Well, we've been here in Arizona for a month and a half, and we're STILL unemployed. It's getting seriously frustrating. Bill and I have both had numerous interviews, and they've always been very positive. But when it comes down to hiring someone, they always go with someone else ( Read more... )

I'm so tired right now. I haven't slept well for a couple weeks, and I was sick all night, too ( Read more... )

I haven't been online very much lately. The job hunt is still going on. Bill and I have both had some promising interviews, but they always seem to fall through on us. We're starting to get pretty worried about our situation here. We have almost no money left at all, and still no jobs ( Read more... )

Where was I? Ah, the saga of Jeff ( Read more... )

Last in line.

Overlooked...unnoticed.

They call me Mr. Afterthought.

Of course not...

I mentioned last entry that I had a crush on my straight friend in college. That's really only the tip of the iceberg though. The situation was far more complicated than that.
