taerowynIs it wrong to make white russians is pint glasses?
Survey says.......NO!
My day today involved...
- doing laundry
- hoping to receive emails/phone calls from the bazillions of resumes I've sent out
- receiving a rejection letter from one such sent resume
- looking for more places to send resumes to
- watching a movie
- watching TV
- doing a very late wedding cross-stitch while watching the afore-mentioned movie and tv
- surfing the web
- playing games online
- not cleaning my room
- not writing a pitch for the kick ass profile piece I should really be trying to sell
- hanging out with the roomies and having really weird conversations*
- cooking dinner
- indulging my sweet tooth
- complaining about my lack of a job
Basically, if you remove that first item...yep, that's pretty much been my day-to-day life the past month or so. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I did learn how to roll sushi today which was cool. I need to go for more rice and less filling cause if there's filling in the center that the sticky rice doesn't touch...well it kinda falls out. Homemade sushi = healthy, cheap, delicious (and guaranteed not to have raw fish and give me flashbacks of working at the aquarium).
I am ashamed to say that I watched American Idol this evening. We mocked incessantly, but still, there was the whole voluntarily watching aspect that shames me considerably. I want the 30 year-old guy to win...just cause.
I need a job, I need a job, I need a job.
Actually applied for a part time administrative position at a modeling agency today. Somehow, methinks I'm not quite what they're looking for. How come I'm over-qualified for all the jobs I don't want, but could really use right now and under-qualified for all the jobs I actually want? I think I just spent tens of thousands of dollars to make myself totally unemployable...go me!
Work has been interesting this week...apparently they're producing a brochure and I've been writing parts of it. Basically I'm taking the best of their projects and summarizing them. These are multi-year in-depth endeavors and I'm given a boiled down 3-5 page summary of each. I have to pare it down to a paragraph. Blaise Pascal had it right with his quote "The present letter is a very long one, simply because I had no leisure to make it shorter." It's damn hard to be that succinct (as evidenced by this entry, where I didn't even try).
Oh, Oh, Oh. I forget who it was, but whichever of you recommended Flatland, thanks! That was a fun read. I highly recommend that people check it out. It's just such a mind-bending thought exercise.
Really should go to bed now. My glass is empty and those summaries are waiting for me bright and early tomorrow. Sweet dreams and all that...
*For instance, we created a new zen koan while rolling sushi...if a kernel of sticky rice (aka sushi rice) were placed in a vacuum, would it still be sticky?
I told you the conversations were weird
