More Thoughts I Need To Share

This employment agency is a bit different from the other one. I don't know if they're just understaffed or they over booked yesterday but there was a bit more waiting around than I would have liked. The good news is that they didn't have me watch a damn employment safety video and much of the paper work on my skills and what not was done online before I ever went in so that was a time saver. I also like that they encouraged me to check in on a weekly basis if I don't hear from them. The particular job I applied for wasn't discussed. I took 6 computerized assessment tests on Word, Excel, two data entry and payroll. I was above average on the first two, average on the second two and below average on the payroll but I expected as much going into it as all I did at the payroll company was data entry. The thing that I don't particularly care for, although it certainly isn't a huge deal, is that they don't deal in paper checks and require direct deposit. Coming out of the experience, I haven't been as mentally exhausted in while which implies getting a job will improve my sleeping habits...

Make a note: my online dating experience, through a particular service anyway, is over for the time being as my eHarmony account has ended and way too expensive to renew and the cheaper site seemed to only attract Russians wanting an American sugardaddy. Meanwhile, however, I may be actually meeting someone in person in the very near future. As some of you know, although perhaps not given my comments the other day, that I tend to read too much into things, but, our last few conversations seem to suggest she's starting to really get into me. Admittedly, I once thought a woman liked me just because she was happy to see me...

Can someone explain why pretty much only American Idol is showing new episodes against the Olympics and why in God's name Lost is replaying the pilot episode tonight which I've seen twice?

Random Comments Into My Life

We did yardwork yesterday. I picked up a lot of sticks. Home Depot sucks on a Friday morning. My father and I went to get a new gascan for the mower and there was only one employee around to help us...and she didn't know anything about how these new fangled gas cans work... So due to a bank error when I reset my bank account so I could accurately keep track again, I had like a hundred dollars less in my account than I thought so my last bill payment put me in the hole. This would've been all right and easily fixed if I had been paid for the last week of my mailroom job but, oddly, I still have not been even though it's been weeks. I don't know if I can accurately convey how infuriated this makes me. If it doesn't happen soon, heads will roll! Also yesterday I re-watched the Enterprise episode "Regeneration"; this time with audio commentary from the writers. They made some valid points I hadn't considered on the issue of if this episode screws with...

The Neglected Blog

With the discovery of the time-waster that is Facebook, I find I no longer need to waste my time here. This is mainly why I haven't done any quizzes or other memes here in a cat's age. (I'm not a dog person...) They're all over there. Also why tell you all about what's not going on in my life when I can better waste time by making fake money off Lindsay Lohan's hi-jinks? Added to that, you can regularly follow the mundaness that is my life on Twitter. I don't want to say I'll never blog again. Frankly, this site and I have chronicled much over the years and I'm not ready to give it up fully. Every so often, something comes up worth sharing. Case in point, Thursday night, there was a retirement celebration for our outgoing OT professor complete with a guest lecturer from Boston, dinner and a vesper service designed by the professor herself. It was good Thai food, though admittedly not my favorite Asian cuisine, and saw many people I knew. My parents c...

And Now, A Lame Quiz!

Your Score : Dionysus 33% Extroversion, 46% Intuition, 55% Emotiveness, 76% Perceptiveness Although deeply emotional, you are extremely lacking in self-knowledge. You are somewhat needy, and when bored, may become very hedonistic. Your life is a quest for meaning, above all else. You are most like Dionysus. You are primarily interested in serving others, but your efforts are almost always unappreciated. You aren't confrontational, you're often out of tune with your own needs and unaware of the consequences of your own actions. You are, at heart, a good person. You are very affectionate, and you are very loyal to your friends and family. You are very reluctant to burden others with your own problems, to the point that this in itself can become a problem for the people who care about you. This is a particular of a more general problem. Dionysus sends wave of ruin throughout his personal life. He is the photographer who seduces his subjects. He is the teacher who seduces a student...
