dang, I kind of thought I would get that job.

Continuing to come in here and work for free is going to be kind of frustrating. Time to start devoting hardcore time to looking for other jobs.

I've been in that situation a couple of times and it definitely sucks, but for what it's worth, it was much better in the long run that I didn't get those jobs.

What Ash and Wombat said. Stuff has a way of working out. Good luck, though, and I occasionally do resume writing if that's a thing.

[theinevitable]

I am pretty sure you have edited my resume before.

It is pretty easy to find an upside to not getting a job that would have been paying me, essentially, 4.50 an hour.

[jay-ell]

Did I? I definitely looked over a term paper and I think I did a resume for Miles, but I don't remember doing yours. Ah, well.

[miles]

Yes, you did. And thanks again. I didn't end up interviewing anywhere because things worked out at my current company, but it's always good to have a resume on hand and I definitely needed a few tips.

That reminds me, I need to update my resume. The department I work for is rumored to have a shorter life span than we hoped, which means my position may not be as secure as I thought. No one thinks it's going to happen till at least 12 months out, and it may not happen at all, but better to be ahead I guess.

Today I'm gonna take the husband to the physiotherapist for a full work up of his injuries post car crash:

Neck and shoulder damage - poor range of motion in both
Invertbras in neck and back stuck in open position - low levels of the necessary fluid to libricate spine to allow for closure or proper range of motion
Damage to one elbow joint
Bones in pelvis dislocated (popped into place by his therapist at an appointment today)
Damage to both knees - extensive fluid retention
Muscular damage to thighs, abdominals and calves

[side_show]

Yes, but more importantly, when will I get the bone back?  I'll be all bone, bone, bone.

[greenkoolayd]

was it damaged?

...pick up my new spectacles. i got one pair of regular rectangly glasses that look pretty decent on my noggin, and because the second pair had a deep discount and my eyes are super photosensitive, i got a pair of sobchaks.

So we're going back up to Little Falls in a coupla weeks for good. We're broke.

From all the job offers I've applied to, I haven't even gotten a polite form rejection letter.

Adrian was given a job Sunday and then got a voicemail Tuesday saying they decided they couldn't afford it after all.

They put the saw to my brother's skull Tuesday in Pasadena. I'm empty.

The comic I've been talking about is printed and in this apartment but I can't start taking orders on it until I know what address I'll be taking checks to so... soon. Soon on that.

I really like how it came up but it seems small and stupid in the face of everything else.

Who sent me all those graphic novels way back when, I forget, you'll definitely get your copy for free.

[Nabubrush]

Strength, man. Let us know when we can get the book. Thinking about you.

[theinevitable]

hang in there, LFM.

lord, I am having the grumpiest day I have had in a long time. Ready for the Cardinals to either lose or win the World Series or whatever so I don't have to pretend to care about them for a few months.

I mean, seriously. I try so hard not to be that Angry Nerd who complains about sports. But at this point it's easier to lie and pretend to love them, instead of having yet another conversation about how, no, I actually don't follow baseball, I didn't see the game. Sorry. No, I am not from St Louis.

Are we in high school? I think someone is going to give me a swirly for being a nerd who doesn't follow sports.

Conversation I had the other day:

1:"So, wow, I'm so excited to see the Cards tonight. Have you seen many games?"
me: "no, I haven't seen any, actually."
1: "holy shit! You're telling me you live right here, and you've never gone to Busch stadium???"
me: "Um... yeah. I've lived here for a few years, but I don't really follow baseball"
1: "so, you like basketball or something? Football?"
me: "no. I don't really watch sports."
1: "hockey?"
me: "..."

People are very willing to stereotype me based on my appearance until it comes to the Cardinals. Then their brain says "human being = likes the Cardinals."

Address?  Checks?  1980 called, they want their method of payment back.
