Work on the bathroom is underway. Our tub is now in. Unfortunately, they had to go in my room and drill a hole in the wall because my room is adjacent to the bathroom. I was worried that might happen. So, I've really been in and out of there, but hopefully I'll have my room back soon. We also don't have our car since my dad needs it for work ( Read more... )

So, I met with Heidi yesterday. It was the usual stuff, more job searching. She called a few more places again. She had asked me if I would prefer to be able to work from home. I said yes. Then she gave me homework to look up info on starting your own business, specifically about database work because that is what I had been doing. Also I'm still ( Read more... )

Over the past week or so I finished Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Then I played LOOM. I wish that game wasn't so short and the sequel(s) could have been made because I realize the plot doesn't make much sense. I've played that game many times and this is the first time I actually felt like I didn't have a clue what the game was about lol ( Read more... )

Got through my first couple of days at my new job. Finding it good so far. I do some of the same stuff I was doing at ABM, like data entry, filing and making labels. Only thing is I find myself waiting a lot for Amber, whom I work for. When she gives me a task and I finish it, I go to her and she'll tell me she'll find something else for me to do ( Read more... )

Brief thoughts on the Oscars: Well done to The King's Speech for winning Best Picture! It was such a good movie. I actually really enjoyed the Oscars last night. I thought it was tastefully done. The only thing which disappointed me was Inception not winning for Best Score. It really deserved it. I thought Anne Hathaway and James Franco did a good ( Read more... )

So, I met with the WECARE people yesterday. They told me the 1 year won't be for the internship, and they will call my co-worker again to discuss when payment will actually start. They want to make sure it's as soon as possible. I also agreed to have my hours increased next week. We're gradually going to build up to 20 hours a week. Also I was ( Read more... )

I've now gone through the third day of this internship. I'm doing pretty well so far. It doesn't seem to be a job that involves too much social interaction. Today I basically did some alphabetizing and filing. I like repetitive tasks. I could probably happily do them all day ( Read more... )

Ok I felt a bit better after day two. It was basically more of the same...copying papers. The copier actually got jammed every time I'd try to make a copy. It was ridiculous. So, I got quite a bit of experience with how to fix the copier. The lady I work for told me it's because that copier doesn't like cheap paper. Eventually this other woman came ( Read more... )

So today was my first day on my internship. I thought it went all right. Had the job coach with me to help out just for the first day. All I did was copy papers and put them in binders. Sounds not too hard. Of course, when you've never used a copier before, it's tricky to figure out. Also you have to be very careful to make sure everything is right ( Read more... )

So, the first episode of Back to the Future came out and I thought it was just fantastic! I was completely absorbed and didn't want to stop playing until it was over. It didn't even feel like a Telltale game to me. It feels like a proper sequel to the film franchise. They did an excellent job of capturing the feel of the films, that it really does ( Read more... )
