[06 Aug 2006|01:47pm] [ mood | okay ] So, this weekend has been good and weepy all at once. Which, I know, it's confusing. And, now my mom's down here, I'll ahve to expand on this later. Update ya later Post

happy birthday to me [01 Aug 2006|08:46pm] [ mood | hot ] So, I'm 23 today. I got wished a couple happy birthdays, and I had a decent day at work, but otherwise things were uneventful. So far I like the job, the people are really nice and it's kinda interesting. It's still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that it's permanent though. Once I get my D card, my handbook, etc, my passwords for the phone and computer I'll feel more like a permanent employee. My boss is really nice though, and it's nice not having to be to work till 10. That's all for now. I'm hot, on the phone ,and I want off the internet. Update ya later 3% Post

job! [21 Jul 2006|01:41pm] [ mood | hungry ] So, I have a job!!Yeah, shocking I know. Already my family is giving me shit about it. My mom said that I should continue looking, that I should have a better job that pays more since I have a degree. I see her point, and I of course will keep my options open, but I can't bare to look for jobs anymore. I need a break, some stability, some rest. It only pays 23 and change a year, but it has alot of holidays since they are Catholic, it has health insurance after 3 monthes, and it actually seems like an interesting job. Don't get me wrong, I'll keep my resumes posted, see if anything better comes along. But, for now, I am offically an employee of Catholic Social Services starting July 31st. I called Lee to give him the good news and got voice mail, I left a message, and told him to call me back when he got up. It's hard to believe he's not up yet, it's almost 2. I also texted Saq and field Joe. It almost seems anti-climatic. My mom's gotta understand why I need a break, last Sunday while i was looking through the paper for jobs I nearly had a nervous breakdown. I just need a break to just work, and plan ahead. And if a better job comes to me, I'll cross that bridge then. for ...shit, thunder. I'll finish this later. Update ya later Post

[17 Jul 2006|06:39pm] [ mood | blah ] So, I'm on the phone with Lee, so this'll be short. I had my job interview with the staffing company today, and it went relatively well. They said they'd call me. Tommorrow I have another interview with Catholic Social Services for a secretary job. When I told Lee he was hoping it was a social worker job. He thinks that I should just suck it up and use my degree. Hopefully it won't get to that. And hopefulyl that interview tommorrow will go well, I'm sturggling to find any real info on the company.I mean, it's Catholic Social Services, so they are pretty well known. Well, that's all for now. Update ya later Post

the weekend is almost here.... [29 Jun 2006|06:31pm] [ mood | blah ] This will be short, I don't want to spend all night on the internet again. This has been a so-so week. On Monday morning I woke up ready to quit my job, and was feeling much the same on Tuesday. I've perked up since, realizing all the bills I have to pay, and planning on paying 9 bucks a month to get digital cable in my room, that would cheer my up a ton. Also, Tuesday night we had more torrential downpours, causing my ceiling over my bed to leak again, at 4 in the morning. So, I got no sleep that night. It's up in the air whether or not Lee and I are hanging out tommorrow. On Tuesday night he said he might be going out with some friends to get drunk to celebrate some girl turning 21. He wasn't sure, and he didn't mention it one way or the other last night. I'll make sure to ask him tonight if he doesn't mention it first. I want him to have fun, but I do hope we hang out tommorrow. If we don't maybe we can hang out on the 4th since we're both off. Or on Monday if the weather doesn't hold up and my family doesn't do anything, since I already took the day off regardless. Just one more day and then a four day weekend, and I could really use it. Update ya later Post

[25 Jun 2006|09:00pm] [ mood | okay ] so, today has been a pretty good day. I was able to get alot of driving done this afternoon, despite the damp weather and the jazz festival tying up the dmv. I'm going to practice my parking tommorrow, and hopefully that'll leave me an ok position to take my test next Saturday. Even if I don't pass, if I can at least not embaress myself that'd be nice. We also went to Dave and Buster's today, which was fun, as usual. I got myself some take-out which I'll eat for dinner tommorrow, their blackened chicken alfredo is to die for. After that we picked up some really kickass Papa John's pizza. and, I'm on the phone with Lee now. Good shit. Update ya later Post

