I have to admit...I was very bored at work today.  I think the worst part of starting a new job is the boredom--because ur new to everything, so everyone treats u with kiddie gloves and doesnt make u work much because ur "learning."  Well, my staff is awesome and nice and friendly, so they havent been necessarily treating me with kiddie gloves; but ( Read more... )

First day of work was cool.  My boss, Laurie Austin, is so nice and helpful.  She introduced me to about 25 people, no kidding.  There's no way I'm going to remember half of their names, and she even mentioned that it would be pulling teeth if I tried.  Everyone is so nice.  I met my Recruiting Supervisor.  Her name is Margeruite.  I thought her ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the last day of my W. W. Norton & Company Publicity Internship.  Ironically, yesterday, I did the most writing---IT WAS GREAT!  Remember how I was saying before how I was basically doing copying and filing up to my ass these past couple of Tuesdays?  Well, yesterday, I wrote to my heart's content.  I did a press release for my boss ( Read more... )

I'm such a good girl.  Well, something tells me I'm gonna have to get out my naughty streak.  I decided to sponsor a kid from Zambia with Children International.  One of their dialoguers caught me as I was entering the subway about a month ago, and after fifteen minutes, he convinced me to sign up.  I've always wanted to sponsor a kid, so ( Read more... )

Been reading a lot lately.  I have a favorite author, Linda Howard.  Usually, I hate romance novels, but her romance is mixed in with mystery.  I love her style, and the men in each of her novels are hot! Like, wow!

Going to start my new job either this coming Monday, the 18th or the following Monday, the 25th.  My boss will let me know.  I have to ( Read more... )

I GOT THE JOB! I GOT THE JOB! I GOT THE JOB! I GOT THE JOB! YO TENGO EL TRABAJO! YO TENGO EL TRABAJO!

Well, got back from my second interview with the Director of Admissions for the part-time Admissions Counselor position...and it went really well.  But you know, wherever I go, humor in the most spine-tickling form never seems to be far behind...

There I am sitting in the receptionist area waiting to be called in by the director.  An older man of ( Read more... )

My brothers really get me ticked off sometimes.  Both of them have been hounding me to buy ink for my printer.  Well, it might seem right because, after all, it is my printer. HOWEVER, they use my  ink too! So why should I be the only one buying ink for a printer that they use also?! Ha. I told them to keep wishing.  Jerks!

Anyways, on a better ( Read more... )

I'm here at my internship job at Norton, and I feel so lazy.  Im also tired of this job.  I'm not really doing anything great.  I just file, copy, mail things out, and do anything and everything else my boss doesnt want to do. It's so funny because in the beginning, I was so excited because this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and all.  It is ( Read more... )

My job interview today for the part-time SUNY (State Universities of New York) Admissions Counselor position went well.  I arrived a little late because I couldnt find the darn building.  I realized that I passed it without even knowing it. I'm so silly sometimes.  I called them to let them know that I walked too far in the opposite direction so ( Read more... )
