I've been thinking about money a lot lately. I think we all have, with the economy in the toilet and relief a long ways away. I used to be way more fiscally responsible than I am these days. In my early twenties, I had a fairly substantial savings account, I always signed up for the 401(k) (technically, 403(b)) at whatever organization I was ( Read more... )

I HAS A JOB ( Read more... )

They both lasted for about forty minutes, and the first was an in-person interview with HR after a half hour phone interview; it sounds like an interesting job in a company I'd probably enjoy working for, but there is still at least one more round - possibly two - of interviews, and I can ( Read more... )

My quick non-spoilery reaction is that I enjoyed seeing Liam Neeson kick ungodly amounts of ass, but as with all middle-aged white man revenge scenario movies, you can't think too much about it because it's highly problematic. ( spoilers, with a side of not thinking too much about it )

fleurdeleo called me at quarter to seven this evening and said, "Let's go to the Bar Around the Corner." So I met her there, had a few pints of cider and some chicken quesadillas, and then we went to the expensive Italian restaurant wth the awesome dessert menu for dessert. I had the bittersweet chocolate creme brulee, and she had crepes suzette, which they ( Read more... )

The good, the bad, and the ugly:

the good:
+ I believe my interview went really well today - I liked both the people I met with and the description of the job
+ I have a tasty hot chocolate waiting for me to drink and a toasted bagel with cream cheese to eat
+ new SPN tonight!
+ I have the season finale of FNL waiting for me to watch
