So I don't want to jinx it (because I've been let down a lot with jobs lately it seems and all I need is just one more disappointment to send me over the edge, right?), but I got a call last week from the staffing agency offering me the job at the call center for a 'regional healthcare and insurance company' that will remain nameless in honor of ( Read more... )

I've been staring at this blank spot in which to type for quite a moment, taking extra-long sips of my vodka infused pepsi beverage to help delay the inevitable: That I am going to write something about 2011. Let's start with the numbers themselves: 2011. It was an odd-numbered year, and an ugly looking set of numbers there, as well. Nothing is ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas, LJ land!

Right now it looks really creepy outside. There is a very thin veil of snow covering the ground from last night, which makes it seem brighter outside, but its reallllly foggy at the same time, so it looks like something from a creeper movie or the perfect setting for a murder mystery. I'd take a picture but I doubt it would convey properly. Anyway ( Read more... )

I got an e-mail from the place I'd been hoping for a 3rd interview from, saying too bad so sad you totally suck you big loser face. Ok thats not what it said, but it might as well have said it because that is how I felt after reading it ( Read more... )

So I got the new Solar Fields album the other day, and have listened to it about 10 times so far. I really enjoy it. It is a bit of a departure from his older albums. It is a musical journey, with each track broken into phases. It takes you from a slow start to an epic culmination of sweeping pads and synths, to piano harmony with a triumphant ( Read more... )

I'm knocking on wood here, but so far so good for our 2nd winter here in Spokane. So far its only snowed a few times and its melted pretty quickly. I kind of like that. I'm not sure what the big deal is, maybe snow just reminds me its winter and makes life seem more bleak, I don't know. But I like that there's no snow. We have Rusty now (Laurel's ( Read more... )

So yesterday I had my 2nd interview. It was a group interview, with 4 other gals and 2 hiring managers. I think it went pretty well. But I'll know for sure how well it went if I get called back for a 3rd interview. They said we should know by Tuesday. 3 interviews seems excessive to me, but out of 90 people theya re only hiring 12, so I'm sure they ( Read more... )

Sunday I received an e-mail from the place where I'd interviewed at, for a second interview Wednesday at 3:PM. I went to find a bigger black jacket for my interview outfit but they didn't have any at the store I went to, so instead I bought a belt so that I can leave the jacket I currently have open, and now it won't look dumb. I got a little porky ( Read more... )

I have not yet heard back from the place where I interviewed Tuesday. I don't know when I would hear back from them as they didn't say, but I kind of hoped it would be by the end of the work week. Sigh ( Read more... )
