so much going on!
so. much. to. do. and i'm spending way more money than i want to be, because i want to see all my greensboro friends and have a good time with them before i leave, since who knows if i'll make it back for halloween or when i'll see them again. hopefully i can get a lot of errands done today and this weekend so i won't have to worry about it all next week while i'm trying to finish packing. and of course, with all this stuff to do, i'm sitting here at work being bored. argh.
in other news, i have a job interview set up. it's funny, i sent resumes to (let me count) 13 different magazines/publishing companies/other editorial jobs and haven't heard from any of them, and i sent resumes to three historical sites a week ago and have gotten two phone calls already. ha. anyway, i'm going to the peabody essex museum in salem for a 2pm interview on thursday september 4. (hey, dann and jorn, would it be easier to get there by car or by T? here's their directions.) i was looking at the website, and it looks like it would be an absolutely awesome place to work. except for that whole it only pays $9/hour thing. there's no way i could make rent on that and still eat and stuff. i'm going to the interview anyway, for practice, and because i am interested in the place, so we'll see what happens. the other place where i think i'm going to have an interview is the Mary Baker Eddy Library, which sounds really interesting too--the interview hasn't been scheduled yet because i'm still playing phone tag with the woman there, who is currently out of town. that one supposedly pays from $10-12/hour. i think i could live on $12/hour. i'd rather work at the Peabody-Essex Museum, but then again i'd rather have an editing job, so we'll see what happens. teh.
anyway, here's some lists that will hopefully help me plan my damned weekend:
things i'm doing this weekend:
today: leave work early, run errands, pick up jorn at 5, meet folks at the field for frisbee at 5:30, shower and get to lori's birthday party after 9 or so.
saturday: run assorted errands, then make a nice dinner for rhett and jeff and jorn and i. meet folks in the courtyard between 6:15 and 6:30 for the baseball game. after the game, head over to emily's for a game night (hey jorn, you should come too if the concert's over by then)
sunday: assorted errands, possibly frisbee, and maybe going to the SAI mtg at 8pm to say goodbye to those girls.
errands to run:
-stop at target after the movie to get sandwich bags and more packing tape (i've already almost used up the one jorn got for me on saturday)
-get some groceries
-get more boxes!
-take car to jiffylube for an oil change and get the windshield wipers changed too
-get a haircut this weekend
-stop by AAA to get some maps
-drop off my keys at blandwood
-get to the laundromat at some point and wash our linens
-get to the post office and get the change of address forms and fill them out
-work on getting a new NC drivers license (so i can sneakily keep the one with the good picture after i move)
-stop by uncg: ask jim to write me a reference letter (hey, it can't hurt), stop by to see stuart, and stop by CASA to say hello
other things to do:
-keep packing!
-get over to the storage unit and get the desk out for jamie
-give john my wicker chair
-watch the last three episodes of buffy season four with rhett (damn. some good stuff, there. the initiative destroyed, the evil colonel eaten by a demon, some tidbits of slayer history, some really awesome dreams ("A good watcher must defy gravity!"). i love buffy).
-tear the lining out of the lemon dress
-find out specifics about the bats game--time and how to get there meeting at 6:15-6:30ish in my courtyard, yo
-email barbara to set up lunch date for next week; talk to shelly about doing lunch next week
-call uncg's career services people to make sure they received reference letters from everyone who was supposed to write me one, and give them my new address
people to notify when address changes:
-geico (well, i gave them my new address, but they don't provide service in massachussetts. so i need a new car insurance company, now, too. great.)

-piedmont natural gas (cancel service)
-bell south (cancel service) (why does the bell south 1-888 number not work from my work phone?)
-qwest (cancel service)
-earthlink (i didn't cancel the service because i don't know what kind of internet we'll be getting in boston, so i thought i should hang onto it a bit longer just in case)
