I am LOVING the Democrats in the House right now.

This is what I find while I'm looking for a job at 1:30 in the morning:

This is a letter to who ever that guy is that works out infront of the Shell Gas Station on the corner of Monroe and Piedmont. I'm apologizing for having punched you that way. I wanted to prove to my cousin that you were a balloon, and that is why I punched you a while back on ( Read more... )

So unemployment doesn't suit me.  I feel like the laziest person on the planet because I have no job interviews yet.  I know these things need time but someone's hang over should have cleared up enough to give me a call.

I've made some adjustments to my cover letter and resume to reflect my current status as well as not to sound so sucky.  With the ( Read more... )

Okay, as we come upon the end of the year, I would like to know what everyone’s “fave three” were for the following topics in the year 2006.  For the sake of space and our poor vision, everyone do your damnedest to keep it down to three picks :D

Christmas was surprisingly nice despite all the work-tension, family issues, and deaths of late.  My Mom (for the moment) isn't hung up on my departure from work ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is officially my final week at work.  ::gasp-second-thoughts::

Now I have limited funds and no career prospects promised to me.  I applied to three more jobs today.  I'm sensing a pattern here.  I also spoke with someone at Starbucks and asked how much working there sucked.  She said not so much so that might be my part-time wage-slave plan ( Read more... )

All in all a ho-hum day.  I applied to 4 jobs after I got off work which was pretty much "lazy Monday" according to everyone working.

I have tomorrow off.  X-Mas shopping is to be expected and - God-willing - maybe some R&R as well as writing.

I think I'm turning in early tonight.

So, before work yesterday, my parents sat me down to discuss my choice of leaving work without first having another job.  My dad was more or less articulate about why he was concerned and disappointed in my choice while my mom was less constructive.  Both seemed unable/unwilling to believe that this would end any way but poorly but Mom crossed a ( Read more... )

At the halfway point.  Funnily enough I'm getting more crap at home for quitting work than I am at work.  My parents are behaving like this is the worst possible thing I could have done to them as a daughter.  I'd like to interject a little reality if I may.  Here are issues/problems/complications I do not have in my life ( Read more... )

Highlghts of the day (assuming you could call it that)

- Woke up to Mom and my Sis throwing down over my sister's spending habits and how she needs to start saving her money so she doesn't keep on living in debt to cars, cards, and all that jazz.  It wouldn't be Christmas if Erin didn't scream "return all my presants, I don't want anything from you ( Read more... )
