Wait, already? That's nutso.
I ran errands. I got my glasses fixed (for $3, woo hoo! Thanks, Nora!) and bought Damp Rid for my car (it's already working, I can tell), and cat food (Petco is more expensive than Whole Foods for the stuff I buy, good to know) and a little bit of human food. Cash only. And I have some money left. And I did *not* buy either of the awesome holo polishes I saw at Walgreen's for just $2 each. And at the grocery store I made myself choose between pickles and ginger beer (I chose pickles). Go me with the list-following and the not overspending.
WHAT is it with Universities fucking with people today??? Eff off universities.
Hivemind, how should I discuss the layoff in a cover letter? Normally, I'd say something like "My current position is X", but should I just say "My position as X has been eliminated" Also, technically, I'm on administrative leave for the next 4 weeks, so it is still my current position.
I would keep it as "my current position" until the admin leave is up. After that, discuss it in general terms in the letter.

This. Especially given that some places are being shitty about hiring unemployed people.
And I think you should totally write a letter for Kat. I mean, how can it possibly be legal for them to confiscate and shred her handicap placard if it is a DMV-issued placard (and not a university-issued one)?!? Much less can it be right.
Didn't WindSparrow do a big post about kitty nutrition? Was anyone smarter than me and bookmarked it? I'm trying to nilly and failing miserably.
It looks like my brother may have an auto-immune disorder(although it still isn't lupus...something weirder, with a longer name...dermato-something.) I hope the doctors can help him. It's some kind of connective-tissue thing.
t Ears prick up
Hubby has a genetic connective-tissue thing. Perhaps a bit of Googling this dermato-something will reveal something relevant to my interests.
OK, I can't go in the NonFiction thread yet because I'm still watching last night's SYTYCD and the east coasters are getting the results and we haven't yet...
But must say I LOVE the old school hair Caitlin has in this foxtrot. I want my hair to magically grow and someone to do my hair every morning in pretty styles!
So I got a call back from the HR person at awesome company, and I'm not moving on. They want someone with more communications experience. At least she asked if she could keep in touch with me, and if I wanted to be considered for any other positions in the company.
Bah. I really wanted this one too. What started off as a good week has now turned to complete shit (for more reasons that I can't divulge at this moment). I'm so ready for 2011 to be over.
Sorry, Maria.
Stupid week. End, stupid week.
