i can't believe this is actually happening!

i get a job interview! after the two interviews last week, i was seriously starting to get depressed about the whole job hunting thing... i thought i might never find anything that i'd really want. or that those companies would never call me. actually, i was starting to think that i'd never get another job, period ( Read more... )

My first interview is today! After sending out about a 100 resumes, I finally got a REAL interview. I've had a few call backs and emails that sounded like they were interested in bringing me in for an interview but this is the first that has actually materialized! Yay ( Read more... )

well, it's a lot to take in one day... last day of work (aka first day of unemployment) and a botched burglary. it's an emotional hodgepodge at this point. i'm home already... as i was cleaning out my office, turning my keys in and saying goodbye... i have to admit, i was sad to be leaving this place. i had gotten used to having a nice work laptop ( Read more... )

a burglar broke into my house this morning!!!!! i feel so violated! i was working out at the gym when a man broke our sliding backdoor (totally shattered now) and ransacked (kinda) our house. fortunately, my youngest sister was home for spring break, sleeping in her room.
