i've been sick (i'm coming out of it though) and tired and so stressed about working. i've had like 5 interviews out here and still, nothing. i feel very undesirable. i had one at 10 this morning and have another at 2.
so when we got our internet installed like less than 2 weeks ago, apparently the guy installed it wrong.
how do we know? because we saw our cable line sitting on our patio one day, cut. i go to the front desk of our complex and ask why it is this way. she tells me our neighbors were complaining because they had been tripping over the wire because it went across their patio.
thanks for telling me before you went and cut up our cable!
anyways, we call comcast, and the earliest they can send someone out is monday. monday comes, a service guy comes, confirms that it was installed wrong, says he cant do anything now because they need to bury the wire underground. calls his supervisor, and tells me that someone will be out the next day to fix it.
tuesday: nobody comes. i'm on the phone with comcast again, trying to figure out what the fuck is going on. the lady sets up an appt for the next day, to come and bury it and get us all reconnected.
wednesday: at like 7 i go outside and notice my wire is still cut and sitting on my patio. and there is an extra wire sitting on my patio, that wasn't there before, that is coming up out of the ground. these wires are NOT connected.
after being on hold for about an hour (for real), was told that the earliest they could have someone out was friday afternoon, having to pull a "i NEED to speak with your supervisor immediately" and a few "give me credit on my account for all my fucking trouble", i get someone who tells me they will try to get someone over asap.
so today after calling again and making sure someone will be here, the guy finally comes. and we finally have cable/internet again.
we got a kitten. i wanted a girl but andy fell in love, and i love him too. we named him thrall. he is so cute and little and he plays with saetia all day long (we worry that sometimes seatia plays too rough, and we have to seperate them). saetia is such a big baby half the time and runs from little thrall. they always sleep together on saetias chair. he looks so fucking huge compared to thrall! anyway, here he is!

our room mate moved in the other day. shes cool, her name is christina. we havent hung out too much though because i've been sick and in bed most of the time, or sleeping until 6pm. and then she went away for this weekend. oh well, we have a year.
IM SICK OF JOB HUNTING AND GETTING NO WHERE.
edit: as a total shot in the dark, I emailed this local photographer and asked if she had any need for an admin/personal/photographers assistant and she called me back today and it turns out she is! I have an interview on monday.
Good luck with the interview, the job market has been strange here since Katrina brought in so many additional jobless workers.
