So for those of you who don't know, I'm still technically unemployed. (It's only been... a month and a half? Okay... maybe closer to two... but my resume doesn't say my last internship ended at the beginning of May, not the end, so fuck it.) I haven't even managed to bag an interview for the multitude of jobs that I've applied for. Except for that ( Read more... )

Alright, so yesterday wasn't as great as the first day. Lately the other intern and I have just been doing comparative reading, and since I came in when the two bosses were busy with individual projects (and one of them getting ready to get married this weekend), there hasn't been too much for me to do. There's the occasional corrections that I ( Read more... )

My first day of work was today. :) For anyone who happens to know the layout of London (Marl), I work near Old Street Station, on Curtain Road. It looks kind of like a trashier part of town, but I like it dammit! I work above a bar, which makes me laugh, and across the street from a REALLY cheap diner, for which I'm grateful ( Read more... )

Went to work at 9 am today, and once again, no one showed up. Not my bosses, and no co-workers (most don't come in for a couple of hours after me). They also failed to call me to let me know if they were running late or just not coming. But they seem to have taken to hiding the key under a box in the hallway, so I found that, unlocked the bosses ( Read more... )

I have yet to sign up for a move-in date. But I plan on arriving on the 24th. On the one hand I want to go, but on the other hand I don't. Especially when I think about the fact that school won't start for about a week afterward and my friends won't move into their apartments for a couple days afterward (I think). What the hell am I going to do ( Read more... )

My mom told me after work today that she got a call from my supervisor, who started by saying, "This isn't between a supervisor and a manager, let's talk Jennifer to Maria."

And my mom thought, Oh God, my daughter's getting fired. (I swear, my mom has absolutely no faith in me. I kid, I kid...) And then Jennifer continued with: "I just love ( Read more... )

I haven't updated lately. Mainly because I work a lot now and I'm constantly tiredI signed up for overtime for last Saturday, so half the weekend was spent working. And I'm an overeager little pup, so I signed up for overtime all this week. 7 am to 7 pm for the rest of the week. I restrained myself from signing up for Saturday again because my ( Read more... )

So instead of working on that short story and listening to good music, I decided to get cracking looking for publishing internships instead. I now have a pile of printed paper next to me and I feel slightly overwhelmed ( Read more... )

I got an A on my Bio final (which surprised the hell out of me), a B in the class (when I was only hoping for a C) and that makes me feel pretty damn good.

But that isn't everything.

In the three days I've been here, I've managed to bag myself a full-time job that pays nine dollars an hour. Nice.But until I start work, this house has no food in ( Read more... )
