interview...

ok, get this... i went for a pre-interview today& of course brought my portfolio... big mistake.get this shite::i was turned down the job [that i could do in my FREAKING SLEEP] because, and i quote:"Your design work is too good, I would be doing you a disservice if i requested you for this position - you would be miserable there and would be sending out resumes the second day of employment"oh, and one more thing... he was worried about their politically INcorrectness [there were some ads that sported girls in bathingsuits - eek!] & how it would effect me - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! - he's kidding right?but, on a better note...when i got back... i got a callback [actually about four] from another job i applied for... hopefully this works out better than the last one. hmph!oh, and i'm meeting the people for the sitting room contract tomorrow night... wooo - drinkies @ the sitting room AND a good little contract! word.

job seeking... argh!

just found another headhunter place that specializes indigital media solutions - WOOHOO!and the jobs they have posted are PERFECT!perfect perfect perfect - hope hope hope!i want to hear back from them... NOW! [don't they have a 24 hour service for nightowls?]went to the unemployment office today, dear GOD!when i had my "orientation"... for fuck's sake! the guy wasabout as articulate as a first-grader. HE'S supposed to behelping me to find a job????? not likely! wait, there's more...i have to go every day now for some stupid freaking "peptalk"i actually have to sign in to prove that i was there!!!!!the people there are in ridiculously different circimstancesthan i [skills-wise] and i feel remarkably out of place.here's a sample of the kind of jobs they're offering...oooh, the sheraton's hiring housekeepers [it includes free shift meals] - i'll get right on thatthey're also hiring line cooks - um, can't even cook in a circle... let alone a LINEam i just being too aloof? i just want my huge school debt to mean something,& not be another depressing factor in my life i have to deal with every month.ok, it's not really that bad [well, it is - actually] - i AM getting free $$ from the government... i just have to stick it out until i find a real job.

hmph...

i was determined to get an early night, but i ended up just laying there, AWAKE.grrrrr. it's my birthday soon & i'm feeling the old creeping into my bones... i need somethingto help me resurface my inner drag queen - i thinkit's about freaking time i went out [properly... corset & all] againfound something online... cool hair for the weekend & lovely new lashes![that doesn't mess with your weekday corporate style] - mat... hint hint hint!russet fantasy falls want want want!mac's frosty lashes mmmmmm lashes!

resolution status :: needs improvement

ok, reading past entries, i came upon my resolutions... let's see how i'm doing so far, shall we?- eat less junk food - check! so far, i've lost 8 pounds!- exercise more [or at all would be a start] - check! [endurance is coming back to me quickly]- see more of my friends, not be so neglectful of them - uh, gotta work on that one- throw away my hermit-ways - see above- get a great job & kick ass there so that they all love & adore me [so i don't LOSE the job i resolved to get] - still looking, although i've been doing a bit of freelance stuff- not let my uber-independance destroy my relationships - check! i'm actually taking the time to GET TO KNOW my boyfriend... hmmm- go boarding... LOTS - uh, see jobless [aka: broke] resolution- get back into kickboxing [no, not that girly aerobic crap] - again, see jobless resolution- be [only a little] less vain - i'm scaring myself... am i getting too old for *true* vanity [nothing a night out & a rib-crushing corset won't fix!]?- try new things [i've always wanted to take bellydancing classes] - again, see joblessnessok, so i still have LOADS to work on. don't rub it in.

lovely weekend...

Had a fabulous weekend with mat... strange, after being together for over three years, i am finally making the time to really get to know him. He's even lovlier than i realized... and his BRAIN ---- ooooooh, yummy brains!recap ::friday night...we went to the harvard exit & saw City of God ...a Brazillian film i thoroughly enjoyed..... i can't help but feel a bit guilty about enjoying this film so much. i know i *should* be disturbed by gun-toting children and slum wars [and i was, but not enough to dislike the film, by any stretch]. it certainly was thought provoking, and i certainly enjoy a little thought-provocation [uh, always]Afterward we went to the Blu Bistro for drinkies & got to sit in the buddah room - it was sooooo tiny & fortalicious [as in, like a fort - you know, for kids]. The general consensus between mat & i is that... forced to decide between known [to us] religions, we choose HINDUISM. yay reincarnation!saturday...went to chinese new year festival in the international district... saw northwest taiko - cool cool cool! i want to be that cool, but with better outfits... is that too vain? spent the rest of the afternoon in the uwajimaya book store... mmmmm japanese design! followed by udon. yummy yummy udon!i was determined to head out to the merc, but as fate would have it, i worked out like a maniac [think flashdance, but to better music - i had headphones... mr oizo's analog worms attack, to be exact]... needless to say, i was entirely too exhausted to get all cinched up for the evening. instead we decided to, uh, turn in early... hehe.sunday...woke up deliciously late & then went to the gym - more mr oizo fueled exercise. afterward i made an exciting dicovery... subway has veggie patties! could this weekend get any better????? i think not!

HA!

i truly believe this is the best 'i saw you' i have ever seen...DEAR VIOLENT LONERPlease stop harrassing the children of our neighborhood. We are trying to celebrate jesus pony day and you are totally wrecking it every time. 2959------------------------------------------------------------------------waaaahahahahaha!

job prospects...

i have two new possible web contracts...small ones, but they'll get me through the rough spots i think. - one is pretty much a sure thing, it's just a matter of when they can get their content together - the other is unique indeed... [i'll tell you more about it if i get the contract]we should be meeting next week...keep your fingers crossed. i know i am.
