Got a job as an assistant editor for an ad company, been working there two+ weeks but they're really struggling financially (and with some other major issues) so we're sort of expecting the company to go belly-up any day now ( Read more... )

Another day, another bunch of job applications sent off. That paranoid moment when you fear that employers disregard your application because you've got an unusual name and they might think you're some dirty furriner. I mean, that might not be the issue with me at all - I've got a pretty "safe" Germanic and English name anyway. I still take care to ( Read more... )

I'm working on my resumé, and I suddenly realize I'm supposed to say what my bachelor thesis was about.

I had to restrain myself from putting down "Thesis: HOW PIPPIN THE YOUNGER WAS AWESOME." (I instead opted for the slightly more formal but way less exciting "Analysis of the relationship between Church and State in Eighth Century France ( Read more... )

Nyagh. Haven't done my daily quota of TP questions today since my mind is completely occupied with my bachelor thesis (the first presentation is due Monday, you know). Ah, I guess I'll have to double my workload tomorrow ( Read more... )

Starting to run slightly out of steam on the Trivial Pursuit gig. I'm roughly halfway and doing good, but it gets slightly harder each day to find things to ask about. But then suddenly I can remember some thing I LOVE WITH THE FURY OF A THOUSAND SUNS and I have to stop myself from writing half a million questions about them ( Read more... )

I've been to the info meeting, fired off an e-mail to my student councilor, bought dinner for the next three days AND written more than my daily quota of TP questions. In summary: I've calmed the fuck down for now. Time for stupid observations.

You know that new movie of Polanski's, Ghost writer? I haven't seen it yet but I've noticed the ( Read more... )
