I finally got a job ( Read more... )

A week has passed, and I still haven't heard from the HR rep concerning the writing position at the auction house. I left a voicemail (yeah, again) today asking if a decision was made. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that I didn't get it. Thinking back to interview two weeks ago, I can't think of any mistakes I made that stood out. The ( Read more... )

I woke up at 4:00am and couldn't go back to sleep so I browsed the job sites looking for something new---there wasn't. I get a phone call from the chiropractic place around 8:00 telling me that, surprise surprise, I didn't get the job. This is becoming fucking frustrating. A plus, though, the place will consider me for another position in the ( Read more... )

I had tacos for dinner, and I noticed the taco shell tasted funky. I checked the box and found out the shells expired. If a food is way past its due date, I don't touch it especially with breads. Even if the mold is only on one slice of bread, the damage is done. I can't eat it. So imagine my surprise when I found out I ate expired taco shells. I ( Read more... )

It's official: I love dancing animals as evident in exhibit A and exhibit B.

I also learned today that procrastination gets me nowhere. Oh boy, I'll never make that mistake again. No way...

Why am I so addicted to donut holes? I've been eating a lot of them this week, and those things are so not good for you. But they taste so good. Trans fats, yum!

My copy editing experience is going great, so great that I'm inspired to look for copy writing or copy editing jobs. Problem: you need commercial experience, and I don't have much. The job ( Read more... )

I applied to a Medical Editing position for a newsletter about a month ago, and they called me last week asking if I would be interested. This job combines two of my favorites things: biology and writing. HELL YEAH, I thought.

Now comes the real test: Am I able to edit something? The company gave me a test packet with one scientific article, a ( Read more... )

Thank God I don't have a Myspace:

People ask me if I have a myspace. I say "no", but they look at me with a "You're kidding" look on their face. I just never knew what to do with a myspace. I could put personal stuff or things I like on it, but who cares? Also, I'm not a very ( Read more... )

Last Friday was an interesting one.

That day I was going in for an interview. My alarm rang at 4:00am, and I couldn't sleep afterwards. Periodically during the morning, I had moments of sleep intermixed with moments of insomnia. I get a phone call from my interviewer asking me to move up the interview time from 3:00pm to 1:45pm.  Okay, I thought. I ( Read more... )
