I can't stay away!

matinee

Thanks. =)

well, i certainly didn't expect ted leo to play a free outdoors show in d.c. tonight. don't mind if i do! i'm wondering though, since it's billed as just "ted leo" and no pharmacists, if he's going to be with the band or what. well, i'll certainly take anything-- as long as i hear "timorous me" tonight. that's all i ask for ( Read more... )

i found out on thursday that i got the job! longest interview process ever. but i'm completely ecstatic and relieved. i'll be working full time as an associate ESL coordinator for a nonprofit organization that provides services and programs for immigrants. my salary isn't exactly fabulous, but this is how i look at it-- it's triple what i made ( Read more... )

just a quick update to express my joy over having internet at work once again! now i can stop this nonsense of passing the time at work by actually, gasp, working! these past four weeks without refreshing my livejournal friends page every two minutes, doing the crossword puzzle at the washington post website, reordering my netflix queue, etc, etc ( Read more... )

well, this second interview hasn't happened yet. i was starting to think that i had just imagined their e-mail asking me to come in again, but they finally got in touch with me today. send good thoughts over to falls church, virginia around 1:30 tomorrow afternoon, please? i've gone over answers to possible questions so much that now i'm afraid ( Read more... )

sara already mentioned this, but my heart's all a flutter with nerdy delight... yahoo mail accounts now offer 100 mb of storage! it's still significantly less than what gmail is giving out, but still. i think that's all the space i'll ever need, anyway. my mailbox was always sort of teetering between 75-90% full, and i've always been too lazy to ( Read more... )

exhausting weekend. my student, leela, couldn't make it to our tutoring session on saturday afternoon because, well, she was in the hospital. she actually called me from her room to tell me that. her story is sort of a long, involved one and i don't feel like it's my place to write it all down here, but needless to say, seeing her this weekend ( ( Read more... )

well, i got a second interview. this time with the big-momma director of the organization, probably monday. this is my first second interview ever, so it's a little nervewracking. somehow, i think it's going to be scarier than the first interview-- because now i know that i really want the job after learning more about it and meeting the people ( Read more... )

the seemingly simple process of switching my domain name to another registrar? yeah. NOT SO SIMPLE. makes me want to gouge out my eyeballs, actually. it's that bad. i am so done with yahoo/geocities. if this continues, i'm tempted just to cancel nerdlet.org and find a new domain name. uggghhhhh ( Read more... )

okay, so this matters to nobody but me, but i'm now in the middle of switching web hosts-- from geoshitties to the wonderful, nice as heck nerds over at bloghosts.com (and they're way more affordable too)... meaning that soon, i will have the capabilities to update my website with movable type or some other blog software. how freaking exciting.
