I've not been at all posty lately, have I? There's not been much to post about, really. Without school or work the days all seem to flow together. Most mornings are spent studying, penghuin and I often watch a couple of episodes of one of the three television shows we're watching, we make dinner, and we play a lot of Text Twirl on Facebook. Those are ( Read more... )

I found out today that I did not get the job I interviewed for last week. I'm both disappointed and, not exactly relieved, but okay with it. Disappointed because I think the office environment would have been a good fit for me, I know I could do the job and do it well, and the money was not bad. Okay because dear god, the commute ( Read more... )

I had to put yesterday's job interview off until today, so today was interview day. I think it went really well. I liked the interviewer, who is one of the owners of the company, and I think my personality would be a good fit for the office. I know I have the skills and experience to do the job well, and I think it's work that I would enjoy, as ( Read more... )

I have a job interview on Thursday for an admin assistant position. The woman I talked to on the phone seemed very nice, and the company seems well established and a place I could be okay working, based on what I've seen on their web site. The downside is that it's not terribly nearby, and it pays considerably less than I'd have made in a similar ( Read more... )

I just spent two hours filling out a staffing agency's online resume and application form. Two hours. You know what's coming next, don't you? Oh yes. The information was all lost when I clicked "Submit." All three times, in two different browsers. The only thing I accomplished in those two hours was to make my preferred user name unavailable ( Read more... )

It's not often that I find myself in my coworker's office, on my knees under his desk, wishing I had kneepads, but it happened today ( Read more... )

Dear god, I have fabulous hair. That's a mostly ego-free statement, too, because I have nothing to do with it. It's all my hair angel, B. She is absolutely amazing with color, and I have never in my life been happier with the color of my hair. Tomorrow I see my hair god, M, and will be even more fabulous after that. Again, I have nothing to do ( Read more... )

I meant to call shinigumi last night but didn't get to it. I'll be calling her tonight to ask about paperweight transformation options. I miss my computer. I can turn it on, but after about two minutes it turns itself right back off. Dear god, that is so frustrating. It's teasing me, the bastard. And not in a good way.

I have been communicating, as buscemi ( Read more... )

I told murnkay today that I am the Spreadsheet Queen, and he asked if that was like being the Dancing Queen. It is!

Spend analytics reporting. What a refreshing middle-of-the-week break from quarterly business reports and value analysis reports! I am one with the spreadsheet, and, as I am sure you've noticed, overcome with joy.

How are you doing today, my little FriendBots?
