Not-Work
Is it bad to have written a  cover letter and find that when explaining one of the reasons you really want to work for a company you used almost an exact sentence that they used to describe themselves? I edited it of course, but still. I can't decide if that is a good or a bad thing. I know you are supposed to always be applying for things ( Read more... )

Unemployment: Week one.Seven days down and what have I accomplished? Not so much. Shocking, I know. I've cleaned a bit and slept a lot. It took exactly one night before I reverted to my natural 4AM bedtime. And I probably have the most organized iTunes library of anyone you know.I did work on that.  I was going to spend Friday actually applying ( Read more... )

Looking through old files to find something to print, I found a file from May '08 titled "Two.doc", that turned out to be a two-word meme. I think I was too lazy to name it, so Word automatically named it The, since the first line is "The "Two-Word" Meme". I googled "two word meme" and tried to find it again (you know, so I could do it again 2 ( Read more... )

I should be either working on stuff for my don-have-to-leave-the-house job, coming up with something for tomorrow's meeting for my one-time-thing-I-am-doing-to-get-paid assignment, or getting in the bed to prepare for waking up early for the out-of-the-house job, instead what am I doing? Watching "V" (You know, the old miniseries where the crazy ( Read more... )

I can't decide if I want to do a Heroes post or not. I took notes as I watched it, and then I got sleepy. Then, I loaded it up to watch when I got home from work today, but that was at 5... and the tab is still languishing there, buried beneath all of the other things I am working on at the moment. I considered forgoing the regular rewatch, instead ( Read more... )

So, while looking through Squerb's amazingly amazing picspam of rock stars of the 60s and 70s, I realized I need a new band. (You know you can tell if a picspam is good? Okay, normally the answer is "if I bother to look at it". But, today, under present circumstances, the answer is, "if I wait ages and ages for it to load even though I am back on ( Read more... )

I don't go to work until 5 today, AND I don't have to ride the bus... so that gives me three hours to kill. And, instead of accompanying Ma to the job fair (pretty productive) or cleaning my room/the kitchen/bathroom/living room (kind of productive), finding the box to the DVDs I have to return to the library (productive, and money-saving) or ( Read more... )

Here's a meme I stole from

This is not the post I was originally going to make. But because that post is rather awkward and vague and ridiculous, I am going with this one instead. Because I know that everyone loves to read other people talking about the things that they need to be doing. Things that they could be doing if they were not, in fact, on LJ posting about not ( Read more... )

So I went out with Ma today so that she could look for a new job. This entailed getting up early, combing my hair and going out in the cold. (Three things I am not a fan of) I just tag along for the appearance of being interested in new jobs. I like what I do just fine. I work, I get paid, and I don't have to leave the house. There is almost no ( Read more... )
