well, tomorrow (Monday) I find out if I got the job or not. some ways, I think I had a good interview. other ways, maybe not.
at times I think I got a little too comfortable...is that a good thing or a bad thing?
so what else? mood has been weird lately. guess its the season. yes, I hate December...here's a quick run down why:...

So come on did you get the job?
bender99:
Just remember nothing gets done quickly in a school.
well, i had the interview today. we'll see how things went. I really couldn't tell necessarily. there were four people around the table. the one had a really low cut top on and she had this necklace charm nestling in her cleavage. it was impressive!
plus she had dark hair and pale blue eyes. yes, ladies, I looked at her face, not her chest. I...

Let's face it - MUCH better than say some old guy with the greasy combover and the huge psoriasis scabs and dime sized flakes of scalp peeling off...besides, maybe she spent the whole time wondering about your package - gotta learn to think positively.
slyderule:
good luck!
well, I have now cataloged my entire CD collection...all 375 CD's. it all started by me buying 2 new CD racks. in part, I wanted a change (the old racks where wooden ones and very open). since most of the furniture in my room is black (2 bookshelves, entertainment center, and dresser...plus my storage unit/night stand is primarily black), I decided to go with black...

Good luck on the job.

and four years ago was my Day From Hell...the worst day of my life.
might talk about it again one day, but who knows.
and people wonder why I hate the holidays.

Dude.
pandara:
I'm sorry!!!
and another job posting. this one I'm somewhat qualified for. its for a transition counselor right in my area. the only "concern" I have is the requirement of 2 years experience. and the fact that its through BOCES, which is notorious for not paying well.
but its a job. and a start. so why not?

Anyway the first part of it might hold up.

I'm glad you can have peace of mind about your brakes. I'm no help on the potential job sites. Sorry.
slyderule:
I imagine you will be largely influenced by where you can get the "best" job, but are there certain areas that interest you?
well, today is my first day off, really, since Wednesday. Friday is an odd day, in part, because, well, I only work a half hour on Friday (11:30 PM is when I start). but what shall I do?
I still haven't heard anything from the one job I applied for (Pratt MWP). the tough part is the fact that I can't find any contact information...

Glad you have brakes. Brakes are a good thing....
you know, cars can definitely be a pain in the posterior! my brakes are still making that noise...but only when I first start the car. I drive a little ways (we're talking less than 1/2 a mile) and the noise is gone. researched on the internet AND talked to a mechanic who came through my line (hey, at 3 AM, you have to do something,...

I would like to work at the Culinary institute of America, that would be sweet.

CIA job sounds like a good deal - hope it comes through for you.
Don't fuck with brakes, it probably is nothing, but if it is dragging - even if just when cold - you shoud have it checked.
Lousy news about your cousin. Maybe things will get better for him.

well, still trying to figure out about my brakes. its the right front brake, a disc brake, that makes the noise when I first start the car, but it seems to disappear once I get moving/things start to warm up. mind you, I had the front brakes replaced (pads and rotors) about 10,000 miles ago. then again, the noise only started recently, when it got...

Yeah, all I know is the first for all of the following (and more) happened AFTER I was 30: waitress sitting on my lap w/no warning, waitress giving me neck/shoulder rubs, girls at the mall walking up and touching me as they were talking to me, women at the grocery store-pharmacy-etc. just chatting me up out of the blue, etc. etc.
I know it always seems harder when your NOT in a relationship, but still....
I bet if you got in the habit of chatting up three random girls a day - just simple shit, like if you are at the doctor's look at the receptionist's photo ID and how she looks now and say "Wow, you've really changed your hair since then - I like it." Simple shit like that would no doubt turn things around quickly. Make it a habit and in about a week it'd be automatic.
There's a mess of mid to late 20s to early 30s chicks who've been around the block and are now looking for someone reasonable and stable. And they understand your need for a test drive.

The boiler isn't the trouble, its how far away i live from a fire dept, hydrant or body of water. I'm in fire class unprotected. This mean the house burns to the ground before anyone shows up to put it out.
yeah, Happy Thanksgiving.
my day started this morning early on. see, I got to work 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM today.
my car has something odd...the one brake makes a weird noise when I use the brakes...but only when I first start the car. it runs a little bit and its fine. I'm kind of nervous.
so today, it was hoping to be a quiet...

possibly ice or rust. depending wether its drum or disk breaks. if disk it could also be a caliper hanging up. didn't you just get them done?
yes thats the boiler. i had to take some pics for insurance. im to far away from a fire station so they keep canceling me. i'm on my 3rd policy now. i took pics with snow on it this time just to be an ass. the road are actually from my first storm, knee deep overnight, town got nothing.
OOO i read your blogs just cant respond to them yet. i'm internet challenged

small world.
yeah, the recent activity thing on the side was acting all wonky, and it showed people joining the groups I'm a member of. kind of annoying.
then I noticed a name....hey, it was a name I've seen before. I do a little investigating...and lo and behold, a student who was a member of a group I advised at Fredonia is a member here!...
