So, I've been hired to work in the HR department at my dad's company, so this week has been one of those Last Week of Freedom type deals. It'll be another 8-5 job, unfortunately, but the work shouldn't be beyond my abilities, one of the two ladies I'll be working for is very pleasant (haven't met the other yet), and it will be pretty great indeed ( Read more... )

Ah, well, had a great time down at the gay rights rally in DC. It was muggy and humid as hell, but it didn't rain, and since we were standing in an open area for about three hours, I was actually happy for the clouds because straight sunshine would've been brutal. It wasn't a huge event, but there were a lot of really great speakers and it's ( Read more... )

I've had such a strange day. At least, starting around noon. That's when my mom called to tell me to make myself scarce as people were coming to look at the house (I mentioned it was put on the market, didn't I?) between 1:30 and 2:30. When I was going to answer the phone, I tripped and broke the strap on one of the flip flops I was wearing. So ( Read more... )

1. ( TV stuff, cast spoilers )

Hey, sorry so quiet lately. The birthday was very pleasant, my boss and some co-workers came for a visit around lunch, and I went out to dinner with the folks. That's about it. Oh, and I got a haircut a couple days ago. It might be a little on the Mom Hair side of things, since my mom took me to the same lady she goes to (god I miss my car), ( Read more... )

a. Kind of cool developments at work: I actually interviewed someone for an admin position last week. I think I've decided that, since as the senior admin I would be more or less responsible for the person that was hired, my deciding factor if I do any more interviews will be, "How likely is it that this person's work or behavior at work will ( Read more... )

I've been on Twitter sporadically for work purposes over the last week or so. I'm not a fan. I don't really understand how it works, and more than that I don't like how it plays into our collective laziness and self-absorption. For example, one page had a single entry, which read "can't sleep". Yeah. Going through random Twitter pages (again, ( Read more... )

I've been doing a lot of research on local companies recently, and that has involved going through a list of all the companies on CareerBuilder (argh). So far, I've come across some really interesting ones ( Read more... )

MY OFFICE IS CLOSED TOMORROW!!! Eeeee! I'm so happy you don't even know! I was seriously considering taking off tomorrow, making up some lie about my street not being plowed (it actually wasn't for most of today, and only my stepdad's jeep could get through the 20+ inches of snow that's been dumped on us), but now I don't have to! At the very ( Read more... )

Sweet god in heaven that was the worst traffic I've experienced in my life. I made it out of work at 5:07-ish. Didn't pull up at home until 6:45. I don't think I did over 40mph for more than twenty minutes of that. Ten minutes. Jesus.

Anyway, on to the post I was going to make before that unfortunate event. It all seems rather stupid now, ( Read more... )
