Job hunts suck...
So... I've submitted my resume to like 35 places now... Looks like the job market in Wisconsin sucks. (Or maybe it's just ME!) I had a call...I was so excited. This guy called, said he had a job that was PERFECT for me. He said he would submit it to these people at like 9 am 2 days ago & I haven't heard back from anyone.. :'( I tried calling yeserday & left a message & called again today & got a machine...I really, really need/want this job. I mean...even if I didn't get it...can't they just call back & say like you suck...they didn't want you? Or...we gave the job to someone else...or we are looking at resumes & will get back to you soon? Gah!!
OK so that's that. Just random whining from me again. Anyhow...I've been sick. For like ever 2 weeks almost. Plus being sick I've been depressed...you know just not wanting to get out of bed... not wanting to talk to anyone... stuff like that. It really sucks.
Oh well I'm going to stop whining & come back later when I'm not so crabby. ;)

I am lame
Ok I'm lame. I just updated my book marks to point to my new log...ta-da. I'm really here...sometimes. I really should have been a blonde .... I know. I wonder if the weblog world has forsaken me? You know... it's ok. I don't have all the cool linkies & stuff everone else does. :( I just don't have time. Know what else? The only time I get to see a prett pink :: dealie is when i post more than once a day.
I got an email back after submitting a resume... it says "We might be looking for a person in the 20-30 hour range, but unfortunatly, we can't afford a high price super star. If your goals are in the lower
end, like the $7 an hour range, let me know." Gah! I never said I was a super star... but I think maybe $7 is on the lower pond sucking end unless it comes with benifits. Am I wrong here? My sister said my nephew started at more than that working at Mc. Donalds! (Really!!) Someone give me some guidance! :) Yikes. Oh well...we'll see. Nitey nite.

Aaahhhh...
Well the big job hunt is on... Bob really wants to move back to Wisconsin, & once again, if we don't do it with our taxes it will never happen. Sooo... I am now seeking employment in Wisconsin. I don't know how I feel about it yet. I'm really sad, & excited & scared at the same time. My sister is having a new baby, & I may be there this time! My 2 best friends fron forever ago may be moving back.. but there's the whole uncertainty that scares me. Where will we live? Can we find jobs? Where will the kids go to school? Will the car be ok driving there? You know...
Oh well, I'll keep trying & keep ya posted.
Been watching Rose Red. It's pretty good. It really sucks trying to watch tv with the kids though. They talk & talk & ask questions & want something to drink but are too scared to get up...when they wanted to watch in the first place. I hate scary movies! Geeze!! Now it's not on agian til Thursday?! What's up with that?
So I've been really really sick with the flu for over a week. And 2 people have asked me..."Did you get your flu shot?" Am I retarded? NO I didn't get a flu shot! I don't think I've ever got a flu shot. Is there some whole medical thing I am missing out on because I'm retarded? I thought only old people were supposed to get flu shots? Oh well... guess I learned my lesson huh? blah.
You know what really makes me mad? When I submit a poem to a website & they give me some lame crap about poet of the year. Yeah, I can go & pick up my silver bowl trophy if I pay $600... what a bargain. I mean yeah, it includes a trip to some huge poetry seminar in Florida, but come on. Thing that makes me sick is thinking of how many poor people actually pay to go...& think that they are actually achieving something. Now if they send you a plane ticket & say you rock! We want you to come...that's different. Ya know? whatever. There's a sucker born every minute...& I'm just glad I'm not one of 'em this time.
Know awhat els sucks? Trying to type with 2 hands. It's like being right handed & trying to write with your left. But i bet if I get the hang of it I could really type like a million words minute, so I'm trying. Really... I'm doing it right now. Feels really weird. Why oh why do I have to learn things backwards & then learn them the right way.
Oh! And get this! I was looking over the want ads, & it was like must have blah blah blah skills, & like big dogs. wtf is that? Eek...gotta go to bed feel really pukey.

Hmmm??
Am I an Internet snob?! I just realized that I was looking on Google...clicked a link...saw a Front Page template loading & left! Is that wrong? Does that make me a bad person? Really now... I'm sure it looks good to someone, but I just couldn't look at it. Don't they realize their site looks like about 5000 other sites on the Internet?! Where's the creativity...the learning...the beauty of it all. Gah! It's like a fat person in spandex... people just don't wanna see that crap! At least I don't.. :{

Poems...
So...I was feeling kind of depressed & I wrote some poems. This was a few months ago... I've been thinking a lot about my past & stuff...
Darkness thick in sweat
Stinging like heavy breath
Frightened
Seething nights
Every solice dislodged that night
I
am
so
alone...

OMG!
I'm baaacckkk I've really missed this place...looks like there's a lot of new stuff going on in the Blog world. Since I've already promised his weekend to someones website... I guess I'll just hope I have time to change a few things & maybe fix that irritating missing box in the calendar thing? aagh. I've decided to post a very strange letter I got not long after registering this domain...
Hello there,
I am working for Paltemaa Huttunen Santala TBWA Oy advertising agency in
Finland and I would like to know if it is possible to get a copy of the
recent Ask Jewels.com TV-commercial shown in England.
I don't have any idea what kind of a film it is, but I have heard that
it is really funny.
If you already have it in digital format and it could be sent via email,
that would be great. We can then watch it with Quick Time. Also a
VHS-copy would be just fine.
If there is any costs for you, please let me know. Also, please tell me
if this will not be possible at all.
Thank you already in advance!
Best Regards,
Paltemaa Huttunen Santala TBWA Oy
Hanna Pehkonen, Production Manager
Well! That really freaked me out... I thought I was sitting on one of those really hot million dollar domian names right...
So I replied, & got this:
Hello Julie,
and thanks for your reply. No wonder you are confused, as we got a mixed-up
with askjeeves and askjewels.
That is actually quite funny, because my collegue asked me to find out if I
can get a copy of ask jeeves recent tv-spot. I understood her wrong and
tried to find askjewels material. I first checked the web-pages and what a
coincidence that I really found your pages!
So, now I already have found the missing material from askjeeves, your tough
competitor.
Sorry about the mixed-up. Have a nice autumn!
Kind Regard from sunny Finland!
Hanna
Weird huh? haha...
