Because I could use some love. Or just some nice random good thoughts. Sorry my posting has been sucking here lately.


THE ANON OR NOT LOVE MEME

Just had my phone interview with Knolls. As much as I don't want to move to NY, I am intrigued and will accept an in-person if they offer. Albany looks like a nice area, I think I'd be happy there. A bit curious that it would be the third state capital I'd reside in. =P Think my interview went well. The lab manager's about to go on vacation and did tell me I probably wasn't going to hear anything until October. O_O Hiring would probably take a long time too, because the job requires security clearance. Suppose my mission of avoiding getting arrested has been a good thing so far. Well, that's better than Sherwin. They told me I'd hear in a couple of weeks, and it's now been over two months and nothing. *eyeroll*

I need to go grocery shopping tonight. First I'm going to finish cleaning the kitchen and hunt down some food. Then I'm going to finish watching S1 of Veronica Mars...and probably start on S2. Maybe.

I'm thinking of switching my mood theme out. Still love TG, but getting a bit tired of this one. Not sure if I ever uploaded a VM mood theme, but that's the one I'm in the mood for at the moment. That should kill an hour or two of boredom if I go that route. Or maybe a Sherlock mood theme, that could be good too. =P

Ok, borked code has been fixed.

Well so far switching my sleep schedule is not going so well. I'm taking longish staggered naps. I'm awake for about eight to twelve hours, then I go to sleep for about five to six hours. My last nap was at 6pm, woke up at 11pm, so I will most likely be up until Jason has left for work. When I will then go for another long nap, get up at 2pm, be awake until midnight, then sleep...you know, I don't even care much about when I'm going to be awake or asleep next, so I'm honestly not sure why the hell I assume anyone else does.

Christmas was good. I made out with a 2TB external hard drive (knew it!) and a Red Wings long-sleeved T-shirt. They won tonight! I slept through the damn game, but they won! Woohoo! It's the new shirt, it's lucky! Plus it looks good on me. I wear red like a fucking champ. =) Jason got Shawshank Redemption, a new iced tea maker, hopefully one that doesn't leak all over the damn place, the Back to the Future movie set, and Lewis Black's new book. I also bought myself a tea kettle, Sherlock DVD's, and a book with a rather hefty Border's coupon I had. In addition to gifts, we did get a bit extravagant with the food. I seriously spent about four days just cooking, my two days off work, then as soon as my last day was over, I set up the kitchen to cook for Christmas Eve(which, strangely enough, has always been the big meal day in my family rather than Christmas Day). I know a few of you are into cooking and food, so the menu:
( There be lots of food descriptions here, don't come in hungry. )

For this menu, cooking it all alone and in a tiny kitchen, a friend of mine elsewhere on the internets said I should be crowned the Queen Master of Christmas Cooking. Do they make a crown for that? Cause I'd totally wear it. I don't own a chef's hat. =P

I think Boxing Day's supposed to be some sort of shopping day? Yeah. Fuck that. I opted to sit on my ass on the couch being lazy. We watched Jason's new movie set before I went to take another 5 hour nap, woke up to watch today's new Top Gear which was pretty decent, then dusted off my weighted gloves and worked out for 25 minutes. Sweated my ass off and I think my stomach did protest one segment but overall, that felt good.

So...unemployed again. Got two applications sitting here I need to get cracking on...sometime later today. Jason made a run for Qdoba, and I've got some nachos sitting here that are not going down even remotely well. I destroyed two pairs of jeans at my job, so I need to go clothes shopping, something I really don't want to do at all. *sigh* Back to this grind.

I've been unemployed for two long fucking miserable years. I would take ANYTHING at this point, okay?


I will say that I'd probably have stuck out the jobs that made me fucking miserable a bit longer a few years ago if they had paid well...but they were miserable jobs with miserable pay. Long run, I vote enjoyable job w/ lower pay.



I normally don't hit up the writer's block questions, but there's two in a row. I had more fun thinking of loathsome TV characters to kill off.

I just got hosed by hiring freeze number three.



ARGH!!!
