Good news!
Who's got two thumbs and will be starting a new job in June?
This girl!
So, special thank-yous once again to searchyoursoul, a_real_phony, Pete, Holly, Randi, MIT, and everyone else who helped me with advice and encouragement. A special NO THANK YOU to CPHS career lab/class, which has the unique distinction of being more or less dead wrong in everything they taught me. ( ( Read more... ) -
fingers crossed
Minor update: went back for a second interview last Friday. Think it went well--actually enjoyed talking with one of my interviewers very much indeed, so that's a good sign ( Read more... ) -

Is there anything else I should be aware of? -
Happy late Valentine's Day.
For those of you who are fascinated by Lady Gaga, who will admit to secretly liking Bad Romance, who appreciate utter silliness, who love a good straight man (as in, the comedic routine), and of course, who like the occasional indie-fuck-with-a-guitar....

on professional sports
Ok. I'll admit it. I got caught up a little bit in the excitement of a pro sports team this last week or two when the Packers went to the Superbowl. I'm even a little stoked that they won--the enthusiasm of the (and I mean it pretty close to literally) the entire state of Wisconsin is hard to ignore ( Read more... ) -
fun facts
Did you know that the Billboard charts were not invented until 1944? Fascinating stuff, right, but how am I supposed to find out what songs were popular at the beginning of World War II ( Read more... )
