NORM!!!

When Norm walked into Cheers everybody yelled "NORM!" He was a regular.

I had my own norm moment today when I walked into the Thai restaurant that I LOVE. I go to this place every monday that I work in Union City. Today I walked in and the woman who owns the place said, "oooh! You're back!" Yep. I think that qualifies as a Norm moment.

I had some great sessions the past two days. Work continues to be satisfying and fulfilling.

But really, my focus right now is tomorrow's meeting. And really.... I mean, I'm going in there with my ideas and questions and seeing what happens. Maggie and I decided that really, that's all I need to do. I do feel empty handed, like I should be walking in with a program already planned. But the program can't be designed without hearing what the facility wants. I'm getting ahead of myself.

So... as I have been doing each time I walk into this place, I have two sets of hopes:

realistic hope: I am going to walk out with a better idea of what they are looking for in a program AND schedule another meeting to continue talking about it.

reaching hope: I am going to walk out with a job. Don't know what it will look like (contract, part/full time [could you imagine!?]) but it will be a job.

I'd be happy just getting another meeting and continuing the dialogue. We will see what happens!

Send some nice ju-ju!
