what an annoyance what did i expect? i don't know. not this. |
|
i should visit people my ex-boss asked if i was going to travel. you know, "travel," used in that 'take a few months and just jaunt around europe' kind of way. i refrained from explaining that unlike he and his family i am not independently wealthy and i was working for more than just kicks. |
jennicam.com is no longer. there is a void. |

justin hall revealed what an asshole he is and presumably always was with his comments on this innocuous story. reason # 12,381 to distrust PayPal (for randomly enforcing rules and hitting code orange when the only person benefitting from this enforcement is some PayPal intern.) Managers and hiring professionals, look for "PayPal TOS enforcement" on the next resumes handed to you, then think about who would lift their fat pinky to contain such a crisis as the jennicam. she was sick of it anyway. everyone was. it is 2004 and i still have to explain to friends and family that the internet is something more than naked chicks in their bedrooms. |
how do i get there? car-less? i wanna do they rent out hybrids these days? austin too or somewhere with white beach and clear water |
|
come to austin right away. i'll find you a job. teach. you could teach at UT. |
you could do the grey pooch too. |
funny my last check is less than half of normal and i can only guess that it's because of old sick days that they said were fine grr |
Good. God. Almighty. My mom offered to let me stay with her for a month while I temped in Boston. That's tempting me. I loved it up there with her. We got along really well, too. I'd move to Boston for real in a heartbeat, if the cost of living weren't so high. |
|
i also have two interviews from the two things i sent out but didn't really want to, i felt too guilty to blow them off. strangely i don't want to go. i am nervous, i don't feel ready to interview, or work again. perhaps frightened of rejection, or at least want to avoid it. maybe i'm just lazy. maybe i just wanted a chance to visit agatha and sarah. not even sure how much money to ask for...what if i undercut what they would offer? crazy shit. |

I have had several interviews, but that's about it. Yesterday, a company teased me. They sent me an interview on a word document, that would not let me spell check, so I wrote the answers in my own document so I could check the spelling and paste them in. About an hour later, there was another email. This time it had an "official application" and a criminal back ground check request, so I am hopefull that that might get somewhere. I got my first unemployment check Monday. They wait 3-4 weeks before sending any payments out and hold the first week back, so over the next 2 weeks, I will get $1,640. Not bad I guess, but barely even half of what I used to get. I am really having fun being with Mikayla durring the day, but life is so weird and turned around right now. I stand out with all the moms waiting for Hayley to get off the bus, and cook dinner so it can be ready by the time Eri gets home. |
Why is individual health insurance so fecking expensive?? To keep my old health insurance on an individual rate, I'd have to pay $480 a month! Insanity. |
|
Subsidy rocks. |
|
Money with pictures of kiwi birds instead of expresidents. On the health care note, I'm getting new glasses in a couple of days. |
Sir Edmund Hillary (or Hills to his mates) is on our five dollar orange bill. There's a bird on a tenner (blue) Somone is on a $20 - its a minty greeny colour. |
should i be sleeping? prolly HA! so how much value would a shorter commute add to a job for you all? |
|
less gas less wear and tear on vehicle less time 1. salary 2. scope of work/projects 3. company 4. boss' personality 5. benefits 6. corp environment 7. commute time |
Cobra would be $1,000 a month for our family, so yes, we did sign the girls up for medicade. I felt that their health was too important to be stubborn about. It would be irresponsible not to have them covered. My Zoloft costs me $80, and the two blood pressure meds I take cost $18 each, so I am paying $120.00 a month for that. I was paying $240 a month plus co-pays of $10 each, so in reality, at least in my case, I am actually saving money. Except that I do not have the additional $1,600 income now...... |
. I can walk home and make myself lunch. I can get up mere minutes before I arrive at work, if I so desire. . I get to look at the mountains while I walk. But they don't pay me very much. |
|
everyone is out of work, barely able to afford healthcare. nice. im getting new glasses in a couple days too. my switch to bluecross is rockin. im savin about $400 bones per year vs. kaiser. and im paying about $30 for upwards of $300 dollars for really damn nice designer glasses. |
I've never used it. paying $30 for $300 designer glasses. that's what affordable healthcare is all about. |
It's so amazing. It's like 'Office Space' but in the UK and it's mostly about the insane boss of a paper company. You may find it for rent or sale at your local video store. I will never miss working in an office. I get a third of what i used to, money wise, but i never miss it. Not for a second. It's a twisted environment. And fuck "office casual" dress, while i'm at it. Humans aren't meant to wear dress shoes. Don't feel bad about not wanting a new job. The month and a half i was unemployed was the greatest month of my life. Check it out: Day 1- room mate tells us he's failed out of school. Owes us money or a new housemate. Day 2- He gets offered a full-time job the second place he tries, right across the street from our house. Day 3- First day working in the kitchen of chicken resturant. He casually mentions how he needs to find a replacement to take his room, turns out a waiter needs a room for february. Day 4- Second day at resturant, someone from the head office is visiting. "Hey kid, you're really good, how long have you worked here?" "This is my second day, sir!" "You're getting a raise!" He goes from $7/hour to $8 in 2 days. Day 5- He's working near the cutting table when he gets his hand too close to where they're chopping up frozen chickens... with those huge knives that can slice a whole chicken in half with one swipe. It slices the top of his left hand instead, luckily he only needed 4 stitches and there was no nerve or tendon damage. He could have easily lost all his fingers......... But now he gets workman's comp! until it's better! He gets paid to sleep after 3 days. that bastard. what a week. |
