Huh.

So I found out that I didn't get the job I interviewed for. The letter arrived today saying they had picked someone else. I knew as soon as I knew they were contacting me by letter instead of phone that I hadn't gotten it. Snail mail's for rejection, phones are for call backs. Anyhoo. I don't know if it's taking a while to sink in, if I just didn't think I'd get it or what, but I find myself a bit ambivalent. I mean I really wanted the job, but I'm not going into deep depression and looking for a cliff to jump off of. I am being eaten alive by curiosity about who DID get the position. More experienced? What? You know some people you don't mind being beaten by and some you do? Eh. I'll just try to put more effort into finding things to apply to and hope for the other interview to pan out.

Blech Weather

Why's the weather all gloomy? Spring's supposed to be cheerful and full of regrowth and such. But it seems like there's an awful lot of dreary, rainy, damp, icky days. The new growth, warmth, etc. doesn't hit until the veeeeery end. Like June.

What I Learned Today

There are some super crazy cute / cool shoes in the steampunk category!

Funnies from Ruminations.com

From ruminations.com

"Wait, you think Call of Duty is too violent? Mom, last time I checked you were the one that handed me a bat on my 4th birthday and told me that if I brutally slaughtered that piñata I would get rewarded. "


"Why can't I buy movie theater style butter flavoring at my grocery store? Probably, it's because it's worse for you than drinking straight brake fluid, and consuming it on consecutive days will kill you. But seriously, I want some for my popcorn. "


"Sometimes when I'm driving alone at night and there are no other cars on the road with me, I turn my headlights off to see what it would be like if we didn't have them."

"Wouldn't building a city on rock 'n' roll be a violation of multiple municipal building codes? "

"There are couch naps and bed naps. Bed naps are serious. "

"Pandora tells me what music I like, Netflix tells me what movies I like.. Refrigerator: Why are you such a slacker?! "

"Pandora needs a "Yeah, I like it, but I'm not really in the mood for it right now" button. "

"Got pulled over in a cab over the weekend. He was arrested for DUI. Just when I thought I was being responsible, the irony began. "

Vibrating

Got a call back from a place applied to. INTERVIEW! I was a bit discombobulated and had to call back about an hour later to set things up. In my defense, the interview is far far away and not a quick drive down the road.

So trying to research for that and another phone call. Another interview!!!! This one closer (and probably waay lower paying).

Freaking out. What do I wear? What do I say? How do I figure out when I can start if I have to move? How on earth will I find a place? Is my hair okay? How can I avoid seeming like a total spaz? Etc. Etc.

Bambi Had it Coming

So I'm outside with Xena. I see this herd of deer near the house. I start yelling at them (well, what yelling I'm currently capable of) and for the longest time they barely even look at me. I'm trying to shoo them and they don't even budge. I question the difficulty of hunting deer when I can't manage to scare some off while yelling and waving like an idiot.

Please?

Okay, so I've never lied about it. In fact, I usually come right out and say it. I am a high-maintenance and high-strung person. In keeping with the whole high-maintenance thing, I'm at times a little needy/ curious. So. Is anyone reading this? Anyone keeping up with this? Anyone want to share constructive criticism? Anyone just wanna say howdy? And I don't mean you stupid heads who sneak in links to porn sites and such in your comments. You will be dealt with.

Ta.

Relationship

So first I was flirting with Contagion. A little scratchiness in the throat maybe a teeny bit of coughing.

Then before I knew it, Contagion had a toothbrush and a its own drawer at my place. Definitely sore throat, hacking cough, sinus pain/pressure, and a bit of an ache in my right ear. I knew for sure that the relationship wouldn't work out when I starting running a temperature. (100.00 to be precise)

Now we're in the final stages of splitting up. Toothbrush out. Drawer now filled in again with my things. We still have a little contact with each other, but as the days go by it's less and less.

Frustration

So you go over something with someone (very carefully might I add) and then the next thing you know they're saying you never said this and certainly said that. *sigh* Always finalize any agreements made in writing and have both parties sign. Even if it's just what is for dinner next Tuesday.

Ouch!

So the other day my mother and I were talking. Anyway, somehow it came out that when she was pregnant with my sister she only weighed about five more pounds than what I weigh right now. That hurts. It hurts even more coming after finally getting a bit more together and exercising a bit more for about a month without losing a single pound. Depressing.

The. Hunt. Is. ON!

I am now desperately hunting Vienna Teng: Live At Bend Studio. It has her cover version of Cannonball. I. LOVE. That. Cover. (I actually like the cover better than the original.) Anyway, it's out of stock on amazon and the few times I've found a lead, it links to amazon. So . . .

Anyone wanna help?
