feeling hot hot hot ...

in celebration of random friday, here is a posting full of random things.

either my allergies are killin' me, or i have a cold. i haven't quite figured it out yet.

i saw this on the daily show a couple of nights ago. presidents should not be allowed to boogie.




here is an interview from 'the hour' with my new crush, sam raimi. even if he is married with five kids . his wife is the daughter of lorne greene. which i find interesting as i am currently making my way thru battlestar galatica (the original). starring lorne greene and one of my childhood crushes, dirk benedict. sigh.

after i accepted my new job, i got an email for another job interview that pays a lot of money. a lot. i'm tempted to go and just see what's up. should i?

also, remember this job? the one where i had to do a personality test? they finally called me and offered it to me. my ego loved it, as the woman seemed quite disappointed when i had to turn it down.

here is my random top ten. it's totally random today.

1. live wire - mötley crüe
2. van lear rose – loretta lynn
3. block rockin' beats – the chemical brothers
4. ashes to ashes – steve earle
5. mis-shapes – pulp
6. the ring – sarah harmer
7. under the bridge - red hot chili peppers
8. easy goin sunday – the knitters
9. tra la la song [banana splits theme] – hanna-barbera (yay! bananas!)
   
10. gatekeeper – feist

ps... barbara - i haven't forgotten about the questions. i will try and post my answers this weekend.

have a great weekend everyone!

remain calm, do not panic ...

ok, i was supposed to hear back about the job today. i heard nada. i resigned myself to the fact that i did not get it.

however, i got an email around dinner time saying that they hadn't forgotten me and they haven't made a decision yet and i will hear something next week. plus one of my references emailed me and said they contacted her.

ok, i know. i need to relax. but it's so hard.

moving on, it's friday and it's random top ten time. and i find number one quite appropriate today.

1. you are not your job - gas huffer
2. fashion bleeds - archers of loaf
3. angelene - pj harvey
4. you know you're right - nirvana
5. 3 small words - josie and the pussycats
6. dig me out - sleater-kinney
7. get ready for love - nick cave & the bad seeds
8. main title (xena: warrior princess) - joseph loduca
9. garlands - cocteau twins
10. highlights - backyard babies

have a good weekend everyone!

and from this moment on, i'll be crying, crying, crying, crying ...

today sucked. big time.

for those of you who don't know, i've been short listed for the job i really want. i had to go and write a bunch of tests today. and they were so hard! really hard and complicated math questions that i had to answer without a calculator. i sucked! i choked! i wanted to throw up. (but didn't)

i am now going to crawl into my bed with my dog and a bottle of wine.

please, please, please let me get what i want ...

ok, i had a job interview today. and, i really, really, really want this one. more than any of the jobs i've applied to. except for this ultra cool job i applied to a year and a half ago. i don't even want to talk about that job right now.

the money is more than what i made at my last job (but, it will probably translate into about the same, because my transportation costs will go up). the benefits are awesome. vacation time is better than most places. i really like the area of vancouver it's in. it's good to drive to, and it's good for public transport as well. the building is cool and they have windows! lots of them! and, after the interview was finished, i wanted to hug my potential new boss. and i am not a hugger. she just seemed like one of the nicest people in the world. maybe i shouldn't be posting this. i'm probably cursing myself. but i have to let some of this out.

i do have a 1/2 woot on the job front. i did get the working at home job. it's only casual so i'm not making a whole lot of money. but it's better than nothing.

i also filled out an application to volunteer for something that could be fun. i'll update if they accept me.

you may not see me around much in the next little bit. i've got some casual work lined up which involves lots of computer use, so i'll be cutting back on some of the fun stuff for awhile. plus i am working on a post which is in a different vein for me. it involves a bunch of research and more brain power than usual.

i know i owe some of you emails and stuff. i'll try and catch up soon.

good day sunshine...

today was a beautiful day. i celebrated by going to the dog park for two hours.

so, i had a job interview today and i think it went really well. my instincts say that the company and the people there are decent. i think i could enjoy working there.

my main concerns are

a. the pay. i have no idea what the pay is yet. i fear it is not much. this is not based on anything in particular. just my normal pessimistic nature.
b. benefits. i don't think it will come with any benefits (it's a contract type position)
c. having to start all over again once i finish the job.

if i get and take this job, i will celebrate by

1. buying a ticket to social distortion
2. reviewing my finances and checking to see if i can go to toronto for easter weekend. i have decided to plan as if i am going. i have already put in my request for tickets to 'the hour'. my buddy has been informed and has a futon ready for me. i have started to mentally pack shoes. :)
