Man, there is so nothing to do today. When we're looking through the weekend event-listings and the big thing is an RV show and similar, it's pretty dim situation. If we all had a ton of money, we could go see Cirque de Soleil, but well, at like $50-65 a ticket, that's a big no.
Blah.
Mkay then...this sucks. Looks like we're off to see a movie maybe.
Yeah, I've been a slacker on updating this in a timely manner - I'm running several days late on getting pics and such up. Eep. Sorry. Anyway, I wanted to show off the pics of the lovely flowers my Love bought me the other day, so I finally got around to uploading them off my camera and here they are. :)
Was supposed to go over to my friend's mom's house yesterday to help her with learning ACT! (I created her database for her, and now I just need to get it set up and show her how to use it) but I never heard from my friend. I stayed off the net all day too waiting to see if he'd call to arrange for me to get over there. (My Love has my car during the day because his is still not fixed so I'd need a ride to get to his mom's house). Actually, I haven't heard from him in days so I hope nothing's wrong. Need to reschedule obviously at this point, since I never heard from anyone yesterday.
Um....haven't gotten a call back or anything from my interview on Monday. She said she expected to call people by the end of the week, so I probably aren't in the running. Most likely had to do with something asinine like those questions on their bullshit "personality test" - which I bitched about the other day. Eh. I guess I'm at a point where I'm not taking it personal anymore. It sorta seems like this is just the way the game is played - I go on an interview once every other week or so, I don't get the job, rinse and repeat. Blah. Actually, ideally, I want to work part time. I just can't honestly say to myself I can face working 8-5 again, it's just too damned much for me. Something, even six years later, I've never managed to get used to. Physically, emotionally, mentally - I just get so burnt out from it. I can feel it taking years off my life when I have to work those types of hours. Besides, what I want to do is work part time - help bring in enough money to cover some bills, leaving us more money to enjoy ourselves - and have time for me to go to school. So I can get certified in web design, or something similar and work either freelance for myself - making my OWN HOURS - or at least getting a job at a place that's more suited to me and my nature. Artists don't thrive in corporate cages, and as much as I balk at the lofty title of artist, I really am one.
*shrugs*
Anyway, there's really nothing else to ramble out, so ttfn.
Um. Nothing really to blather about at the moment. Just wanted to let everyone know I finally got around to putting up a few pics from the Halloween Party my Love and I went to. Go take a peek. Everyone had some pretty cool costumes - it was a vampire theme party. Groovy.
Um. *thinks* Well, nothing going on in my life really so nothing really to mention. So....that's it for now. ttfn
My Love came home tonight with food, dessert, Godiva and flowers for me (just because). I love him so much! :) Lovehimlovehimlovehim! *smiles* Pics later or tomorrow.
:: Sunday, November 3, 2002 :: My Love, Rand and I went to a bookfair. It's an annual event, but I had never been to it before. It's on a beautiful college campus and was well worth the drive to get there. We had tried to head down on Saturday - was 30 minutes down the road before we got a call from another friend that it was Sunday only - so on Saturday we opted to go eat at Cracker Barrel since it's kinda far normally and we were already halfway there. (mm...cracker barrel is freakin' good. and cheap) So...anyway, it was fun. We all spent a couple bucks (except Rand who spend a lot of bucks on a really cool 1912 Joan of Arc book) and got some neat stuff.
The grounds were beautiful too, so I took some pics.
After that, we came home, watched Spiderman on DVD and called it a night. It was a nice day though. I had a lot of fun. The weather wasn't so bad (low 80's though the sun was hot and I got a little pinked from it) and it was nice to just get out and do something. Free admission, cheap prices, it was great.
:: Today, Monday, November 4th, 2002 :: Ok, the damned header will say Tuesday already, but I haven't gone to bed yet, which makes it still Monday in my book. :)
Had an interview today. Sooooo boring. Get there at 2pm. Have like 10 pages of application to fill out. Ok, done. Then I have a 211 question "personality test" I have to take. It's True or False only and lame-ass statements like this: I would enjoy scuba diving. My apperence is important to me. I get angry sometimes. People are not often as nice as they appear to be. I was able to go to my parents when I had problems as a child. I get headaches often. And other crap like that. And then, they kept repeating them - the same things over and over only stated in different ways. Some of them pissed me off because they were very loaded questions. They ranged from the simple about scuba (where sure I'd like to but my inner ear is fucked up and so, no I can't) to the slightly more unfair (do I get headaches? Well yes, but only because I've been fucking diganosed with Migraines for the last 10 years of my life. That's like asking someone about a disability and using it against them) to the extreme of childhood/parental ones (hello? None of your fucking business. I was beat up by my biological father so asking me loaded questions about how much I love my parents and such is none of your god-damned business). The whole thing disgusted me.
Then, I finish that at about 2:35pm. I proceed to sit there, in the hallway until 3:10pm until she calls me. Then, all she does is print up a list of questions from the computer and dead-cold reads them to me. Detail your experience in handling files. Why did you apply here? Crap like that. I dunno, hrm...I need a job, you need someone with my skills, figure it out! So, I'm trying to put in accomplishments into what I'm saying, but she's only interested in taking notes on things like, "I. have. five. years. experience. using. MS. Office." Blah. So, she said she'd call me by the end of the week to let me know if I'm moving on to round two of interviews.
To be honest, I have no freakin' idea how I did. lol I got annoyed with a LOT of their bullshit "by-the-book" way of doing things - and it was just the interview - so who knows how I'll do on their testing and crap. I'm sorry, you can't peg people into those "here's how to treat your employee's by the bullshit Human Resources textbook so that they're all exactly the same and have no individuality or deviation from course" kinda deals. Seemed everything anyone's ever made fun of about the Drones of Corporate America.
Beyond that? Nada. That's about it. My Love, Rand and Jef have been playing Xbox hockey for...um...about five straight hours now as I've plugged - SLOWLY - away online getting very little done. Connection's just shit tonight - worse then normal if you can beleive that. I'm thinking it's time to beg/borrow/steal *lol* and get my cable modem back.
Anyway, neck's killing me and I've been SO distracted writing this, I've been working on it for like an hour. ttfn.
Yeah. Still no real update. Not feeling so good. First time on really in a couple days, and only to check my mail and such. My shoulder's killing me; running up my neck and just generally making me miserable. It's the right shoulder - the one which I went for x-rays right before I lost my insurance and never got the results for. It makes horrid bone-grinding-on-bone noises whenever it moves and violently (and loudly) pops into and out of place whenever I rotate it. The doctor was quite concerned just over the noises it made (he wanted me to see an orthopedic specialist after the x-rays but that didn't happen either). Of course, that was back in April so *shrugs* it's probably worse now since it's certainly not better. All day today it's been just aching and it sucks. He had given me a prescription for it - something called Vioxx which has to do with joint/arthritic type pain relief - and though it never worked in the past, I pulled it out anyway and tried again. Still nothing. Sucks.
Halloween was ok; not as exciting as I was hoping. Got off to a rough start; my Love's makeup/costume (a nosferatu complete with bald cap and ears and everything) didn't work out at all. Of course, we spent hours trying to get it to work to no avail. The whole thing was REALLY frustrating, and a huge waste of time. I got sick to my stomach - again, it seems I've been sick to my stomach pretty much everyday for a couple weeks now (I ran through all the pepto in the house last week - been eating it like candy) - so we didn't even get over to my friend's house until 9:30pm or so. We left at about midnight and didn't really do anything but sit around. Kinda a let-down. :(
Anyway, typing is not helping and I've been on longer then I wanted to be anyway, so I'm closing out here. g'night
