So I'd just like to say that while I really do want to work for the federal government (for a few reasons), it's not that much fun applying for a federal job. Some jobs, you submit a cover letter and a resume...some other jobs, just a resume...others, just an application...you get the idea ( Read more... )

This was inspired by a post on Alex's journal about problems with democracy. I agreed with her post, and in writing this comment, I decided to inflict my opinion on a wider audience ( Read more... )

EDIT: Oh, did I not mention that Patrick is a big stuffed starfish and Bill is a Halloween balloon shaped like a bat? Tee hee.

It's finally sort of cold here! Woohoo! To reference my previous entry, I can finally wear scarves without feeling like a moron. And it helps that my class gets out at 10:40 pm, and I don't get home until after midnight, by which point it is about as cold as it gets ( Read more... )

Maybe I'll start updating here again. Maybe I won't keep it up, but I'll start. Although now isn't really a practical time, since it's about 1:00 in the morning and I'm tired and about to fall asleep ( Read more... )
