Via hear you me

On one level, it doesn’t quite seem real. On another level, listening to him speak, it seems like Barack Obama has already been president for some time.

Eric Liu, Author and former Clinton White House adviser at Politico


And the job hunt continues.

Had one interview at least, although I didn’t get the job.  It’s okay though, because I even knew I was way under-qualified.  Gonna just keep applying places though.

Also got a new bank account.  And credit card.  Fun stuff, let me tell you.


urgghhhh

Job hunting is a full time job (although to be honest, with me it’s more like a part-time job).  I’m part frustrated with the search/ part frustrated with myself for not trying harder.

Also, I really need to change my bank, because I have like 5 checks I need to cash, and the nearest branch of my old bank is hundreds of miles away.

Commentators Can’t Stop Chuckling About the Crappiness of McCain’s Speech | New York Magazine

“If you saw John McCain’s painful speech last night, you, like us, might have thought dude looked like an actor who forgot his lines during an audition for a Depends Commercial and was just winging it. Talking Points Memo compiled the reactions from commentators to McCain’s “That’s Not Change We Can Believe In” speech, and it is pretty darn entertaining…”

I can only hope for five months of material this good. What an incredibly awful candidate.

Bwahaha.  Last night was an awesome night to be watching cable news channels.

Things I have been doing instead of getting a job

1.  Reading (very slowly) Wuthering Heights. 

2.  Watching How I Met Your Mother online.  I’m only half way through season 1 right now, but I’m loving it.

3.  Watching So You Think You Dance when it’s on.

4.  Updating resume and looking up jobs to apply to without…actually applying to any.

5.  Reorganizing all of our storage in the basement.

Tomorrow I will not  let myself go to bed without having applied to at least 2 jobs.  Seriously.  No more down time allowed.



hear-you-me:

I’m going to miss this 

Me too.  September.  Baltimore.  Us.
