Well, after a less than stellar year to begin with, 2010 decided to end as horribly as possible, with me stuck in NYC for an extra week due to the blizzard and travel clusterfuck. That means I lost a week's worth of pay. Ugh. So fucking pissed off whenever I think of that.

Once I got over that (which I never did, but okay) it wasn't so horrible ( Read more... )

So, my tenure here at DW didn't last as long as I had thought it would. But oh well. Anyway, previously on Julia, I was applying to USC and Michigan. Neither one even wanted to interview me. Poop. So I decided to apply to second tier schools. I picked Illinois and Wisconsin. Illinois's deadline was right around when I made this decision, so I ( Read more... )

I had another interview today. Somewhere else. Somewhere totally fucking awesome. Somewhere I have been wanting to work for a very long time. Somewhere where the pay is shit, the hours are long, and the abuse is high, but I want to work there anyway. The interview was very last minute. I got a call at noon and went in at 4. They are interviewing ( Read more... )

The good: I had an interview today. I think it went well. It's not for something exactly in the field I want to be in, but it's at least in a place where there is mobility to a field I want to be in. And it is temp-to-perm, so hopefully I would soon have BENEFITS! INSURANCE! GAH!

The bad: If I do get a new job, I'm going to have to spend a buttload ( Read more... )

Uggggghhhhhh. I think I'm getting sick. I powered through and shredded anyway today, though that may have been a mistake. But fuck it. And I'll power through and go to work tomorrow, too. I just need to stop somewhere and pick up a metric ton of vitamin C and zinc. And Dayquil. And probably a lot of pain killers, too.

 So, I'm nearly halfway through the 30 Day Shred. I'm not really feeling a difference, but I know it usually takes a while until your body starts to acknowledge the fact that you have decide you don't want to be a fat slob anymore. I have over 2 months to go until the dreaded wedding, but I'm concerned that won't be enough time to fit in my dress. ( Read more... )

(I feel like if I'm actually going to use DW I should get some more icons. But... effort.)

Honestly, I kind of don't want to know who wins tonight. It's going to be depressing, I know, so I'm just sticking to watching the California results, and trying to tune out everything else. I accidentally saw on Twitter that Feingold lost, and that has me ( Read more... )

I have submitted my second and last application for the first round. Two schools, $350. It's insane. But it's over and there's nothing I can do to change it now, so all I can do is wait.

While I wait, I watch TV. I just watched The Walking Dead. The first half hour was everything I hate about zombie movies - one guy alone. It's the lack of other ( Read more... )

So much pain. I need better painkillers, I think. I'm stuck with Tylenol, which I hate. Must go get some Ibuprofen.

It's all for a good cause, I know, but how long do I have to do this before my muscles remember that they are supposed to work and stop hurting?

So, my sister is getting married in 79 days. That's the day after Christmas for those who don't want to do the math. In NYC. Ugh. I hate that bitch ( Read more... )
