Art Under the Bridge

Even by spinster standards, two days is a long time to go without receiving one phone call. I knew the phone was working though. Life has taught me that when people don't call (okay, when men don't call back) it is never because they are lying in a ditch (contrary to the fantasies of so many single women). Despite this knowledge, during the 48th ( Read more... )

congrats on the job!

Thank you, thank you! I do feel fortunate to have found something despite the fact that, upon being laid off, I abandoned a job search in favor of a trip to Mexico.

i think going to mexico after being laid off was the only option. truly. because you got a job not too long after...the only way to do it.

I hope your first day at the new job is a good one. While daunting, the new job gives new opportunity, a fresh start, and new perspectives.... And it will help afford General Jr. ;-)
Best of LUCK!~~

Thanks doll. I know I need an attitude adjustment. I just fucking hate being the new kid. I hate it!

ha! they really shut down your debit card?

welcome back to the world of the employed! if you feel the need to cry during the first week (i won't try and fool you... the transition can be merciless), just try and make it to the safety of a bathroom stall first. no one wants to welcome a sobbing mess into the fold.

Affirmative. The debit card was shut down even after I assured them that it wasn't fraud. Apparently I'd reached my maximum daily spending limit. Nice.

Thank you for making me feel okay about the sobbing. I wish I was lying when I say that dahliamoon wasn't just on the recieving end of my crying fest, but she was. I meant to subject her to it much earlier in the day, from the privacy of my Volvo during lunch, but was thwarted by a team outting.

PS: Tell me it's going to get better.

ms_pooka October 19 2004, 09:28:06 UTC

of course it gets better! why, just look at me. now of course part of the relief comes after the first week when you begin re-assuming a state of complacency, but i can honestly say that i have more drive now to actually change my "career" than i ever have. this will just pay the bills in the meantime. right? god, please tell me i'm right!

NOT THE GENERAL!!! NOOOO!!!!

Did the cats REALLY chew through the phone cord? Are we to honestly implicate Bentz in this? Come now, not our sweet, sweet Bentz...

Congrats on entering slavery again!

I thought maybe my new cell was broken when I didn't get any calls for almost a WEEK.

Target is a vortex of evil. I don't think I've ever walked out of there with less than $100 worth of crap.
