Still Haven't Started a Job ... etc.

June 10th, 2014 at 10:15 pm

I'm getting lessons in patience I think. The collecting signatures job I interviewed for on Thursday and was supposed to start on Sunday .... for whatever reason my background check didn't come through right away. I got a call from the lady on Sunday telling me she was still waiting on it. I didn't hear anything yesterday, and finally today around 2:00 p.m. I called her. She had gotten it finally, but was dealing with some issues right then.

At any rate, I'll be starting it on Sunday!

To add to the mix, the place I interviewed at on Friday, which I thought turned out to be a total waste of time ... I got a call from the lady this morning offering me a three week part time position at $8/hour starting on Friday. I had to tell her no thanks because of the collecting signatures job (better pay, more hours for one thing) but it does look like the interview may not have been a total waste if more things like that come along.

I made an appointment with the dentist here finally - the hole in my tooth is getting very annoying, and my insurance runs out on the 30th. So, I need to get it taken care of. Wednesday at 9 I'll get a cleaning, x-rays and then an appt to do the filling.

I also made an appointment to get Kari's claws trimmed on Friday. It was $10 in big G, but here it is $16. As long as I'm living in NEs place, I *must* keep her claws trimmed short - it would not do our relationship much good if she destroyed one of his many speakers, etc.

I've written quite a bit on bubblews, and have otherwise been keeping pretty busy doing different things. If you want to check out some of my recent posts, here is a link to my profile page:

Okay, I'm going to now attempt to catch up on the blogs. Looks like I've missed quite a bit of activity!

Question. If someone told you they had keyed another persons car after that person had flipped them the bird, what would your reaction/response be? (The people with the keyed car did not see it happen.)

Can you tell me how you decide to move without a job? Any tips on doing so? I want to do this, can you help me?

LAL - Well .... it's a long story. About a boy. I met NE a bit more than ten years ago. We dated for a short while, then went our separate ways for a few years. Then got back in contact with each other. A bit over a year ago we decided to try to make a go of it a second time. When the school year ended, I moved here to Nebraska. It's a big risk in a way, but I have been saving money to bide myself until I do have a job, as well as having sold some stocks that had done really well. Also, I'm living with my boyfriend until I do manage to land a full-time job - so that helps to keep expenses down a good bit too. Basically I took a leap of faith and hoped to the dickens that I'd land on my feet.

If someone told me they had keyed someones car, I would keep my distance with them.

Agreed. I would not have much to do with them. But I would mask my disapproval for fear of getting keyed myself!
