I really haven't been filling in the whole details of my life for the past couple of weeks. I think I last left off with me living in Tempe with a stack of job applications, but an apartment. Well, shortly after I wrote that post Janel's parents came to me with an offer. The offer was that I move in with them into the house and that I housesit ( Read more... )

So, that job was for the birds. Is that the saying? Yeah, I quit PIRG on Friday and I couldn't have felt happier for all of two days. The potential to do well at that job is there, but I had a hard time checking my soul at the door. I did well at it on Wednesday and Thursday, but on Friday I earned $0.00 for all of my work, so I kept my average ( Read more... )

I have moved to Arizona and have been getting my shit together over the past several days. This is the evening that I was left alone in Janel's huge house to fend for myself while her family did the special family things at a spa about an hour from here. I should explain that this weekend is Janel's parent's 25th wedding anniversary, and to ( Read more... )

Well, I got that job. I think I carried out my whole "I am a very well-organized individual" act too far when I said that I could be in the office on Monday, June 5. I think I am going to have to push that back a few days, but I was told that would be okay. This is challenging work that has nothing to do with my major, but it might look great on ( Read more... )

Three years ago I wish I had sprung for "Mystery Science Theater 3000 The Movie" for $9.99 when I saw it at Target Or that I had bought every available copy I ever saw. Not only could I have watched the movie however many times I would've wanted to in that period, but now I'd be able to sell it at a 1300% mark-up, at least. There's a gently used ( Read more... )

The Nintendo Revolution has a new name. A very, very, stupid name. I was just starting to get my hopes up for a system, a system controlled by waving your arms in the air. A system that will probably need three or four accessory controllers to be able to play any games. I was just starting to get excited about a system that would let me play ( Read more... )

"Man I feel bad for the people who think Japan is a hotbed of quirky deviancy and wacky joy and then go over there and find out that the wacky is just spill over from having one of the most oppressive conformist cultures on Earth with really dull tv."

Okay, if you were an employer, would you hire someone who has "Learned invaluable knowledge of natural order, interconnected ecosystems" written on his resume (when talking about my pet store job)?

So I am working on papers now, and will continue to work for the next few weeks. It's madness. But meanwhile I seem to vent my frustrations by editing my resume and make it sound like some ridiculous bullshit. I'm not quite sure when I started doing this tonight, but I have now almost rewritten my resume with such gems as "mastered art of ( Read more... )
