(no subject)
Just some notes:
I have now been sleeping on the floor for five weeks--I'm not even sure what it feels like to sleep on a bed anymore. Maybe I'll just sell my bed or something, and put the money in my college fund.
I tried to take the GRE on Tuesday, but there was a detour on the route Google gave me and then the directions I had stopped making sense, and I got hopelessly lost in Puyallup. I fear that there's precious little I can do to get any kind of compensation, so I'm probably out $165: expensive lesson. I'm going to make sure I know exactly where this place is before I schedule another appointment.
I tried to go swimming today at the UPS pool, since they're open for UPS Family Swim from 4-6, except when I showed up at the pool, there was a sign posted saying it was closed today for a scheduled power outage. Wiggety-whack!
Also, today at work, I had to put all these job applicant resumes into a new folder on the shared drive, from about a hundred e-mails that my boss had forwarded to me. Golly. I think I learned a lot just by looking at so many resumes. I liked the ones with cringe-inducing grammar in the sentence about their exceptional communication skills, or the ones that didn't know how to abridge their work history, or the astounding number of applicants who submitted a three page resume, cover letter, and letters of recommendation, for an administrative assistant position. Based on the skimming that I did, I have a few favorites, but really, I think I'm looking as much for a friend as a coworker.
I'm lonely and homesick.

Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.
