Hahahahahaha WOW I cannot believe it, so I could have two incomes I interviewed for a part-time job at the library - the library where my mother is on the board and runs the book sale, and I volunteer at the book sale, and volunteered all through high school - and I did not get it. I am an unemployable loser. Time for more Switched at Birth.

Work last night was awful. First of all, having to wash my hands every time I blew my nose took up a BUNCH of time so I didn't get to do everything I meant to get to. Then I had a massive (like almost to the point of nausea) headache from my sinuses combined with my sleep debt - I'd had three nights on cold medicine where for some reason I woke up ( Read more... )

I am so depressed tonight

My patterning at Sturbridge went well - two spencers, one early and one mid, an evening dress that I really liked but may be some sort of Victorian reproduction (a really well-done and attractive one, but it is Not Quite Right), and another bib-front. It's not quite the same as the other one I did (which was exactly the ( Read more... )

Getting responses to my Outlander posts! Fun ( Read more... )

I can't get over the irony that Labor Day is meant to celebrate unionizing and the improvement of working conditions and today we make a big fuss over it and give people the day off ... yet we also turn it into an opportunity for sales and force everyone in retail to work it. And work twice as hard, because all of the people who have the day off ( Read more... )

How cool would it be to be a curator in a Rockefeller mansion? I mean I know it's a huge reach, but wouldn't it be cool? ... AND THE CYCLE BEGINS AGAIN

From now on I'm going to post more original tweets. And use more hashtags. I have a probably unfounded idea that if I can be more active on Twitter and get more followers, I will get hired. This is ( Read more... )

I feel a bit better. Melissa helped me find an explanation of the test results and how they work, so I can see that I'm ranked 87 out of 330 (not too bad) and that my score means that if only two people with scores of 95, 90, or 85 are interested in a particular job, I'll get a letter asking if I'm interested (not too good, but could work ( Read more... )

I decided to treat myself with very, very marked-down Sims expansions on Origin - Ambitions, which I've always been curious about, and Roaring Heights, which is a TOTALLY ART DECO-THEMED WORLD, and all the family descriptions are super early-'30s, and there's new hair and clothes and furniture and patterns and buildings, and it is seriously amazing ( Read more... )

Got an email back from ATHM turning me down. It wouldn't sting so much if I got the better rejection ("your credentials are/many candidates were good, but we went with someone more qualified") - instead I got the "no thanks". It sucks, I thought I stood a good chance of at least getting an interview because of my enthusiasm ( Read more... )

My wrist is absolutely killing me lately. I'm supposed to get a pertussis shot to be allowed to be near my future nephew, so I guess I'll make a doctor's appointment for that and bring it up when I'm there. Once I finish this cap, I might take all of my sewn stuff down from Etsy. Don't know if I'll be able to finish that Civil War dress for the ( Read more... )
