Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Argh, askye, that's freaking annoying.

I'd still call back once a week, no more, keep your name in the person's mind.

"Hello, Ms/Mr Name this is askye at 123-456-7899. I'm calling to check in on available receptionist or administrative assistant work. I'm still looking for a FT position, but I'm eager to get back to work. Please call me if you see anything that would match my qualifications. Thank you so much, NAME, and I appreciate all you're doing for me. I hope you have a good week."

Also, Vortex, that was awesome!

Ok, I got sleep meds last night, but stayed up a little too late working on a resume, but I still woke up earlier than the past insomnia week! At, um, 12:30. Going to bed earlier tonight FOR SURE.

I am be-coffee'd, dressed, flea-work done (except for MORe laundry in machine), walked the dog and am hieing off in 10 minutes for more resume work. As soon as I eat some cereal.

Yeah I need to start calling the other temp agencies. I just got tired of calling and hearing there were no jobs.

If I weren't such in a good place emotionally I'd start taking this personally and thinking I'd managed to piss off every employer in Vermont just by moving here.

Our wings are not tired.

askye, I think it's a good idea to go meet with her. One of my best friends is a top SF realtor and she's always needing help in the office with administrative stuff and she pays pretty well. So maybe if you don't want to be a realtor, you can work part time in the office?

{{smonster}} So sorry. What Toddson and the other Buffistas said, times ten.

askye, sorry, and good luck. I hope something comes up soon.

I read "linger" as 'finger" Needless to say, it gave me a different view of the whole thing.

askye, do you have 60 college credits? Have you thought about subbing?

And...my cereal is et, and clothes are in the wash. Back to work, Bitches!

Art Crawl!!!

smonster - so sorry about your roommate. I don't see how eating at your table could possibly be construed as "lingering" in the kitchen/dining area.

Why should you have to put up a curtain? If it bothers her, I think she should do it. It's her space, no?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I stopped at BB&B but didn't buy anything. I'll hang up a sheet with binder clips if necessary. I don't even want to talk to her tonight, so I'm saying fuck it and eating out. And I'm going to move Frankie's food and water bowl out of the kitchen.

I don't think I have 60 credits. I know there are para educator jobs around here where the requirements seem to be - 18 years of age and no criminal record. It's something to look into.

Being a realtor does have some appeal so I am going to look into it. My brother tried his hand at it didn't work out very well, but he's in a different market and maybe things would be different up here.

And one of the latest job listings on Craigslist is - 2 part time admin assistant through Spherion. So I called and left a message that I am interested.

My friend is a para, and really likes it. It's got some of the fun of teaching, but you don't have to take the work home.

Why is it that I can't creative write with any music, except maybe some classical or jazz, but I prefer party tunes loud for resumes?

Dear Buffista clients: now you know most of your resumes have been written to lyrics that include shake that ass, brickhouse and yeah, yeah, yeah.
