Okay so seriously, who knew looking for work was such a pain? 
I really need to find a job though. I have had two job interviews so far. One I am fairly interested in and one I am not so sure how interested I am in it.
Yesterday I hit it pretty hard spamming the old resume/application out to 6 different jobs. One or Two...

jobs suck. money sucks. i want to move to vermont and grow corn.
Nothing much to report. Enjoying my new found freedom in unemployment. Been applying for unemployment benefits, reading/reviewing and sending in my severance package. Networking with others that were laid off, seeking out some of my friends that are recruters and hitting up other friends in the business to look out for good jobs for me.
I actually have a interview tomorrow with a company I...

Good luck on that. I know it's already happened. So did it go well.
I can't believe how much you're used to making. I averaged $21,000 last year and that's because I'm pulling two jobs. Jesus Christ. Obvisiouly I'm doing something wrong. But hey, I just got a raise from Safeway from $8.07 to $8.36 and Mallard Landing from $8.76 to $9.01. Sadly I've been with Safeway for 3 years in January. This month is a year with Mallard. Unions are fucking bullshit!
Take care and good luck in your search.

Well survived my oncall week without too much scarring... 
Except Sunday when I basically worked from 7:30am to 4:30 am..
uggghhhhh.. 
I think I only really recovered from that today.
Going to Vegas next week. Woo Hoo. Never been so it will be an adventure. This week? Enjoying the 80 degree Autum days in the last days of Summer in the ol' convertible.

Mrowr.

Hmmm... did we meet at a bbq recently? I was hanging with a bunch of architects the week after 4th of july. They seem to be a small community here.
Do you go to temple for your buddhism or is it a self practice?
Hey sorry for taking so long to get back to you, I'm rarely on SG anymore.
Yeah, it was probably me, but with short hair.
My Buddhism is mostly a self practice, part of that is due to the lack of Theravadin temples in Portland. There are some Vipassana groups, but that's not all that I'm looking for. I have visited Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery in CA, which is Theravadin in the Thai Forest Tradition.. My husband is also a Buddhist, and better read than me, so we bounce a lot off eachother.
Thanks for remembering me!
Labor Day Weekend and mostly things are quiet. Had some friends over for dinner on Thursday night, went to a little party at the Be Complex in Old Town on Friday night... that was rather surreal. I have not been down in that area much since I moved out of there and it has all changed soooo much. It was all drug addicts, hookers and...

3 job interviews in 6 months and no luck yet. Sigh.... big heavy sigh....

This was the last year at the Reserve and it will be at Crosswater (Sunriver) next year.
What kind of job are you looking for? I'm in the same situation myself and it sucks.

getting a job here is hard. it took me a long time. it was frustrating and it made me feel like a loser.....boo.
You know this whole internet thing is so new I don't think we really know how it will effect or change our culture over any sort of significant period of time... but what is interesting to think about is that it is entirely possible that much if not all of the stuff that I have written across various computer systems, on blogs, usenet, email (corporate,...

The Dog House is that little hot dog stand in the parking lot where Wild Oats is on E Burnside. They have a yummy vegan chili dog.
Sucks about the car crash. Are you feeling better?

aren't you sweet. i got it done anyway i think. it just took five people and about three hours.
Two blinds up... on my way. 7 more ordered from Home Depot but probably about 2 weeks till they are here and installed. Hopefully no more heat waves till then!
We are debating the blinds for the living/dining room still but I think we have it narrowed down. Just gotta come up with the cash.
Thursday we were out for Last Thursday up on Alberta....
