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.

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!

Marcus and I were watching CSI: Miami tonight and in response to something he said, I went, "Yip, Yip, Yip, Yip." It sounded darned familiar and then it dawned on me: It was those silly aliens from Sesame Street. Isn't amazing how these things stick in your memory?



Speaking of television, I watched the premiere of The Class. Man, that show was dumb and I'll never waste precious time on that thing again. I didn't know the premise of the show before I watched. A guy wants to surprise his girlfriend on the 20th anniversary of their meeting (first day of 3rd grade) by having a party reuniting people from that class, even though none of them have ever kept in touch. LAME! Yeah, don't see this series running long term. I also can't believe The New Adventures of Old Christine is back. I recorded The Megan Mullaley show this afternoon. Not going to watch that again, either. Not entertaining at all. When in the hell does Medium come back?

I totally forgot to mark this joyous occasion. Forty years ago yesterday, a mere three days before I was born, the crew of the Star Ship Enterprise began their trek into television and human history. Thank you, Gene Roddenberry.

I'm watching season 2 of 24 while I'm going through stuff. Kimberly Bauer is an idiot. Getting into trouble once or twice I can understand. More than that? You're just stupid. I can totally understand the grieving for your mom part, but she was stupid before her mom died. It took me awhile to get into the second season because she kept turning me off.
