I just can't stay here any longer. I've done what I can; there's an essay/series of essays/fucking enormous BOOK forthcoming, but this has got to End. Sometimes I think I'm going to lose my mind in this cube. If it weren't for gchat and surreptitious pricing of '86 mets replica jerseys (that I will never be able to afford) - I don't know what would ( Read more... )

I'll be your job search coach. You must be saved!

let's DO this.

I'll be out of the country until June 21. Call me when I get back. Until then, look at my school's website. They have a lot of job searching resources at http://wagner.nyu.edu/careers/resources/howto.php .

"...and these singalong songs'll be our Scriptures" amillionandone May 29 2008, 17:56:39 UTC

so it's the next-to-last day of my current job, and if it wasn't for the new Hold Steady single, I'd probably be jumping out the window with you.
I don't know your feelings about THS, but go here:

and about 14:40 in, they play a song called "Stay Positive." First chorus hits at 16:00. If that doesn't make you feel better, I'm out of ideas...

thank you, thank you. and doubly thank you for allowing me to start with the chorus. ha ha ha....

urgent dispatch: i think santa is here a bit early for salute to israel. he's guzzling flavia in the "pantry." also, he's siring someone.

a giant BAH to firewalls. i would collapse at work without gmail, i swear to god. i am already caught in a spin cycle of ennui and burning, fulminating rage as it is. i must escape before i succumb to whatever drooling mindless coworker custom befits the particular culture of my workplace.

and yes, there has been a dude on that show once or twice. or perhaps on its even more sinister cousin show "how do i look?" which always makes me want to open a fucking vein.

louie_ludwig May 30 2008, 14:35:05 UTC

open a fucking vein. yeah, that's about right. at least we have a mets game tonight. hopefully that won't bring us to open another fucking vein.

remember the days when hovering around .490 was hopeful? this season just goes to show - you get your hopes up and you get hurt. my expectations are always too high. etc etc etc etc.

I saw a dude on it. This couple was going to get married and they had both nommed? each other? Or maybe the dude nommed his fiance and then the hosts were like nuh-uh, you're getting made over too.

It's not as bad as xtreme makeover home edition though, where they gave a 15 year old with azbergers (sp)a room entirely themed on the speed racer movie complete with a really crappy race car "replica" (not really, at all) bed, thus ruining his chance of ever dating anyone in high school.
