Okay, it took me like a minute to figure out how to update my journal. 
So, now that SG is an outright dating site, do you think this will cut down on its "cool" points? Also, will this increase the "I want to have a threesome" threads on the Hookup board?
How many times have I seen people on here protesting that SG is NOT...

At my employee orientation this week, two of the four new staff I was orienting with asked me, upon finding out that I work at the grad school, if I was a new professor.
Oh my, perhaps I'm doing too good of a job dressing like an adult for the new job.
Do I look that old already?
I've also had the urge to listen...

I had to train a 15 year old to work in my store a couple of weekends ago. I have never felt so old. I got the whole head shaking you are old look from her while talking about music. Apparently having decent taste in music makes you old.

I haven't heard that album in ten years, easily. whoa.
After my high school English class finished the AP exam, my teacher brought in Ferris Bueller's Day Off for us to watch. Eight years later, I'm watching it on the ABC Family channel, observing how much they've cut it to shit, editing parts I never thought required editing. It's rather depressing. It's also really making me want to watch it in its original version. Sadly,...

They are following in their parents footsteps blindly, most likely. They haven't seen first hand the awful things that happened during 12 years of Reagan and Bush Sr. You would think seeing four years of this clown would have been enough, but some people don't actually think for themselves.
Last time, when I had a job, I still maintained a social life. I'd stay out once or twice a week until one or two, and curse my alarm in the morning when it dragged me from my deathlike slumber.
This time around, I'm trying to be smarter about it. I'm going to bed by midnight at the latest, and not going out during the...

god no. what consulting means in myy case is that I'm not really an employee of the erson I do most of my work for, that I work out of my house and I set my own hours. I'm working of r a friend of mine who is strting his own architecture firm - something I might want to do if I ever get around to getting my license.
Gmail invites! Get yer piping hot Gmail invites! I got 6 of em!
Anyone left who doesn't have a Gmail account?

Poor invites, doomed to sit in purgatory on my account. I'll shed a single tear for you.

I have gmail. It's pretty alright. How do you get invites?
hansel:
Good to know.. I should get right on that. 
Wow. 28 comments. I don't think I've ever gotten that many comments before. Thank you everyone! If I wasn't rushing off to Seattle in half an hour, I'd write you all personal replies. Who knows, if I'm not dead from exhaustion by Sunday, I still might. 
It was a great birthday. We went out for thai food, and then hit the Franz Ferdinand show. Holy...

It was Housewarming Party Mk. I. The design of the housewarming party series always intended 2-3 houeewarming parties to account for the smallness of this place! Don't worry, you're still on the list! 
troublemaker:
aw shit, I forgot to mention Air played with a full synphonic orchestra. It was abso-fuckin-mazing!
Thanks to all of you for the congratulations on my status as a working woman once again!
Now wait an hour, and then be sure to wish me happy birthday.
The new job is going well so far. I'm working in the grad school of where I attended college as an undergrad, located directly across the street from my old stomping grounds. It's a bit...

Hot damn! Congratulations! What will be taking away your undivided attention of the internet?
Why is productivity so difficult on a Sunday?
Three o'clock and all's well. The bathrobe persists, the slippers persist. The cat is more lively than me.
I know it's a day of worship. Perhaps my chosen deity is Sloth, the great god of laziness.

I seem to remember that Sloth was particularly gruesome ...
I'm almost 26 years old, so I guess it's about time to break in the ole credit cards that I've had for like 7 years. With the trusty Visa in tow, EnergyChannel and I journeyed to the Woodburn Outlet Mall, after unsuccessfully looking for work-appropriate attire here in town. $600 later, I'd say that we accomplished our goal.

I'm in debt for the first time in my life too. I feel like a real American.

you know me, my dear.
I alphabetized my favorite girls today. Because I'm a big dork.
I have an actual job interview tomorrow. I haven't been on one of these in years, so here's hoping I don't do anything stupid.

Hope it went well. Remember, they usually keep you hanging for a while even if you got it.
See you tonight?

Well, that real world mentioned in my last entry had the courtesy to caress us with the delicacy of a mack truck the morning after we returned from Sunriver. EnergyChannel's phone rang while we were still in bed. It was his boss, requesting that he come in the shop to discuss something. That something ended up being a layoff, of sorts, as EnergyChannel is...

26-28 were pretty good, 29 was a drag, 30 was the best birthday since 21 ... that's just me.
sorry to hear about EnergyChannel 's job situation. I don't know, apparently we've turned some sort of corner. Don't let it get you down.

resumes suck. i had mine online for a year, no one would call me because i do not have a college degree.
But yeah, it doesn't bother me/cut down on perceived points . I think it's just their way to plop into the myspace/friendster market.
