In which I flail around a bit more because apparently I’m a bit of a moron.
When you’re fourteen, you go to high school. That’s just what you do; everybody knows this. When you’re eighteen, you go to college. After college, you go to work and strive to pay off your student loans.
Eventually, you meet someone [...]

In which I can stay up all night if I want to, because I have nothing to do during the day.
Yesterday I watched TV and ate a burrito. That was my entire contribution to the world. Srsly.
Last night I left the house at 8 o’clock, picked up the Wolf, and went to Barnaby’s for open [...]

In which there are germs.
I have a rotten chest cold. It sucks. I don’t like it.
I’m also pretty sure that nearly everyone is way cooler than me because goblinbox.com is gonna be nine in two weeks and I still don’t have a book deal.
That is all.

In which it’s that time of year again!
About every year, Windows gets reinstalled on my personal computer.
This is not because I enjoy reinstalling Windows, oh no. It’s because it shits the bed about every twelve months and has to be reinstalled.
My darling Eee PC 900HA (my baby, my littlest, my daily driver) started hanging ultra [...]

In which I share a brief list of my recent activities.
Sunday night I set my alarm for 8 o’clock because I believe that I need to start getting my sleep cycle back to normal grown-up hours. Monday I got up at 8:30, which is much better than 2 o’clock, and drank a very large cup [...]

In which I am the embodiment of laziness.
Okay, so I totally need to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress (like two weeks ago) but I’m TOO LAZY TO GET IT ACCOMPLISHED, which is ineffably lame since I have nothing but time, time, time.
This is what I’ve accomplished this week:
1. I let Skype import my [...]

In which I go on about my ex-husband and how batshit crazy I am.
As y’all know, sometimes I troll my own archives. Today I found this post from May of 2007:
I don’t know what you did last night, but I went to my divorce party.
Wow. I sure was nice about The Ex back then.
Today I’m [...]

In which I recap yesterday’s interview at the co-op.
Usually when I walk out of an interview, especially a third interview, I know if I’m going to get the job or not.
This time I have no idea.

I got a business very-casual vibe the first time I interviewed for this job, plus I’m a geek interviewing [...]

In which I share with you some of my prized possessions.
Part Three: The Apple coaster
This is a coaster I cut out of a mouse pad:

I worked for a company called Telegroup in Iowa a long time ago. It was an Apple shop, and I ended up with this old school Apple mousepad which I eventually [...]

In which week 5 of my unemployment marks the beginning of the ass kicking.
It’s 4:33 on Friday. It’s been a week since the killer interview, and I haven’t heard anything back. This probably means that they’re not going to hire me.
In order to (legally) receive UI benefits, I must apply for three jobs each week. [...]

In which unemployment is beginning to take its toll.
I stayed up well past two, watching Torchwood on Netflix. (I still love you, Ianto!) Then I slept for about twelve hours.
Not straight through, though. I actually woke up at ten and thought about getting up, but I didn’t. I just laid there until I went back [...]
