Well for starters, I am very sorry it has taken me so damn long to post something new. The past few months have been very hectic. I started a job in Novemeber that was absolutely HORRIBLE. The boss was a cranky, incompetent, ass, whom I am sure will eventually loose most of his business to his competitor and run his family business into the ( Read more... )

I am very tired and have not been home to Leon very long, so this will be very short, and you will have to wait another day to hear of all my great Chicagoland Adventures. I tried to drive home Saturday afternoon from Chicago but found that I was starting to drift off and was just to tired to be driving, so I did the logical thing... I stopped and ( Read more... )

I have been in Chicago for two and a half days and I feel like I have come home from a long vacation. I missed the city, sights, sounds, friends.... I haven't decided how long I will be staying. I had planned to leave on Friday but things are looking good and I may stick around for an extra day. Well I must get to bed. I have phone interviews ( Read more... )

I have so much to do this week. I decided that I should have a garage sale before going to Chicago, for multiple reasons: to make my mommy happy by getting rid of a bunch of junk that is keeping my room and the rest of her house cluttered up, to make some $$$ to spend in Chicago, to make some $$$ to spend on new clothes to wear to Chicago, and to ( Read more... )

I spent most of the day with the twins gallivanting (sp?, lol) around Des Moines. I got up early and ran a resume over to a funeral home on Hickman Road and then stopped over at Drake to see Dr. Rogers. My Dr. Rogers visit rocked. It was incredibly hilarious and if you want details you will have to call me for them. Anyway, we ended up talking ( Read more... )

If it wasn't enough that I spent all of last weekend in Des Moines hanging out with Dara, Dara's dad, Wes, Matt, Andy, and Elizabeth, then surely I will have gotten my Des Moines fill by the end of this week. I am actually in Des Moines now, staying with the twins and Ryan, while I do all sorts of fun things like visit campus records to get a ( Read more... )

I signed up for the National Funeral Directors Convention today. It looks like I will be in Chicago from Sunday the 2nd until Friday the 7th, YAY!!! I decided that it might be worth the time and money to get to mingle with some funeral directors and possibly happen onto an internship position. Also, must admit, I really miss my Chicago friends. ( Read more... )

Well, I did not get either of the jobs I applied for, but it's o.k. I would not be so cranky about it but in one particular case they hired someone who was not nearly as qualified or adept, but he was a "he" and I will put my money on that being the reason I did not get the job. Not only am I jobless and living off of the rents, I am also ( Read more... )

I have been in Iowa for three full days now...HELP. I am having major city withdrawal. What, you may ask, have I done in the past three days in the land of tall corn...Well I had a job interview in a town that is about double, 5,000 total, the size of the city I am from. I went shopping at the dollar general store and bought gum, drove in ( Read more... )

Yay, job interview. I may not have to live off of my parent's for as long as I thought. I have an interview scheduled for 2 p.m. on Thursday in Muscatine, IA. I am going to leave early in the morning and hopefully get there early enough I can look around the town and see what it has to offer. it is a good sized town, something like 25,000 ( Read more... )
