Yay Daisy for the sexy mail!

Yay vw for surprise tutoring thing. Email sounds good.

Sorry about the draining friendship, sj. Some good advice there. Whatever you are comfortable doing. We had been friends with a couple for about forever. For about a year every single time she called me it was to complain endlessly about her husband, also my friend. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and asked her why she didn't just get a divorce if he was so impossible and she was so miserable. She hasn't talked to me since. I remain friends with her husband. Should have done it a lot earlier.

Well, fuckity. I didn't get juliana's old job. Notified by a computer-generated email. Bleah.

Man, I gotta get out of this place. In the long run, that's what I need. In the short run, what I need is to go bundle myself up with Matilda, and then while she's napping go soak my head in a nice martini.

Oh no. Sorry for the disappointment JZ. So sorry. May this just mean something better is on the way.

Well, fuckity. I didn't get juliana's old job. Notified by a computer-generated email. Bleah.

Seriously?? They didn't call you, at least? (Though I'm surprised they didn't hire you. Bastards. Non-taking-my-advice bastards.) I'm so sorry, sweetie. If you want any help on the job hunt, let me know. Craigslist has helped me a lot. Or I could make you a nice martini.

JZ, martinis are for INTERNAL use only.

{{JZ}} I'm sorry. Job hunting sucks in a huge way.

I did finally get a call back from one of my interviews, but it's the one at the bottom of the list because it's part-time (70%). I could swing it with another job on top of it, but I don't wanna. Better than nothing, but not ideal.

Could I get some ~ma on the other interviews? Particularly the one from yesterday? That's the one I really want.

juliana, here's what I got:

Blurgh.

Immediate next task: Rewrite my current boss's recommendation letter (he told me "Just put in whatever you want me to say and I'll sign it" -- if he weren't retiring, I'd stay forever).

Next next task: Martini, applied internally.

Man.

I know he's busy and all, but you'd think he'd have someone call you instead of just using the form email. I'm sorry, sweetie.

Did you mean to say that you can want it even if it isn't currently available? 'Cause, you have an inalienable right to get what you want. Sometimes it just talks...um...time.

I'm not going to parse it too carefully, but I mean I'm not always going to get what I want. I'm cool with that. 'Cause if I try sometimes, I just might find... sorry, earwormed myself.

(((JZ))) for job hunting and because I should have in Natter and failed to.

{{JZ}} I'm sorry. Job hunting sucks in a huge way.

What ChiKat said. And some ~ma sent on your job interviews.

Sad because I had to bail on getting together with Matt while he is visiting South Beach. I was already backed up from the trip to Atlanta, and DH has been gone the last couple days leaving me with his work on top of mine. It was just going to bury me that much further under my work burden to take time off to play. The price to pay for taking time off for the F2F.
