I pulled into the parking lot at TaxWatch around 9:05 this morning, as usual, but today there were NO cars in the lot.  I thought: Weird...usually there are people here before me.  I bet the door's locked ( Read more... )

Four weeks and counting and I don't have any solid job leads yet.  I have applied for 5 jobs now, which is pretty good, but I haven't heard back from any of them yet ( Read more... )

I have to say, this has been a strange weekend.  So many unexpected things have happened in such a short period of time.  I think I'm processing it all okay so far, but it's still working though my mind.  One of my social work classmates died last week in a car accident.  He was a pretty good friend, but unfortunately I hadn't seen him for a few ( Read more... )

Six and a half more weeks until graduation!  It's time to turn up the heat on the job search. Tomorrow I'm going to call Florida Housing Finance Corp. and see what the heck is up!  TaxWatch is going well.  I feel like a know what I'm doing a little more now, but I'm still a bit over my head.  We went to Jacksonville again on Monday.  It was an ( Read more... )

This afternoon at 3:30, I will be leaving for my very first business trip.  Weird, right?  I mean, my parents go on business trips.  I'm going to have to pack a suit and everything ( Read more... )

As of late I've been antsy for more musical outlets, so after some research on Craigslist with the assistance of Andie, I found some people that want to start bands.  I e-mailed a couple of them, and I talked to this guy named Joe on the phone yesterday.  He said that he talked to 2 other guys that want to start something as well.  Joe plays the ( Read more... )

I applied online for a job yesterday! I'm not getting my hopes up about it.  It's been posted for a couple weeks already.  But I think it would be a perfect job for me.  The position is called Senior Policy Analyst.  I don't know what the whole "Senior" thing is all about, because the salary range started at $32,414, which seems kind of low for ( Read more... )

Work was really weird today, and not really because of anything that happened--I think I was just in a funk.  I don't know how long it's going to last.  I might have been because I was really tired from having gone to a show last night.  Rori and I went to Beta Bar, and it was totally worth staying up late.  There were two solo artists, then two ( Read more... )

It's February. You know what that means...3 more months until graduation!! The internship is still about the same. Today was kind of a slow day, but my coworker was circulating this journal that she gets called "Social Innovation". She passed it to me first, and I read it for like 2 hours. Then I spent about an hour posting on my class ( Read more... )

I have been at my internship for a week and a half now. It's going well overall, although this whole 9 to 5 thing is a little hard to get used to. Since I'm a math person, I now think of my weekdays in fractions: 1/3 spent at work, 1/3 spent sleeping, which leaves 1/3--8 hours for other stuff, some of which is getting ready for work, driving to ( Read more... )
