Yes, that's right. I finally got a job. And, even better, it was the job I wanted the most. I've been doing a happy dance for the last hour or so. I am so relieved and so happy right now. I can pay the rent! I can buy real food! I can go shopping (for new books)! And, I actually have to call and cancel two interviews now. I got a call this morning for a second interview at one office, and a call for a first interview at another. For everyone who sent me happy vibes, good wis...

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down -- and the sun only shines on Monday. ******************* If no two people are exactly alike, then there can be only one normal person in the world. And guess what! I call it first! ******************** Imagine that you are in charge of a hotel, with an infinite number of rooms. Then imagine that an infinite sized bus shows up with an infinite number of people in it. Now imagine that, after you check in the infinite number of people an...

As you may or may not know, I decided to get back on the online dating websites. I've gotten some winks and some messages... but most are from guys too far away, too old or just not my type. However, it was nice and a bit of a confidence booster. But then, this guy winked at me. He was cute, tall, seemed to be a close to my type. So, I winked back. He went back through my profile, found my hint about my xanga and messaged me. I emailed him back, and now we're instant messaging. So...

I had a second interview today and I was told that I would hear about the job by the end of the day. End of the day comes, and they haven't made up their minds yet! I mean, come on! It's a freaking secretary position! It's not like I'm running the department or anything! Okay, got that out of my system. Apparently, I'm still in their top whatever, and I should know within a few days. So, if you don't mind stepping up the animal sacrifices to bigger animals, I would appreciate it. ...

Since I moved, I decided to get back on the online dating sites. I had taken myself off of them last February, since I didn't really have time (and I thought I had possibly met someone). Now, I have free time and no one in my life, so I thought I would try again. So far I've gotten winks and messages from men who are too old, too far away or a severe dislike of grammar and punctuation. Obviously, they're not reading my profile. Such a shame, really. My father's suggested I join so...

I went to the drive in this past Friday to watch Pirates 3 "At World's End" with some friends. I wasn't expecting much... and not much is exactly what I got. The plot was ludicrous in a "I'm sorry, but I can't suspend this much disbelief" kinda way, and in a non-interesting way. Monster pirates are fine, but the characters deviated from previous behaviors and far from normal human behavior. It started out sad and didn't get much better... ever. The ending was a huge disappointment, and...

After the groovy advice of my fellow JUsers, I decided to have a little chat with my roommate. I told her that it made me uncomfortable when people commented on my weight... even if they were complementing me. I didn't say anything about her doing, just people in general, but I'm sure she got the hint. Then, I mentioned that I didn't appreciate her commenting on my food choices. I managed to say it in a nice, non-accusatory way and she said she completely understood. Then, as she was...

So, after I was thinking that I am a loser because the secretary job never called me back, I finally heard back from them. They've narrowed the pool to three choices... and I'm in the top 3! I go back for a second interview on Monday around 10:30. Then, on top of all that, I got a call from another department on campus, and they want to interview me on Monday at noon! So, I went from feeling like a loser, to having a second interview and an interview at another department. I am, needless...

I don't understand people's obsession with weight loss! I've talked about this before, and it is quite likely that I will talk about it again, but I really feel as though I have to talk about it now. You see, at the beginning of this year, I took all the anger/rage/hatred I had for my ex and channeled it into exercise. I lost a little over 20 lbs. I felt better -- not only because I was healthier, but because I was finding a positive outlet for my negative emotions. But then, people st...

I interviewed for a pretty good job last week, and I'm supposed to hear back from it today. It's 10:30 and I haven't heard anything yet. I'm stressing out so much that it's making me feel yucky. I really, really, really need a job and so far, I'm having zero luck... which is strange because I have plenty of work experience, I'm a good person, smart, hard-working, yadda yadda yadda... but nothing has come up for me yet. I would really prefer to be asleep right now, but I kept having nightm...

There are about ten people in my living room right now -- four of whom I never wanted to see again in this life or the next. I don't want them here, but they are my roommate's guests and, because I'm trying to be nice, I can't be the bitch I want to be. So, instead of going out and making a scene, I'm sitting quietly in my room. I can't leave, because I don't want to be seen by them. I don't want them to remember I'm here, because then I'll have to put on a mask I don't feel strong enough...
