Soooo....

[Not Afraid]

I should have bought that $1600 Tourmaline while I had the chance. DAMN!

Uh-oh. Our cockatiel is going to lay an egg again soon. She's pushing her butt into the corner of the cage and squawking again.

I originally thought she was male, and named her Merlin. 2 years later, I found an egg, and since then, she lays about 3 eggs 2-3 times per year. So, I had to change her name to Merlynn.

I swear I don't dwell on this all the time - but now they're asking for us to provide the name of our post-graduation employer so they can include it in the graduation programs. Because most people have post-graduation employers line up already - but not me.

So once again I brooding. What the hell is wrong with me? At this point, I honestly think that the spectre of that damn erroneous C is going to ruin the rest of my professional life. Everyone who looks at my resume says "wow!" Everyone who looks at my cover letter says "wow!" And they're honest-to-goodness "wows" from people who wouldn't hesitate to tell me exactly how I fvcked up.

And yet - the interest isn't there. Most of my classmates (with far less stellar creds) have jobs lined up. Good jobs, too. Jobs I'd love to have. And yet - here I sit.

I've had a few interviews, but mostly it's been nothing. And for all that nothing - they haven't even seen me yet, so they can't be put off by my appearance. And I can't get too upset about the interviews I've had. The DOT gets what - 2000+ applications for its 7 positions? I can't really push that off on appearance and say that's what sunk me.

I really don't get it. I don't need people fighting amongst themselves to recruit me, but to have next-to-no interest?

And the longer it takes, the harder it gets, because if my resume is "wow!" and I'm not yet employed, it sends a message to potential employers that there's obviously something wrong with me.

and what's wrong with me is that there was a C on my transcript that was there in error, and that's why I didn't get a summer internship, which is why I don't have a job now.

But I can't put that on my resume. and without that explanation, I look like damaged goods.

If I thought for a second it would work I'd open my own firm and hire the unemployed LoTers. But, I don't have a bunch of money - or any relevant experience - so that's not going to happen.

I want to break things. Large and expensive things. It's sucks that I went through all this just so I could remain a secretary.

While I love Chinese, Thai, and Japanese food, I'm completely unfamiliar with Vietnamese food. I can only go by what the Vietnamese who work in my office bring for lunch every day. And to be honest, whatever it is, it reeks. The lunchroom here is only used by Vietnamese staff at lunch time, no one else will go near it.

One of the assistants here pronounces the name "Smirnoff" as "Schmirnoff". "Mr. Schmeeernoff's office." I love it. Makes me smile.

[Morrigoon]

I hear ya Pru. I really hear ya.

Where are these great jobs people are getting and how come I can't find them?

[CoasterMatt]

I just found Nemo... I haven't eaten seafood in years.

Being sick, sucks.
