Go To BEd!

It's time for bEd! Go to bed! I had fun tonight and won, which is always a good thing! It was nice to see my 'special friend'!

Waiting, ARGH

I'm waiting to leave to meet Jenny for pie. I hate waiting. I still have....half an hour before I can leave. Maybe I'm just bored. I don't feel like doing anything on the computer; I don't feel like watching tv, and I certainly don't feel like cleaning.

Rejection!

I just got a rejection letter within ten minutes of applying for a job online. Wow; that's a new record.

Home Alone

That Onion article that talks about the way people behave when they're home alone is spot-on. I am in a silly mood just randomly spinning around on my chair, making weird noises, and singing Mama Mia. What the...?!

Ew!

I really shouldn't have opened the mini blinds in the office: now I can see how dusty they are. Yuck!

too much time for thinking!

Today's interview is at 2:30. That leaves a lot of time for worrying. I don't want to go because of...well, I can concoct several reasons, but I know to go. I'm just concerned that it's going to be NO money at all if I get the job. But I guess that's getting ahead of myself. It looks like they have good benefits. I hate reading up on companies before interviews. I feel dumb because a lot of the time after reading their websites, I still have no idea what they do! I don't want to wear a suit, so I'm going to wear nice pants and a sweater; I hope that's okay. I hope my pants button today!

Done.

Well, today's work is done, and I'm back home. That was fast. Now I wait to hear when they need me again. It may go permanent (gotta see Haiku Tunnel), but I just asked the agency if I could get more money; It's such a pittance. Pathetic pittance. But yAY for any money!!

Lazy

Wow, what a lazy weekend. I'm kind of loving it though. One day of work: whoo, I'm beat. I go back Monday....if I can get up to the floor that is. You need a card for the elevator, which I don't have. And another temp is the only person who's going to be there. I hope I'll be able to get a hold of her. It's a tiny office; I like just working with one person. The two partners seem to show up now and then (well, I've only met one so far). The work is going to destroy my eyes. It is proofreading, but not what I expected. Proofreading for correct data, not for grammatical and spelling errors; that's what I was expecting. Okay, back to not thinking about work. I stayed in bed until 5 today. What is wrong with me?! So now I'm having breakfast: peanut butter Cheerios (which are awesome, by the way), and coffee from the French press. Have a good weekend, all you non-existent readers. I might as well say, bye for now, diary. Or bye for now, Nicole.

I got a temp job!

I'm starting a temp job today; today may be the only day, or it may continue. Crap pay, but better than nothing. Doing proofreading. Wish me luck!

Cautious optimism

Hurray that I had an interview today with a new temp agency. They were very nice, and I Feel good that they may find something for me. It may be temp, but still. AND I got in touch with another temp agency that I've worked with fairly recently, but I haven't heard from them in a while. It turns out that I was inactive in their system. So I heard from someone new who made me active and thanked me for letting her know I'm still looking. So it's almost like I had two interviews today because there are two places looking for me that were not previously (and I thought they were!) Next interview: Tuesday.

Two interviews

interview at a temp agency tomorrow, and at another place Tuesday.

How?

How did I go for so long without watching "Between Two Ferns"? I feel so dumb. It's so funny. I'm making up for lost time now. So far, I like the Bruce Willis one best. I think he's pretty much doing something similar to Glick, and it's no where near as good as that, but it's still funny. Now I wanna watch Glick. I need to find that DVD; well, I'll watch more of these first.

SAD

I saw a dead cat outside of Chipotle today. The image keeps creeping into my head. It's So sad.

Lazy Sunday

I just woke up at 4:30 today. ugh!

Girl Scout Cookies!

They have arrived with Zoe. Now I just have to find a time to go get them and pay for them. Maybe Saturday...I also have to figure out whether or not to go to see Flamenco guitar with mom that night. It's a $15 cover charge, which I don't really want to pay, but it also sounds fun...

Perception: TED Talk

productivity

I finally called and made an appointment to have my teeth cleaned. I'm embarrassed to say that it's been a few years. Yick! I think three years? Anyway, next week. Hurray. and It's nice to have a new toothbrush too. Wow, pretty thrilling right?

Productivity and the Opera

I was productive today, and that feels good. The Lyric Opera is offering $39 tickets to Wednesday's performance of La Clemenza di Tito. I've never heard of it, but it's Mozart. My mom doesn't want to go. If I can find someone to go with, maybe I'll go, but most likely, I won't. I'll even have $20 for going to help mom with computer stuff tomorrow.
