking with Russell and the pups at 8:30 or 9:00 at night without fear of becoming some mother-to-be mosquito's main course. When the dogs run out for a late nite poo, I can stand at the open door and not have to bat away moths. It's fantastic!
Not so fantastic is the job search. I hate looking for new jobs. Putting myself out there, having to dress up and be someone I'm not just long enough to get in the door. Bleh. I did online applications yesterday at 5 different places (OMG Bucket just made the NASTIEST poot!), and got one call back from Management Recruiters International. Of course the want me to consider some contract and temp-to-hire positions. I need to spiff up my resume and get it over to them. I hate my resume, but I'm too embarrassed about it to show it to someone for critiqueing (how the hell is that word spelled?). And yet I'll send it to a potential employer? How is that right? I did get a call from GameStop yesterday--they'd seen my resume on Monster and were interested in training me for an ASM or Management position. All well and good, but it was the OKC location! I hadn't changed my resume address to Phoenix yet! The fellow did say that I should check with the local District Manager if I was interested; I'm planning to give him or her a call today.
*sigh*
I really like not working outside the home right now. It will get boring, I know, but for now it is so nice to be able to work on unpacking and cleaning and just being a domestic. How ridiculous does that sound coming from my mouth?? Ha.

I'm really not sure who you are anymore?!? :) Wanting to unpack and do domestic type things...I'm worried. tee hee
For future www.dictionary.com for all those hard to figure out words. It's saved me many a time at work.
(for the record it's critiquing) :)
Can't wait to see your new digs!!
C'mon, tell us about the ~heat~! :)
Job-hunting can wait! Put another way, wouldn't you rather write expressively about the new environment? Give us a dose of your observational skills? Or is the job-search, human-interest story more compelling?
