Since when are people anxious to receive email from the IRS. It doesn’t seem right.

I really liked that article, too. I needed to read it.
Also, she looks a bit like Abby, don’t you think?
Go Bucks!
O-H-!

Zeb and Allison I miss you both very very much! Where have you guys been???
I’ve officially moved to Houston! I know my blogging has been non-existent, but once I’m all settled expect it to resume better than ever. I’m even thinking of starting a new blog…I MISS YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH! You guys better plan a visit soon!
Allison I’m so excited for you! How are things...
Overnighters give me so much time to think and contemplate.

FML.
So 3 of the applications that I sent in to OSU had cover letters attached that were for the Ohio News Network. To show how much the HR dept there looks at them, all three were referred to hiring managers, who have yet to call me. Probably because they actually DO read the cover letters.
I got an email from Max and Ermas tech support center telling me that the...

I went to Bob’s Bar (the cultural hub of the midwest) last night with Danielle.
We had dinner and a couple of margaritas at my place, watched some Reba, got bored, and wandered down to Bob’s Bar (its the only bar in the area other than this really super skanky looking place called el dorados)
We were both kind of scared to see what was going on at Bob’s Bar just because it...

I know, right? Ew. Washed up gay + 13 year old 3 pack a day smoking habit. It’s going to be styles from the 80s mixed with dingy colors and cigarette burns.

Jobhunt update:
OSU has referred two of my applications to hiring managers. No calls yet, but I’m waiting. OSUMC still has four applications in review. I’ve given up on that bitch at ODADAS (Ohio department of alcohol and drug addiction services) calling me back. I’ve called her 3 times. I think they blocked my number or something.

Dinner with Janice tomorrow....
There is no reason for me to turn the heat on in my car in the middle of SUMMER!
College Chef
So as I was cleaning my kitchen this afternoon I was thinking, “What can I do that will consume some of this crazy thing I have called free time, but at the same time, make some sort of difference.”
Then I came back to that same thought as I was kneading my homemade pizza dough. I thought “What do I enjoy doing? What would my friends enjoy if I were to force them to read my...
I’m taking up my Chinese book again and trying to relearn it. As well as my Spanish. I try to think in Spanish, it makes it easier to talk in Spanish if I’ve already thought of what I want to say.
It makes no sense to me why I try to learn these languages, they are my second choice languages. I would so prefer Italian and Japanese. Once I get better with my Chinese I’m going to...
I just got a call from Chase Staffing.
Fun!
In angrier news, I found out that I had to work back to back shifts…again this week. I did it Sunday and Monday and then last night I found out that I had to come in this morning.
I’m leaving at 2 though, so I’ll still make it to Bodega.
Yay!

This is the problem I keep coming back to. Every job I find that interests me I need so many years of experience. to get into.

Funny Funny!
Who wants to be right as rain? It’s better when something goes wrong.
When hard work don’t pay off and I’m too tired, there ain’t no room in my bed as far as I’m concerned, so wipe dirty smile off.
I am falling in love with Adele. Well, I mean, I would if she were a he, and not British, and not hit in the face.
My body isn’t adjusting well to this whole working AM shift thing. I’ve been going to bed earlier and earlier, but I’m still not able to fall asleep until almost 2 in the morning…Then getting up at 5:45. Ugh! I took a nap today, only an hour, but it was GOOD.
After work today I went to Arby’s. There was this adorable little black cat standing in the drive thru. As I...
Today was an unusually slow day at work. I got some really productive work done though, so I was proud of myself.
Then all of a sudden, I get a call from some guy coming in with the Gideons (mormons) conference.
Him: Yeah, I need to change the dates of my reservation. I need to come in Tuesday instead of Sunday.
Me: Okay sir, may I please have your last name?
Him: *last name*

I started working on a website.
I decided against the job in DC.
There are people on my roof, fixing a slow leak, waking me up.
I applied to a job with ODADAS, I hope I get it! I need to call them.
Chad and Allison, you’re two of the most talented people I know. You’re not a failure by any means. And you do exude sex. Or something like it.

I haven’t moved from bed all day. Beth just said she’d leave if I didn’t shower. I said bye.
I have days like that! They’re some of my favorites
Too much food...
I love Jason Mraz.
You’re putting too much food on my plate! Come on!
Some people stress eat. I know a lot of people that will stuff themselves with carbs during finals week, after a break-up, during the holidays; basically when they are under a lot of stress.
I’m not one of those people. I stress cook. Today I made hummus, cornbread, Rice Krispie treats, spiced pumpkin soup, and...
Scared and Excited
I have a phone interview tomorrow for the position of Night Audit Supervisor with the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill. I’ll nearly be doubling my salary, but at the same time, I’ll be doubling my expenditures. Instead of $325 a month, It will be at least $700, and that’s for a crappy neighborhood.
I’m going to have to start paying back my loans, there goes another...

Janina is back. Janina is the Front Desk Manager. She has been on maternity leave for almost 2 months. I’m so very excited. My schedule will finally be good again. The AFOM just can’t seem to figure out scheduling.
I mean, I ask for full time hours, I’ve said that I have an open schedule, and I don’t request that much off, and when I do, it is well in advance. So why does...

Hell City
So this weekend was the Hell City Tattoo Festival.
The Joyce Meyer Ministry retreat was also being held this weekend.
We had a lady tell us that she became physically ill because of all the satanists in the hotel, so she left.
The Hell City people are some of the nicest people we get all year.
But anyway, today, a Netjet pilot came up to the desk to check out and told us about what had just...
Oscar
At work, we have this silly little recognition program called Oscar Dollars. You get one when a manager recognizes you for doing something great that is out of the ordinary. We had a similar program in my high school. It didn’t really work then either, because the bad kids would get so many more than the kids that actually did anything good. But it “promoted their self esteem and made...

Marcon 2009
For those of you who don’t know, Marcon is a science fiction convention that has been coming the the Hyatt for 20 years. It’s a huge deal in the community, especially in the Midwest, but we even had people come in from Texas and California this year.
This year sent me home with a story that tops everything that has happened to me thusfar at the hotel. I was working a couple of nights...

My dog took it upon herself to eat cat shit. I took it upon myself to spank her.
Occasionally an animal will eat poop if it is having digestion problems. Some dogs are especially prone to doing this when they have an enzyme imbalance. Generally it can be fixed with a tablespoon or two of yogurt as it contains the enzymes needed to aid digestion and helps promote...

What a terrible awful soul-sucking day
I worked the overnight shift lastnight. I like it normally. I do an hour’s work of work and sit on my ass the rest of the night. Last night though, I heard something pop on my way to work. I figured I had just run over a rock or something, but no, it turns out I ran over a road spike of some kind. It was lodged into my tire and ripped a hole in it. I couldn’t plug it so I had to put...
Chinese Astrology 2008: Year of the Rat
You may have a difficult time slowing down and relaxing on this Saturday. Your mind may still be stuck in work mode, not surprising for someone who could be considered a workaholic. Take a peek outside of the forest and see what life has to offer. Spend some time doing nothing for a change.
So true. I work too much. Even when I’m not at work.

this career fair can kiss my ass… anyone know where i can find a job?
New York, Los Angeles, and DC
or you could try the healthcare sector. They always need people. Everyone gets sick.

It feels so weird not having class…
I have so much free time that yesterday I organized the apartment. I organized the bookshelf by genre, author, and size of book.
Planning my trip to DC. It’s going to to be a blast.
