one of the things I don't miss about doing landscaping is how I feel the next day.
yesterday it was trimming down 2 shrubs and doing some serious work on a big bush in the corner of the house.
tools included electric hedge trimmers, hand held hedge trimmers, a hand held branch cutter and a DeWalt Reciprocating Saw.

well, no phone calls, so I'm guessing I didn't get this job.
oh well.
while some things were nice, the idea of being alone in the office is not something I want. being the sole counselor for something like this, geez, talk about a lot of pressure! and if something goes wrong, there is no one to confer with.
so back to the drawing board....

well, interview is done, we will see (the committee is meeting today to figure out who to bring back).
went okay....but, seriously.
how do you apply Viktor Frankl's theory (meaning and purpose) to counseling a student addicted to Heroin?
seriously?

Um
I would send him into skid row to observe other skags while hes on a bad LSD trip, while constantly giving him the blues by saying " Heroin is bad, M'Kay"
But this is also why I'm not a consoler!

Listen to what Tunnel says, schools are always looking for ways to get rid of students!
so a few more days until I have my interview...my mom seems to think this is the job I'll get. and so do some others.
then work late night Tuesday (I get our at 1 AM!), Thursday through Saturday overnights.
which is nice because I'm off of doing maintainance for the week. but sucks because I can't enjoy a full day of the family gathering...

Good luck with the interview. Hope it goes well for you. I will have my fingers crossed.
I went to explain everything in my blog only to have a small problem. Typical for me right now.
The song, by the way, was Adam's Song, by Blink 182 on their cd Enema of The State. Only one of a handful that I really like on that cd. Sorry, I am no good with links. It runs through my head all the time. Not a good sign I think.
But I will keep fighting until I decide to stop. Yeah, I know that makes no sense. Take care and good luck, with everything.

Good idea about the blog! Never occurred to me to do it like that. When I try to write the big one again, that is how I am doing it, as this is at least the third time I have lost an important blog.
welll, interview on the 30th at 10:30 for a school counselor position at the Wayne-Fingerlakes Boces Center for Experiential Education.
wish me luck!

I could use a proxy server. Its not so much they can see what I'm doing, its the bill. My company get billed by the minute since its bundled company-wide. So it would be the time I spend on the web and bandwidth I use.
The house and location are awsome, i was up there tonite running the well to get the water pressure up. When i was done I really didn't want to leave.

another week, another grind. still kind of sore from Saturday. my cousin's wife (and one of only 5 family members I actually like on a consistent basis, with my cousin and their three sons) had her birthday/graduation party. so I got out of work, went home, slept for about 6 hours, woke up, showered, and went to the party. some of the younger children there...

You don't owe me anything ... it was just sitting in the closet
well, my hand is healing up nicely. so glad I heal quickly. my finger is pretty much all healed now, in fact!
outside of that, not too much else. 8 schools have my resume's now, 3 more that I have to fill out an application for.
did I ever mention that job searching is stressful? and sucks?

I know what a big Winger fan you are, so I knew you would appreciate this!
yesterday, Rochester hit a heat wave, with the temperature in at least the high 80's if not 90's. I'm sitting at home, in the Central Air, when my cousin calls (the one who owns a comic book store). he tells me that his A/C broke and he needs me to cover the store while he gets a new one.

Don't know the how yet, the gang is fueding lately so I havn't made any plans
jermhawk:
Yes. And I comment on shit that makes no sence, sometimes i'll go back though my old comments and wonder what the the hell I ment.
The looks i got brinigng in medical equipment was priceless. And i knew it, and took full advanage of it. I even made a comment to a volunteer at the elevator. " Yup i'z here to make my MA all better, she gunna git better usin this here breathy box"
But I do admit i'm a social retard.

well, today, the stool I've been using as desk chair finally ended its usefulness. I noticed an increased amount of "creeking" yesterday, and when I looked, I noticed that one of the legs had broken loose from the welding. basically, the legs were welded to the base that the stool top sat on. guess rocking back and forth (or any movement) was not good. then...

So far demolition derbys are the best!
so today, after being woken up due to sunlight (my one window faces west), I bought a sleep mask.
hopefully the best $6 I've spent in a long time!
