Two interviews down, four to go. I'm doing a daytrip (*headdesk*) up to Pittsburgh tomorrow for one interview, one will be on the phone, and two have not been scheduled yet. It's very exciting. And by exciting, I mean nerve-wracking.

Further updates will be available later this weekend, after I get back.

You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their lives, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute! Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating THAT PERSON? Since when?" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ( Read more... )

Finally went over to Borders to see whether I still have a job and--surprisingly--I do. And, in the time I was gone, the Boss was able to fire CafeBoss and replace him, so that means I no longer have to do the spy gal deal. And I'm going to be able to get good (re)training at another store, so when I go back to work I'll actually know what I'm ( Read more... )

Or dots. :P

Mood seems to be much better. Have gotten over my head cold (who gets a cold in 90 degree summer weather? I do!). Going to try to sort out the Borders situation soon; hopefully, they'll be willing to take me back, and then I'll have a job.

Job interview today. If I'm very, very lucky I'll have a job when I walk out. If I'm somewhat lucky, they'll still have to call my references.

I'd really, really like to have a paying job soon. My plans for the next six months kind of hinge on it. A lot.

Eep.

In the middle of March, I went to New York City for about a week. The family was there for the first few days, and then I stayed at triannamaxwell's apartment and got to see a bit more of the city on my own ( Read more... )

So, I just finished filling out two job applications, with two more lined up to fill out in two weeks or so if I don't hear from the first two. I'm trying, okay?

My birthday's on Monday.

A job would be a lovely birthday present. Really.

Here's hoping,

Have been having nightmares the last few days of being in my house and there being monsters or robbers or [insert fantastical whatever here] trying to get in. I don't need a dream dictionary or a shrink to translate them.

It's clear my subconscious is worried about leaving my comfort zone. The house is safe, not somewhere I'm trapped ( Read more... )

Very good day, particularly considering how bad the last few were. Will be less vague in the morning, I'm sleepy now.

aka the aforementioned RL update

Things have settled down, finally. I started a new medication, which might help with my mood, and also might help fix the fact that I'm always freezing; apparently my thyroid function was on the low side of normal, and bringing that up might solve two problems. Hopefully. Also, I've learned that my cholesterol and ( Read more... )
