Someday

The heroine in this story is now sitting at home, unemployed but hopeful.


About two weeks ago, my stint at Mt Hope ended. It was great being a teacher, but it was time to move on. And thus I find myself unemployed (Well except a part time job, need to make the money somehow). 


So now I search. I am looking for a PR job in the Boston area. I'd like to specialize in social media. I am looking for my foot in the door, my entry level position to give me experience and knowledge. Thats where I am now. 


So, what do you think of twitter? Do you care? I'm going to say 99% of the people I know don't actually care about twitter. Its funny how in everyday lingo, 'tweet' seems like a normal word now, but there are some people who I still shiver when they 'tweet' comes across their lips. Why is that? I think this is partially do to the generation gap. To me it is so strange to see my mom pop-up on my facebook news feed, or receive a text message from my dad (who, to be quite honest, knows how to better navigate the iPhone 4 than I do). I guess the age old way of thinking is still present today. My parents, in my mind, should be more interested in the things of their childhood than 3-d tv (another technological advancement my dad could probably out talk anyone about). So to hear my mom talk about updating her facebook leaves me a little bit sad. I come from a heritage not very different from many other people. My mom, born in Italy, came to this country in 1954. My dad, grew up in Watertown. They had things, but nothing was in excess. Computers weren't around yet, tvs were small and in black and white, and going to movies was cheap. Infact, my dad told me once he went to the movies with 25 cents. He saw a movie, 4 cartoons, and got a drink. He left the movie with 10 cents left over. How did we go from 15 cent movies, to $11 tickets? Things change, generations change, and yet in my mind my parents will always be behind in terms of technology, although I have come to realize...maybe it won't be too long until my dad actually does start to 'tweet'.
