It's for an environmental health and safety specialist position at the University of Baltimore - basically, making sure that the science department doesn't kill anyone or break any laws - which is fairly similar to what I did as an intern.

I really want this job. I mean, I'll take anything since I'm leaving my job at UMBC at the end of the month ( Read more... )

My insomnia is really getting out of hand. Even when I'm physically exhausted, I have trouble falling asleep. I lay in bed for hours some nights, trying every relaxation technique I can think of... but some sourceless, indefinable anxiety jolts me back into full wakefulness until I somehow manage to drift off ( Read more... )

My laptop's right hinge has snapped, rendering the machine impossible to close without pulling up a frightful amount of computer innards. D: Other than that, it's in pretty good shape for a 3 year old laptop, and since it was pretty powerful when I bought it, it's not horribly obsolete... so I don't really want to run out and buy another until ( Read more... )

Ahh, I just finshed the first of this morning's Praxis II exams, so now I have an hour to sit around and do nothing. Or, uh, I guess I could be studying. I took Life Science Pedagogy, which I think went well despite it being the exam I was most worried about... well, at least I finished it, which is more than I can say for most of the people in ( Read more... )

Ugh, I just found out that the McDonalds a short walk from my house was the site of a violent attack on a transwoman in which the store employees not only did nothing to help her, but actually stood back and filmed it on their phones. Well, I know where I'm not going to eat anymore... (not that I eat at McDonalds anyway, but I'm always going there ( Read more... )

Great. My father decided to be "helpful" by washing my clothes... and somehow managed to slop bleach all over everything.

So, I got stuck at work an extra four hours today due to call-outs, but I generally like my job so I didn't mind that much. One of the few things I don't like about my job is Renee, the freshman cashier over at the school convenience store who clearly wants to be my friend but seems to have no clue how this "friend" thing works. She's an anime/ ( Read more... )

My arm's not broken! I just have bruised bones and a nasty sprain... plus hypermobility and crepitus in the wrist joint, but I've always had that. No thanks, doc, talk to me about wrist surgery when concert season isn't coming up. So I'll be out of commission for a little while. Of course, it hurts more today and moves even less, so I'm about ( Read more... )

Ugghhh. I tripped over my own clumsy feet and took a hard fall on my right arm, which now hurts like a bitch. If it was broken, I wouldn't be able to move it, right? So maybe it's just a sprain. Either way, ow, ow, ow. Even a masochist like me can't enjoy this. I'd go to the ER, but I have work this afternoon (not to mention dinner plans with ( Read more... )

Scanlators who advertise their works in public communities, but require that you friend their personal journal to download anything. Maybe I'm a little weird in the translation community in that I really don't care what people do with my scanlations. Redistribute them, retranslate them, put them on Youtube as a slideshow, erase my name and ( Read more... )
