Employment
We received notification yesterday that United is going to shut down our office. Our last day is scheduled for 8/31/07. I appreciate having this much advanced notice, but it still sucks. We're just now getting to where I'm not paranoid about spending too much, and I was thinking of buying a few things for the apartment. So much for that. I'm tired of worrying about money. I wish I could just relax about it for a while. I don't mean that I want to go buck wild on a spending spree, but I would like to be able to go out to eat or buy MAC or other non-essentials without feeling incredibly guilty. I think I somehow ended up with Catholic or Jewish guilt. Hmm, maybe Matt's family or Lelee rubbed off on me.
I would really like to go back to school and get at least a Master's and preferably a PhD, but in order to be accepted I need to take the GRE, and I'm not prepared. I've been haphazardly studying on my own, but I think I really need something more structured. Ideally, I think I'd like to have a private tutor that I could meet with twice a week. Unfortunately, the only person I know of that is really good would be Tony, and I don't think he is close enough. (Hey Tony, please correct me if I'm wrong!) Any suggestions for tutors, books, classes, flash cards, anything to help me prepare, would be greatly appreciated.
*sigh* I guess it's time for me to finish tweaking my resume and start trying to find a new job. I'm getting a bit discouraged by the fact that almost all of the companies I have worked at for a substantial amount of time have shut down, or at least they shut down the location that I was working at.
