Re: Being Sad and Vulnerable makes you Brave
I had this idea that it would be fun to work at a department store for Christmas . . . and when I applied they saw I had worked as a diamond grader. So I am hanging out in Fine Jewelry playing around with all the sparkly stuff, and trying to figure out how to replace batteries in watches (yikes!). I'm one class away from the GIA's graduate gemologist certification and one away from their Accredited Jewelry Professional. GIA hired 300 graders in 2007 and gave us all free training. Then the economy tanked in 2008, by Spring of 09 they laid 200 graders off. I louped a stone the other day and was surprised I could still see an extra facet and familiar clarity characteristics.
Yep, Christmas is coming, and you know I am more sarcastic then you - so I appreciate the humor.
