A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hey, everyone.

Ugh, Steph, I feel awful for you. I empathize, cause I STILL feel like a bog ol' loser for not getting my contract renewed. And now with extra added loser crunchiness cause I got a note from the job I interviewed for and they went with another candidate.

Yeah, I got that note when I rolled in at 5 a.m. after a demoralizing night out. Excellent pre-sleep medication.

I have no other nibbles, and my contract (and paychecks) run out on 8/15.

Sorry to not cheerful, but I am NOT cheerful at all about this. So, I feel ya, Tep. I really, really do.

And my internet is really sporadic now. I have no TV, my DVD player got fried by lightning 2 weeks ago and my DVD/CD player on my PC is broken. And I have no money for books.

And my friends that are having the awesome wedding in Sedona next week that I can't go to because of the stupid surgery that cost a lot of money want to have their in-town reception on my birthday. It's the first time my birthday has been on a weekend in three years (it usually falls on the first week of school, so I always work it). I said yes, of course, but I feel like everyone is getting married and having kids and etc., and I'm so unspecial I can't even have my birthday for myself.

Ugh, Need coffee and self-pity diuretic.

Lordy, Erin that sucks.

See if you can Freecycle up a DVD player. People are always upgrading.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

{{Erin}} I am so so sorry. I just don't understand why a great teacher doesn't have a job. It boggles the mind.

There are not a shitload of jobs to apply for in KC right now, either. I should have been applying in April or May...except I didn't know I wasn't going to have a job till the first of May, and then I had surgery.

Oh, nevermind me. I am full of fucking woe and doom today, and it's annoying even me.

Yeah, teaching jobs can be pretty seasonal. Any chance you can get on the substitute rosters? I'm afraid I don't remember what you teach, so I don't know if this is totally impractical.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Erin, I have a dvd player I'm not using. I could send it to you if you'd like. Although I have no extra tv and it's not a portable dvd player so it might not be of use to you.

meara, I might be interested in this cleaner myself. We're looking at getting someone in twice a month or so once the debts are paid off.

Gah, so behind.

Erin, I have no sage words, just lots of something-good-will-come~ma for you.

In unpacking news, my stereo seems to be working, though the right speaker isn't. Too tired to troubleshoot. The kitchen is almost functional now, should probably go buy food. Haven't made anything more complicated than tea since I moved in. Pathetic. K-Bug is now helping CJ reorganize his room. She is brutal (YAY).

Suzi, do you watch So You Think You Can Dance? Chelsie totally reminds me of K-Bug for some reason.
