In which there’s no new job, but there is a new beau. The co-op hasn’t called. My last contact with them was on January 19th; it’s been nearly three weeks. If they were going to hire me, they’d have done so by now. I’ve been applying for three jobs every week just like I’m supposed […]
In which I share a brief list of my recent activities. Sunday night I set my alarm for 8 o’clock because I believe that I need to start getting my sleep cycle back to normal grown-up hours. Monday I got up at 8:30, which is much better than 2 o’clock, and drank a very large […]
In which publishers and sellers alike seem to be on the verge of losing their minds. First off, let me just say that I’ve been reading ebooks since 1994. They’re not new. This whole ebook thing has been coming for a long, long time, and I can’t figure out why the big book publishers can’t […]
In which I am the embodiment of laziness. Okay, so I totally need to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress (like two weeks ago) but I’m TOO LAZY TO GET IT ACCOMPLISHED, which is ineffably lame since I have nothing but time, time, time. This is what I’ve accomplished this week: 1. I let […]
In which I go on about my ex-husband and how batshit crazy I am. As y’all know, sometimes I troll my own archives. Today I found this post from May of 2007: I don’t know what you did last night, but I went to my divorce party. Wow. I sure was nice about The Ex […]
In which I recap yesterday’s interview at the co-op. Usually when I walk out of an interview, especially a third interview, I know if I’m going to get the job or not. This time I have no idea. I got a business very-casual vibe the first time I interviewed for this job, plus I’m a […]
In which I share with you some of my prized possessions. Part Three: The Apple coaster This is a coaster I cut out of a mouse pad: I worked for a company called Telegroup in Iowa a long time ago. It was an Apple shop, and I ended up with this old school Apple mousepad […]
In which week 5 of my unemployment marks the beginning of the ass kicking. It’s 4:33 on Friday. It’s been a week since the killer interview, and I haven’t heard anything back. This probably means that they’re not going to hire me. In order to (legally) receive UI benefits, I must apply for three jobs […]
In which unemployment is beginning to take its toll. I stayed up well past two, watching Torchwood on Netflix. (I still love you, Ianto!) Then I slept for about twelve hours. Not straight through, though. I actually woke up at ten and thought about getting up, but I didn’t. I just laid there until I […]
In which I had a great time on New Year’s Eve at Pub 21 with the band. Load-in was at 4:30, but I was late because I had to take a paper copy of my resume (and cover letter and references) to WorkSource to apply for a job. WTF? Why wouldn’t they let me email […]
