Well, that didn't go as well as I hoped.
Update on job interview - didn't make it to the second round. Ah, well. I went to the campus job postings website and found another bunch of jobs to apply for. See what shakes out of the tree with those. Current prospects:
• Undergraduate Degree Coordinator for the College of Letters and Sciences
• History Dept. Career Connections Advisor and Dept Communications/Alumni Relations Spec
• University Services Program Assistant for School of Nursing Academic and Student Svcs
The first two are academic staff and would mean a little more money; the last one is what we call university staff and would merely be a lateral transfer with probably no extra money as I'm already making above the minimum rate and this place is chincy as hell under the current budget forced on us by Weasel Walker. Jhere's a fourth position I'd be really interested in if it were a renewable position: Program Coordinator, LGBT Campus Center at the Division of Student Life. Unfortunately, it's only a one year appointment.
Finally vacuumed the lower level of the condo for the first time in, like, 6 months. Don't laugh--I've got a Kirby that weighs a million tons and, somehow, my ex-roommate disconnected the clutch pedal from the transmission. Yes, it has a drive and a neutral: drive to vacuum and neutral to push around when the vacuum is off. Trust me, that sucker is heavy (broke a toe when I tripped over it once!) and it doesn't roll freely until it's in neutral. Damn good thing the machine was left in drive before she did whatever she did to pull the clutch pedal out. At least I can still vacuum!
I've been trying to get back into healthful eating and an exercise program. The healthful eating has it's ups and downs. I'm holding steady at my current weight and NOT GAINING, so I'm good with that for now. I try to exercise 4-5 times a week and mostly succeeding. I actually got in over 50,000 steps last week, which is excellent as I'd been barely making 40,000 most weeks. I'd like to get that up a little more. The extra steps with 30 minutes of exercising in the morning makes me feel much better than just sitting around in my easy chair, moping.
I am enraged with the current Captain America storyline in the comics. I haven't picked up my pulls in a couple of weeks; when I do go in, I'm telling them to put it back on the shelf.
