Just a quick update. I got a writing internship this week and started on Friday. I will be working for a PR firm in Oakland writing online articles, blogs, and product reviews. The schedule can be flexible and I can do a lot of work from home which is good. This is definitely a step in the right direction and if I do well, hopefully it can lead to ( Read more... )

So for fun (but also for real because I'm clueless right now), I took a career test to see if I'm looking for jobs in the right field for me ( Read more... )

So I called my mom tonight for our weekly Sunday appointment to let her know I'm still alive and you know, generally all right. Usually these conversations are painful. My mom and I don't have much to talk about across the state. We share very few interests and definitely not the same sense of humor. I usually sit (as patiently as I can) and listen ( Read more... )

I'll send out more details later, but mark it in your books for ( Read more... )

I am still trying to organize 80s prom/belated birthday party to me. Unfortunately I have not been able to plan for any time earlier than this upcoming weekend, but I know some people have conflicts in the upcoming weeks. So which is better: this Saturday or the next? After that I have tentative plans to go visit my sister in Boston and I just want ( Read more... )

On Friday, our offices moved to our new building an 1/8th of a mile down the road. We've been working towards this move for months and I'm proud to say it came at a time when we are at our busiest and we physically need more space. Business is moving in the right direction and it feels good to know that I contributed to making this happen. I'm ( Read more... )

I am taking the full-time job at Huntington Learning Center! I was offered tonight and after much consideration, I realized it was not only the right thing to do, it's what I wanted to do. Fuck you lesson plans, grading, and study hall! I'm out ( Read more... )

I've only been a permanant substitute at Lincoln Park for two days when I have another (confidential) job offer ( Read more... )
