Hey everybody -- I'd like to announce that I will probably no longer be updating Livejournal. I'm sorry to leave, but I just hit a point in my life where I think I'm done with it. No drama, no hard feelings, no nothing -- just tired of the format, is all ( Read more... )

My other job interview today wasn't so great; they said they had a TON of applicants so I think I'll eliminate myself from the competition. I just got a general bad vibe from the interviewer -- he was nice enough, but quick to belittle any kind of experience I had (I understand why he was being tough, because he needed to narrow down the ( Read more... )

Hello again! Sorry I ain't post. It's hard to get back into the swing of it, but I'm trying. And I figure I really should start writing in here again, because I'm feeling very stressed lately, and writing in a journal's supposed to help that, so.

But I hope there ISN'T any disaster ( Read more... )

I´m here! It´s warm and smells good!

I´ll give everyone a more thorough update later.

Okay, British Airways, you and I are THROUGH. They canceled my flight for TOMORROW. So I said EFF this and got a new flight with Swiss Air. Let's hope the twits refund my money. I understand that England's not very well-equipped for this weather, but this is INFURIATING...especially coming from a region where we have to go about our business in ( Read more... )