when temp agencies control your life.... [10 Jun 2006|08:45pm] [ mood | blah ] This is going to be kind of short becasue I've been online for hours already. As you know, yesterday Lee and I didn't hang out. He had fun at the opera though, which is good. He said we should go down there and do something sometime, and I said that'd be awesome, becasue it would be. Hell, I'd even go to the opera with him, though I sense that shit is expensive. Despite the lack of a Lee hangout, yesterday was relatively eventful. Friday morning while I was working a job I had spoken with earlier in the week called, wanting to set up an appointment. I called them back at lunch, and set up an interview for Tuesday morning at 9:30, since I couldn't set up anything any earlier. I then called the agency, and told them I'd be in by 11 on tuesday(this isn't totally accurate, I've since found out it'll probably be closer to noon.) It's a group interview for a job as an entry level records specialist. I'm not 100% sure what that is, but it pays 29 grand a year, so I'm going to find out. It's also right down the street from my job, which is conveniant. anyway, the receptionist lady gave me no shit about it, but then that afternoon shortly before I left work they called again. I called back as I was walking to my train(which I barely missed). Apparantly the lady there wanted to warn me. She said that althougth I was approved to come in late on Tuesday, that this client realy doesn't like when people call out and come in late. Monday, if you recall, I was too sick to go to work, and Tuesday I went in late for that same reason. Since I just started the job on the 30th, the poor attendence looked bad, and that really bothers that client apparantly. Which didn't thrill me. I was sick, and everyone there knows it. Hell, I'm still not totally well. I'm not going to go to work when I'm ill and don't have health insurance. And, I'm sure as hell not going to put my job search on hold for two fucking months while I wallow in temping hell with no insurance, vacation, or benifits. And, I like this job alright. They keep me busy, and its less monotonous then data entry, but there's only so much I can deal with. If they give me too much shit about stuff, and want to fire me or something, I'll walk, even though Officeteam has effectively dropped me. There are plenty of temp agencies and plenty of temp jobs, I'm not going to let one, even if it's a decent one, control my fucking life. I really need a real job. Update ya later Post

[08 Jun 2006|07:42pm] [ mood | disappointed ] Life kinda sucks today. Lee and I aren't hanging out tommorrow, he's going to the opera with his mom. Which is totally understandable, but I'm still really fucking disappointed. I've had a bad week, I coulda used some fun. I got a call from a job today, hopefully that'll go somewhere. Lee not hanging out with me tommorrow shouldn't derail me quite so much, I'm just pmsy. At least tommorrow is Friday, and then there's the weekend. Which means spending the night at my grandma's on sunday casue my folks are going to the poconos. It just gets better and better. *sigh* Update ya later Post

sickly Monday [05 Jun 2006|12:11pm] [ mood | sick ] I felt so sick this morning I had to call out of work. Even though I took some generic nightquill before bed last night, it seemed to have the opposite effect. I felt wired, and kept waking up coughing and sniffling. It wasn't helped by the loud talking by family members at all hours of the night. Why were they up all night talking you ask? Well, my sister got assualted last night. Don't worry, she's fine, but it reaffirmed my hatred of the ghetto. My sister was standing in front of our house last night when two girls just jumped her. One of the girls used to be friends with her, but she hasn't had problems with either of them. We can only guess their motivation. Apparantly a friend of my sisters(who she's had a falling out with anyway), cursed at one of these girls Saturday night becasue she was blocking the street as they tried to drive down it. On Sunday that girl was scarce, but unfortunately my sister wasn't. We called the cops, and hours later they showed. I was upstairs talking to lee, and they fed my famiyl a line of bs about how they couldn't arrest her, and how she has to go downtown to file charges and get a PFA. My mom called the local stationhouse, and they said that becasue the cops did not witness the assualt, there was nothing that could be done. Luckily we can press charges, and we will. My parents are going to go into town tommorrow and do it. That bitch needs to be arrested. I'm so sick, I hope I'm better by tommorrow. Oh yeah, one last thing, officeteam is pissed at me. They called me this morning, and said that I made things bad for them, that they wished I'd ust been honest with them, and they wished me luck. So yeah, they will never assign me anywhere again, I've been blacklisted by them. Which sucks, but I'll deal. Hopefully I'll find a real job before this assignment ends in a couple monthes, I really want out of the ghetto. Cops who gave a shit would be nice. Update ya later Post

shorter then planned [25 May 2006|06:46pm] [ mood | blah ] I had a very hectic day today. First I had my job interview at Independence Blue Cross. I get there about 15 mintuies early, and I have to go through a complicated elevator system to get up to the 25th floor where HR is. I sit around and wait for awhile until the lady I am interviewing with comes by. She takes me back through the complicated elevator system to the 22nd floor. There wasn't very much to the interview, basically she just explained the job to me and asked me if I wanted to do it. The job was kinda tedious, but no more tedius then any other job I've had, so even though it's a two month assignment, I agreed to take it. After that she took my info, told me I'm starting on Tuesday, and I headed out. At this point it wasn't even 9:30 yet, and I figured I had had a pretty easy time(outside of my starting to panic over taking a neverending assignment.) Since I had time, I sat outside and gave careers usa a call, since they told me to call after the interview. I told them I got the job, and they told me to come on over. They are only like a block away, so I headed over there. Once there there were forms to fill out, and my very first drug test. Good thing I haven't done any drugs in well over a year. This whole process takes a little while. While there I get the rest of the job info, the pay scale(which is good) etc. After I finish up there they tell me to h...I'll have to finish this later, my sister is in the next room, and I'm on the phone. Update ya later Post

