so I found a new favorite website here. it is too true in so many ways.

what else is new? I was scheduled for only 24 hours this week. I am now up to about 32 hours. I got called in today and I picked up a shift on Wednesday. not too bad, if I do say so myself.

the job hunt is still...

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 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!
tunnel_vision:
I've never tried one of those masks smile

why I hate my wireless connection.

1. it seems to randomly disconnect.
2. it just booted me from Chat and I can't get back on!
3. it seems to have a mind of its own.

so its late, I'm going to watch NCIS and see if i can get back onto chat.

and work overnights the next 3 days....joy!

I've seen this exact problem with Linksys wireless routers, if thats what you have try a different brand.
miss_cellophane:
Use a lan cable. I gave up on wireless along time ago. They are a crock.

talked to an old manager of mine, she was thinking of us and called. I told her I applied for a school counselor position out where she lives. she knows people, so she's going to put in a good word...

well, another week has gone by. I got my new brakes. and then found someone 2 days later who would have done the work for parts and $30.... DOH! well, for $30, he offered to look at my back brakes and see if I need anything. so I might take him up on that offer (better than spending $130 for something I might not need)....

I learned long ago don't ever lend anyone money, unless your willing to concider it a gift,
Breaks, they only slow you down!
I don't know what else to say, when i really wanted to leave i was too broke to, now things are looking up. There is stability hunkering down. The economy sucks now and shits in turmoil. Fortunatly your chosen profession should be rather resession proof.
miss_cellophane:
it is hard being trapped some where and trying for jobs far away. Im just dealing with the extra travel time and moving asap.

give the 6 yr old a giant cardboard box wink

so finally got my brakes changed today. I've gone about 30,000 on this set of brakes, and being a small car, it was time. the rotors are "throw away" rotors as well, so I needed to get new brake pads and rotors.

it cost my under $190 with labor. a most happy day for me. most places, well, it would cost at least $190 just...

miss_cellophane:

well, it was a most interesting day today.

first off, I had to work outside. nice tan. 5 1/2 hours of walking. and one of the most surreal incidents ever. I'll get to that later.

well, lately, just feeling kind of "blah". who knows, maybe its not seeing jobs. or not being fully happy where I'm at (then again, when have I been fully happy?). the tediousness of my job. who knows.

so what has been happening?

finally got the needed information on how to get my provisional certification as a school counselor. New York State requires public school employees...

I don't know of any right now. With gas near $4/gallon I will want to stay within driving distance of Kwik fills.
I really hope you find a job soon! It must be even more stressfull in these tough times.

Thought I would drop by the site and say hello. I wish things were looking up for you right now. It seems like everyone is having a difficult time right now.

That was a very creative way of getting a response to your email. I had to laugh when I read that. I may just use that trick myself in the future.

I hope you are able to find an opening sometime over the summer for the begging of school in the fall. That would really be great. Got my fingers crossed for you. BTW, nice job on the swing set!
