Every picture tells a story, don't it?

First off, I want to follow up on Tuesday's post about my personal growth plan. I wasn't sure how I could execute my 4th goal, but shortly after I posted the light bulb went off. From now on, I will "tweet" (That's Twitter-speak for posting a Twitter comment) 1 thing each day for which I am grateful. Tah-dah a measureable tactic! I'm telling you, social media has my mental wheels a-turnin'.

Ok, so this post is a new segment I'm trying out. Note: The title refers to a Rod Stewart song, also featured on the Almost Famous soundtrack--loves.

Today's feature:

Summer 2006

I'm not exactly sure what possessed me to put up this embarrassing photo. My mother made me take this before I went for an internship interview at a PR agency in San Francisco. (I was living at home for the summer after a quick change of plans). Unfortunately, I didn't get the job, but it's funny to see where your career path takes you. For me, it took me from being a runner at a law firm (contemplating law school) to an intern at a Birmingham boutique PR agency to an intern at Coastal Living and Cottage Living magazines--at this point I was worried I'd forever be an intern--to finally landing a "big girl" job at an ad/PR agency in Birmingham. It was often times frustrating and I definitely felt like I was having a quarter-life crisis, but now things are soooo much better. It's good to be a working gal. On that note, I think I'll let Dolly Parton wrap things up...

Workin' nine to five
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
