I called White House/Black Market today during a break at work and talked to a very helpful woman who clearly and concisely took my order . . . and, being a nice person, she also gave me a $25 coupon code to use on the dress, because she felt bad for all the effort I'd gone though to get it. So the whole thing is costing me less than $50, ( Read more... )

I was shopping with a friend about a week ago and I tried on this black dress that I really liked at White House/Black Market. It's knee length, low cut, sleeveless with wide straps, and the material does a fun twisty thing. It's also $128. So, I decided not to buy it. I then thought about it, realized I really wanted the dress a lot, and got $ ( Read more... )

If anyone wants to see some PSAs I worked on, go to www.redapes.org. I believe there's a link to them on the front page of the site.

We spent two hours talking about roleplaying games, books, and TV shows, and he payed for lunch. I'd call my date a success! I hope he feels the same. I feel, however, that his asking if I wanted to maybe see a movie sometime, as we were leaving, was a good sign. I forgot to thank him for lunch though.

So, Elizabeth and I went on our double blind date on Saturday evening. We met up with the two guys we'd been assigned at a coffee shop in Hollywood, and ended up chatting for a little over an hour. Conversation topics ranged between Star Trek and Star Wars, movies, dating in general, and various other things. One of the guys was a total geek, ( Read more... )

So, virus problems aside (I hope the virus is actually gone!), my friend and I have been playing on this blind dating website called CrazyBlindDate.com. Basically, it's for people who have nothing to do one night, and they, spur of the moment, decide, "I want to go on a date." So the site sets them up with someone in their area. And, best of all ( Read more... )

Oh, forgot to update on what happened with the job interviews.

Scripty gig = they went with someone else.

Receptionist job = they went with someone else.

*sigh*

So, Nielsen has granted me the 5 week leave of absence, but now I don't know if I have the Scripty gig. I interviewed with them this morning, and it's between me and one other person, as of this evening. I'll know tomorrow morning. Wish me luck ( Read more... )

Ok, here's the situation. I'm currently working at Nielsen NRG, having people take surveys on their movie preferences. This job is 3, sometimes 4, days a week. This gives me roughly $800/month. Now, I sent in a resume for a craig's list job, to be a Script Supervisor for a 5 week low budget feature film shoot. And I got an e-mail back saying I ( Read more... )
