Catching Up
I think going almost two years without writing constitutes severe neglect of journal. I know no one uses LJ anymore, and that's fine. I need somewhere I can keep my thoughts, and I think I'm finally old enough to start living without needing constant affirmation of my every waking moment. My self esteem is beginning to heal itself. So here I am ( Read more... ) -
Could It Be? A Job Interview?
Well, some of my effort in sending out resumes has paid off. I answered a blind ad in the Advocate a little while back, and I finally got a response from it. At least I think I figured out which ad it's from...the most recent time I replied to the Advocate was back in late December, and they're just now getting back to me!
Anyway, I have an ( Read more... ) -
From the Wallyworld Archives
These are actual stories from my experience at Walmart. It's sad and oh so frustrating. Ahem:
Anecdote #1:
They just hired a new assistant manager to replace one that had been fired. She can't be older than her early 30s and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how she managed to get this far in her life. As usual, there was no supervisor ( Read more... ) -

Renewing the Job Search
I've finally decided to stop limiting myself to job searches in the St. Louis area. I could probably get a job almost anywhere in these United States, and it's time I stop being so depressed about nothing coming my way in this geographical area. The truth of the matter is, maybe this isn't where God wants us to be. Up until now I've really not ( Read more... ) -
Hunter Mae
Emily had her baby late last night on November 12, 2009. She was 9 pounds 4 ounces - a fat little baby. I haven't seen her yet, but apparently she looks just like Emily. I'm heading over there after lunch to see this new little bundle of baby ( Read more... ) -

New Apartment, Maybe New Life?
Sigh. Life has been so stressful lately. I hadn't had a period in two months until yesterday, and after two pregnancy tests and two months of work- and home-related stress I was ready to throw in the towel and go through life like a zombie. I know it sounds dumb, but finally having something back that I lost (be it a hassle or not), especially ( Read more... ) -
Dressing Up
I had an interview for a receptionist job in Granite City on Monday, and while the interview went fair, and I don't necessarily expect a call back, I felt pretty good on Monday. Here's why.
I actually put effort into my appearance. I hadn't had an interview for a long time and, consequently, haven't done anything to make myself look decent for ( Read more... )
