I think I have a name for some of what's going on with the media and all that's going to help me get through the next few days. This is the Electionpocalypse. Like a Snowmeggedon especially in terms of the media. Things might go badly, but they also might not. Better stories come out of predicting the worst and its good to be prepared for the worst ( Read more... )

I think I need to get into the habit of writing every week as things happen and I go, I should write about that and then I don't. And I like seeing what's going on with other people's lives and also for me its helpful to go, I want to do this and writing is a way to go, should do this ( Read more... )

The weather is at the moment far too hot and humid but life is going pretty well. I had a new mattress delivered yesterday and had my first sleep on it last night, which was nice. Its going to take a little getting used to after my very old mattress that dipped so much ( Read more... )

My birthday was ten days ago and my parents came up and we had a lovely time. We went to a botanic garden farther west and later did book shopping. I really enjoyed just being with them and having time to talk and process more of the job change. I love being able to plan things and knowing that I'm more secure ( Read more... )

I'm enjoying a Sunday off after a busy week where I went to New York City with my parents to see the opera La Rondine and wander around the Met and the city. The opera was fascinating as its by Puccini about a courtesan who falls in love while pretending to be someone else and then ends up going back to the man keeping her. Its both light and not ( Read more... )

Life has been full and it finally feels like its heading towards happier things. This past week, my parents came up to visit and I got a new car. Same model as my old one but the almost newest one and oh its taken a huge load of worry off my shoulders. Now I'm not wondering what's going to break next and my car is so pretty, its a lovely dark blue ( Read more... )

Damn it, turns out I didn't get the job at my library, not enough programming experience and didn't even get to an interview at the other library before they hired someone else. I hate this, because I know that's my weak spot, I'm open about it in interviews, but they know how fast I learn and connect with other people. They're been working with me ( Read more... )

Life is going on in sort of good ways but I keep realizing that my creativity has definitely gotten quieter. I had a job interview on Monday that felt like it went well, not great, not bad just okay. It felt good to have an interview at another library and feel like I presented myself in a good way. I have some other applications out there and ( Read more... )

ell, I didn't get the full time job that I applied for at the library. Apparently I've improved in my interviewing since the last one I did at the library and I was a strong candidate but someone else was better. I think waiting to find out about this has been quietly stressing me out since the interview which was about a month ago ( Read more... )

I went to PAX East this weekend and saw Oxventure in person which was a lot of fun and overwhelming. PAX is a gigantic con, where I found some cool things, met neat people and tried not to get run over by multiple people. The cosplay was great, I didn't really get pictures since the expo floor was a lot. Since I was pretty much there just for a ( Read more... )
