It’s Office Night

For reasons I can't go into here, I'm not at work yet. I'm really not wanting to go there anymore. I think I'm allergic to the incense he must burn or something. Either that, or there's mold/mildew in the basement where we work. I expressed my frustration with working there to the old teacher that got me the job. She doesn't blame me one bit for not wanting to stay. I did tell her I will stick it out until the publication goes to print so as not to get her in a bind. It turns out that is not until the first Friday in October. So, a little over two weeks away. I was originally told Sept. 22, then the last week of September. Nobody there can get their stories straight. Grrr.

I need help from all of you out there. My resume was sent to a screen printer on Monday. I really, REALLY want to work there. It's very close to I-70 so on a good day, the drive will be less than a half hour. I sent a follow-up email on Tuesday with some samples of my work. Now, I just need to be called in for an interview. That's where you guys come in: Concentrate all of the positive energy and thoughts/prayers you can spare my way for me to get this job. Thanks in advance for your help!

I got an email from a place that the placement woman had sent my resume to last week:
Thank you for responding to the production artist position at xxxxxxxxxxxx. We received your resume and will be contacting you within the next few weeks to let you know what further action we would like to take. We appreciate your interest and look forward to speaking with you soon.
Um, ok. The next few weeks? How long do you expect me to stay underemployed? This is so stupid. The holidays are coming up , people. My unemployment checks will run out sooner than later. I want to work NOW!

At least I've got the season premieres of The Office and CSI tonight. I can't wait for this evening.

White and Nerdy

Weird Al is releasing his new album, Straight Outta Lynwood, on September 26. He released his new video through YouTube. The video is in the extended. It's for a song called "White and Nerdy." That song is totally hilarious! It's a parody "Ridin' " by Chamillionaire. Check it out.

NBC Sucks

It was just as I feared.

I read somewhere that Medium was going to be on Sunday nights now. Stupid NBC has Football Night in America on until the end of football season in early January. Well, NBC's Medium page does indeed now say "Returning to Sundays After Football." LAME! How can it return to Sunday when it wasn't there in the first place? You guys suck much monkey ass! Do we really need Deal or No Deal on every damn night? Hell, no! Can you tell that I am pissed about this? GRRRRRR!

Bad Timing

Aaaaaaah! The Barenaked Ladies are coming to town on November 21st and tickets go on sale on Saturday and Marcus promised to go with me the next time they came but we don't have that kind of money right now and they'll probably sell out before we do. I hope KBCO is giving away some tickets to this one.

Pull Out the Halloween Decorations

Fall is in the air, the days are getting shorter, the new season of television programs are starting. This could mean only one thing—it's time to pull out the halloween decorations! I love Halloween more than any other holiday, including Christmas. I was so happy when manufacturers started creating cool outdoor decorations. While not as large as the Christmas collection, I have several boxes of Halloween things. I'm always looking for unique items to add to my spooky stash. I have to have this Ghost Tree Face. It glows in the dark and fastens to either side of an object to make the ghost appear to be moving through the object. How clever! There's another awesome decoration that you hang on a tree and it seems like a Witch's Face is emerging from it. That site has a lot of cute things I'd like to have.