[23 May 2006|07:05pm] I'm feeling out of sorts, and I want to go play the sims, so this'll be short. I have another job interview set up for Thursday morning. it's through Careers Usa, a long-term temp kinda thing. It could turn permenent tho, and that's a good company, so i want to check it out. I got cleared for coming in late, I just hope we get our printer ink by then. I need to print out two resumes, and we have no ink, which really blows. We ordered some off the internet, but it hasn't come yet. And, i think that's all. I've eaten like a pig today. Update ya later Post

[13 May 2006|06:18pm] Lee and I didn't end up hanging out till late yesterday, so no hiking. He got horribly lost in Norristown, and he didn't get home till 3. Now, that would have been plenty early to hike, but he was too exhausted and stressed out from getting lost in the ghetto, so he wanted to wait till after rush hour. Around 6:30 he picked me up, though not from my house. My mom and my sister got invited to my cousin Georgy's prom send off. My mom doesn't trust me to lock up the house, so I got dragged along for about a half hour while I waited for Lee. I said hi to people inside the cramped living room, and then I escaped to sit on the step and listen to my ipod. Until lee came. After ....It's 7, I have a movie I want to see and family all around me. So, I'll finish this tommorrow. Update ya later. Post

i need to clear out the autocomplete stuff! [04 May 2006|07:07pm] [ mood | blah ] So, while being forced to check my stepdad's e-mail for him by my mother, I saw a message welcoming him to myspace!This is not at all good. I'm going to try to find him on there so I can block him. I also tried to make it so you couldn't search for me by name, but I couldn't figure out how to do that. Not that I have anything hugely controversial on there, but it's mere existance would be troublesome for me. Even though I can't imagine my mom would want my stepdad on a social networking site either. So, it's theoretically possible that even if he found me on there he wouldn't tell her. I'm going to try to be proactive about it though. I had my job interview with the USDA today. it went alright. I was kind of tired, I could have been more coherant. They will probably find someone more qualified then me, but I didn't bomb out or anything. I just couldn't come up with any questions becasue the guy who was interviewing me talked so much. he answered all my pre-formed questions. I should have said something to that effect, but I didn't. It's a good job too. Well, I can hope that everyone else who interviews for the job sucks. here's hoping! lee's car died on Tuesday evening. So, he had been trapped in his apartment since then. which led to me talking to him pretty much all day today due to his overwhelming boredom. Plus, he had wanted to know how my interview went. Good thing he has cingular. Anyway, he found out today that his car was ready, and when I last talked to him before dinner he was waiting for his dad to call him back to give him a ride. Which means we should be hanging out tommorrow,yay! Tommorrow is also my last day at my temp assignment, which is another yay! Even though the people I work with there are real nice. Yesterday I went online and bought myself a 1 gig IPOD shuffle for like 80 bucks. It was a little more then I was planning to spend, but they are so small and cute, and my patience has run thin with my current player. I'm gonna give it to my sister, and probably call it a birthday present since her birthday is next week. I was considering buying her a Bronx Tale DVD, but she's kind of a bitch so I'm not sure I feel like it. Maybe if I get a real job. I know, i'm cheap. I'll spend 80 bucks for myself and not even 12 bucks for my sister. If you knew her- you'd understand. Also next week I have jury duty. When i sent back the thing it sounded like fun, but now that I'm all sleep deprived and tired, I just don't feel like it. We'll see what happens next week. I think that's all. I'm all sleep deprived and I want to get off the computer and call Lee back. Update ya later Post

[02 May 2006|07:47pm] [ mood | okay ] [ music | TV-american idol(not by choice,lol) ] today I officially got the day off for Thursday for my interview. So, I'm online researching for the job right now. I'm excited, if I could get the job it'd be just perfect. I'm really going to try to be well prepared. I do believe I am qualifed for the job though, it's just a matter of selling myself. I'm desperately searching for an ipod. I really want one all of a sudden. Not that i don't like my little mp3 player, but the non-rechargeable battery and the limited storage are getting to me. They are really expensive though*sigh* Maybe I'll treat myself. Well, that's all for now, my mom is hovering around watching american idol. Which I guess is better then watching the flyers lose. Update ya later Post

[25 Apr 2006|07:03pm] [ mood | blah ] So, work sucked today. It was long and boring. Can't wait for the job to end. And the Flyers lose last night,boo!! That's all for now, I'm on the phone and I have shit to do. Update ya later Post
