V is for Victory

Just got off of the phone with the interviewer, and it was a pretty good conversation. He told me he’d like me to come in for an in-person interview with him and members of his team (scary), but that’s one step accomplished! It sounds like it’s a great place to work. There’s an actual team (no more one-man band), with goals, a budget, and a love of analytics. I’m a little bit intimidated at the scope of work; though I know it will be easy once I get going, it’s much different from my current firm, and it will be a bit of culture shock, I’m sure. We’ll see what happens, I guess.

In addition, also under the heading of EXTREMELY EFFING COOL is that when I got done with the interview, I hit up my email inbox and found a letter from the state saying that my application for a curatorial position at the state museum has been accepted, and my qualifications are being reviewed. Perhaps I’ll even be interviewed!

I’m pretty happy right now. Wish I didn’t have to work today so I could keep this high going…

Hello,

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
