ok. coherence.

The last several days our landlady has had men working on her floors. I don't mind, really, except that they're loud, obnoxious, and right above my head when I'm on my computer. This makes it difficult to think here, much less elsewhere.

This morning, I had a call from the guy at Accountemps--he had a position he wanted to send me to interview for, but he needed my references to call him.

Right after I got off the phone, the unholy racket began.

I need a job. Bad. Like, to the point that if I don't get this one, I will be applying at places like McDonald's and Taco Hell.

So, cue me e-mailing people to give them a heads-up, then Jason calling back. And me calling them. Left messages on voice mail. And the third was at the dentist.

*headdesk*

Luckily, thanks to slight bullshitting, Shai is my boss. So, fourth reference.

At least one other called him back, as well.

Plus:

1pm = had to drive Shai to work.
3:30--Timey
5 - pick up Shai from one job, drop at another.

Drove Shai. Came home to find I DID have an interview. Finished updating resume, took disk, took Timey to work an hour early, printed resume.

Ran late.

Printed resume. Fought traffic. A twenty minute trip took forty.

Filled out application, had interview--it was a bit rushed since I was late. Sounds like they really need someone, though.

So. Fingers crossed that the guy calls me tomorrow and says, "Can you start Monday?"

We've already had the rant about stupid sports fans. I'd like to add to it with the people who can't fucking merge, or go up to the front of the line and try to get in. Guess what? I like being a bitch and hugging the ass of the car in front of me, so FUCK all of you assholes who try to get ahead.

Eat Moya's dust, you dipshits.

*snugglies!*

omg I might be gainfully employed and I kind of geeked out about non-linear editing at the guy...

What kind of job is it?

[identity profile] lyssie.livejournal.com 2005-06-24 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
It's actually data entry and accounting stuff with spreadsheets. *needs to bone up on Excel* But, er, non-linear editing is on my resume.

And it's a job I can do. Yes. *crosses fingers*

EXCEL!!! Yes! you can doooo eeeeeeeeeeeeetttt!!! ::hypers for u!!::

I wish you gainful employment!

I hate the idiots who drive down the shoulder to cut in line. I usually pull halfway onto the shoulder and stay in line so they can't pass. Unless they've got a flashing light on top of their vehicle, there's no way they need to get there faster than any of the rest of us.

BTW, I love your sidebar!

Thank you. =)

*shakes fist at these people* I have a little tiny Saturn, so I sadly can not do this. *sulks*

Good luck! Here's hoping you get the job!

I know what it's like to desperately need employment, so many good wishes.

Life hard?
Life hard.

*is sorry for you*

If you can't stand people who can't merge never come down to New Orleans. I swear to God, not a single human being here can merge correctly. It's amazing, an entire city of people who can't merge.

All for 'em. Especially if it's Kara looking hot with two guns. omg I squeaked when I saw that promo

Lay it on me.

I didn't find any with two guns, but there are two picts. One (http://www.spacecast.com/bsg/images/gallery/gal_pic25.jpg) is better than the other (http://www.spacecast.com/bsg/images/gallery/gal_pic26.jpg), in my opinion.
