So I started my new job yesterday. And I have to say that I think I'm going to love this job. There will be no such thing as a "routine day" for me, which makes me very happy. I'll have a million different things to work on, so I'll never get bored doing something repetitive (a real problem in my old jobs). That and the fact that I actually get to ( Read more... )

After a rather interesting hiadus from the working world, I return to it tomorrow. I'm in much better spirits about going back to work than I was when my last job ended, mostly because commuting to Manhattan every day is not part of my daily to do list. This excites me greatly. And what excites me even more is the fact that this is a salaried ( Read more... )

So, as much as a Red Sox fan as I am, I think I have finally found a World Series commemorative item that even I think is going to far, and that's saying something. After last season, they tore up the field at Fenway to put a new one down. Instead of just getting rid of the grass like sensible people, they chopped up the turf and sent it to a turf ( Read more... )

So I start my new job Thursday. And honestly, I was getting desperate. My checking account is just about empty, and I really don't want to touch any of my savings accounts or my other investments. The local supermarket was offering $9 an hour to work in their fish department, and seeing as how I remember my grocery store days as rather ridiculously ( Read more... )

I must confess that I have let you down. And by you I mean you, yes, the person(s) reading this. I've been in a funk for the last 5 months or so mainly due to lack of unemployment. As such, I have let you down. I have not been my normal nuts self, bringing joy in the form of randominity and wit. And while good times have been had with many a good ( Read more... )

Wow, in just a few short moments I have beomce disenfranchised from every locale I have lived in or considered living in. Now, as many of you know I was looking to move to Boston for a while, and with a year to plan I've been looking at houses in CT in hopes of amybe finding something cheap and going from there. And by cheap I mean between 200,000 ( Read more... )

Alright, so I've come to the inevitable conclusion that since I'm running out of options for work, I'm going to have to do the one thing that I swore that I would never do again...and that is get a job in the city. But really, this idea is repulsive to me. There is nothing in the wolrd I want less aside from maybe AIDS, and even that's a close call ( Read more... )

So I was putzing on About.com today, and I came across something interesting. According to About.com, you only need 5 things to get married in the Catholic tradition. And they were, in this exact order, as follows ( Read more... )

So it's been an eventful week or so. The job I've been hoping for has finally gotten around to calling my references, but as yet still no word on the job, and I'm giving up hope. Sigh. And I really wanted that job. Anyhow ( Read more... )

So after reviewing my current financial situation, I've decided that I'm going to have to pass on going to San Francisco for the A.N.A. convention this year. I'm kind of bummed about it, but the main reason I'd go would be to buy things, and the cost of airfare, hotel and car, while not insanely expensive, would pretty much wipe out the money that ( Read more... )
