This sucks
I know I keep saying I'm back and then disappearing for months at a time, but the stuff that's going on doesn't seem worth writing about.
We moved into our new apartment a month ago, and since then, both the job leads that seemed so promising when we moved led nowhere. I had done two phone interviews and one face-to-face with each. One e-mailed me five minutes before 5:00 on Friday to say that they wanted someone with more marketing experience. Did they expect me to have picked some up between the first and third interview?
I did get a job at Cornerstone for a week, though not the one I originally applied for. I was an RA at the journalism institute. I had a lot of fun, but didn't make much money (why is it that the jobs that require you to work the longest always seem to pay the least?). The last time I took temporary work at a camp, I broke my leg, so this time was much more successful (although worker's comp sounds pretty good right about now...).
I spent the week with high schoolers who had chosen to spend a week of their summer at a writing camp, so i was pretty much in my element. We played Egyptian ratscrew (which I of course won), talked about Harry Potter (all I really want to talk about right now), and I was able to offer advice for college (don't major in English if you want a job).
When I'm not applying to jobs, I've been doing a lot of cooking. We had an awesome cream of mushroom soup last night made from baby portabellas. I'm also rereading the Harry Potter series. I just finished Goblet of Fire and hour ago. I realized while reading book seven that I couldn't remember a thing about book six (probably because I was hopped up on Vicodin when it came out), so rather than just reread book six, I am reading the entire series. I am trying to do so quickly to absorb the entire story rather than having it broken up into sections. If you enjoy good stories of any kind, I cannot recommend the Harry Potter books highly enough.
Well, that's all from me for now.
How are you?
