[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

This is probably a dumb question, but have you checked with 411 or Switchboard.com? I've managed to get phone numbers from addresses a couple of times.

I haven't! I'll try that.

(Also, in mememe news, I got a call for a second interview with a place where I think I'd be pretty happy that would pay me a bunch more money, so it's possible that life does go on.)

Yay!

P-C, you might also be able to get the number just by doing a straight Google on the addy, if Switchboard doesn't work.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I had a second audition/interview at Princeton Review last night. I think it went pretty well -- at least, I feel like I did better than I did the first time, and the first one was good enough that they called me for a second one.

Omigod, P-C, you are having my job hunt. Except that we have different actual jobs we'd like, the experience is identical.

I'm a little tempted by First Investors because the office is 3 blocks from my house. But that's no reason to take a job. I do think I'm gonna have to cave and be a financial advisor for a while. Or something.

Mostly lurking...

Oh, Lyra, that is just WRONG. I am so sorry. Good luck on the second interview, though.

So, my boss has finally figured out my quick working pace. I think I have about a week's worth of work to do today. I'm taking it on as a challenge to see how much I can complete today.

Plus, every job wants years of experience. I CAN'T HAVE EXPERIENCE IF I CAN'T GET A JOB.

Yay second interviews!

yahoo looks normal to me.

Here's a few possibilities, P-C: [link] Also, I have a friend who works for teh EPA in AA, I'll ask him if he knows of any projects they have going that need a writer/editor.

Yeah, see, that's why you gotta take it easy the first coupla weeks!

(wonders why I can't get ahead inthe workplace)

Just don't push yourself too much, vw.

Sorry about the crappy job-hunt experience PC. I graduated in the early 90s when there wasn't a very good hiring environment either. I had to take a crappy job to pay the bills while I kept looking for something better. Even the crappy job had 300 applicants despite paying jack.

Edit: That wasn't very encouraging. I'm just saying even if you can't get a good job right away, that doesn't mean you can't get one eventually even if the first one isn't so hot.
