I have an interview tonight for a position that will involve reorganizing the Willamette Valley Vineyard's inventory system.

Crap!

Later: I most definitely got it, my friends. Life is oh-so-good.

My appointment with my new eye doctor was Thursday. The news was kind of frustrating. Apparently my prescription has changed only marginally, but I should have been wearing my glasses all day instead of only for long-distance seeing, like driving or looking at white boards in class, which is what a different doctor told me two years ago. He was a ( Read more... )

And I'm back once again, with yet another entry. It's almost sad how often I update this thing when I don't have people around to talk to all the time, isn't it? I used to think I was fairly introverted; now I realize that I'm only introverted when I'm friendless ( Read more... )

I read an article in the New York Times today about age differences in kindergarten and how they affect performance after the fact. At one point, the author quoted Fred Morrison, a developmental psychologist at the University of Michigan, who said:
You couldn’t find a kid who skips a grade these days. We used to revere individual accomplishment. Now ( Read more... )

I finally went job searching today, but the whole thing was very Victoria. My goal was to ask for applications at Victoria's Secret (ha), American Eagle, and possibly Macy's. I parked near Borders so I could wander around in there on my way back out, but I walked right by it on the way in, filled with purpose and in the process of giving myself a ( Read more... )

My phone is finally talking to computers again! As a result of this wonderful happening, my phone now uses the glorious 24 ring tone for almost any caller. My mother is, of course, the exception. For her, it's a remix of the iPhone ringer. This is incredibly exciting for me; it's basically the best thing I've ever done with my phone. Now I just ( Read more... )

The Keane and Mark Ronson songs that are stuck in my head right now are really making it difficult to memorize Latin conjugations and declensions for my final in five and a half hours.

manus manoooos
manum manoooos
manoooos manuum
manui manibus
manooo manibus

Potential confusion:

• manus ≠ manUs
• nom pl + acc pl + gen s = manUs
• dat pl + abl pl = ( Read more... )

Starting my paper wasn't so difficult this time. That's not to say I haven't been putting it off, because I have, but this time I didn't wait until the very last moment I could possibly start. I half wish I had, though, because I really don't enjoy working on short papers in more than one sitting. As it happened, I started it last night around ten ( Read more... )

My dad got his patent back! They've already renewed a multi-million dollar deal they had with this one guy before Jim ruined everything for everyone, and they're having a video conference with the head of security for United Airlines next week ( Read more... )

I like how any time I reach any sort of landmark while paper-writing I have to take a break and celebrate in my lj. I am oficially one-fourth of the way through, and being the smart girl I am, I started with the hardest part! If I just keep on keeping on, I should be done with this thing by at least three. Holler!
