Superbowl < Desperate Housewives

WHY must the superbowl cancel my favorite show, ever? Desperate Housewives always seems to have the weirdest things going on. Some nights are re-runs, and then other Sunday’s it’s a brand new one. I don’t get it. Even during the regular peak season. What’s going onnnnnnuhgg.

The job hunt is going well. I had one interview on Friday afternoon – thought it just went “ok”. Then the company e-mailed me that evening asking me to come in for a second interview today! The followup interview went good. We’re in the middle of negotiating salary. It’ll be a 1yr contract since one woman will be going on mat-leave.

I have another interview here in Scott’s city on Wednesday morning, so I bussed it over to his apartment today.

AND. Get this. Another “meeting/interview” for freelancing, next Tuesday. If buddy offers, I’m definitely accepting. Doing design during the evenings/weekends will bring me some more cash that I probably wouldn’t make in a salary during my full time position. Everyone wants to interview me, but nobody wants to pay me enough. haha. Dang being a fresh new designer. :) Cross your fingers.

Here’s a new fun song for you all to download!

I quit my job

Ok, so I guess my news wasn’t as exciting as everyone might have thought. No, I am not engaged Neil! I just quit my job. My dream job, but had a lot of conflict with one person and I could never avoid it. So I decided to up and leave. It was for the best, meaning with my health and mental state. I was completly drained by the end of it, and I don’t regret quitting at all. I do miss the place, dearly. I’ve made a bunch of amazing friends. There WILL be other awesome web design opportunities for me, and I’m positive of that. I e-mailed my portfolio, resume and cover letter out all last week, and I made a ton of cold-calls and got a few contacts email addresses so that they could see the work that I am capable of. However, it’s a slow process. Mind you, I did move up to Ontario from Newfoundland and within 3 weeks I was hired at x-company. Star star sigh star star ;) Right Seanald? hehe. My “ex” co-workers are still so great to me. Helping me out with getting a new job & still hanging out and picking me up during lunch to go eat with them at places. <3

I’ve been spending a lot more time at Scott’s place now. Kind of feels like I’m being a visitor again and then flying back to NL. When I had a job it was only Fri, Sat, Sun that I would see him – and now I can stay….forrrreverrrrrahhh! Well. You know what I mean. Uhg, we just had a big old feed of McDonalds and my stomach is crying.

There is nothing on TV. No wonder I rarely turn on the tv at my apartment. I can’t wait to see tomorrow’s episode of Desperate Housewives! Gah, did anyone see last weeks where Orsin’s Mom drugged him into having intercourse with his EX wife HAHAHAHAHA. Shocking, I love it. Gabby is my favorite character on the show though. I love how shallow she is, and her lines are always the best.

I’m off….to channel surf for the rest of the evening

Happy Almost Birthday!

 

 

OOOoooooh! My Dad’s birthday is in a couple of days – guess he’ll be recieving his birthday card a little late. Whoooops. Time flies. HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY DAD IF YOU READ THIS!! <3 hehe, I taught him how to do the “<3” heart in googletalk the other day. One more step for him into becomming internet savvy. Bazzammmm!

I bet anyone (boring) who reads my site a hundred bucks that I had a much more interesting week than them. Let’s see, Monday was pretty complicated. I decided to go ahead and confront a higher authority at work about my current position. That, or consider other options. I’m being vague for a very good reason here folks. Alright, so…next day….Tuesday, I worked out pretty hard for the first time pretty much, since November. I couldn’t run my two mile warm up! Brutal, my arm pits were hurting the next day. Wednesday I went to a Yoga class for the first time – we were doing some difficult positions that actually made me break a little sweat. Then at the end, we had some time to relax/meditate, which I call “Pre-school Nap time”, since a couple of people dozed off and started snoring. I gotta tell you, I wasn’t that relaxed there….since it was in the basement of a church haha. Thursday, a co-worker was driving me to a DR’s appt and we got into a car accident. Everyone is fine. I feel terribly guilty about it all, since SHE was doing ME a favor. I just hope she can get her car fixed. Uhg.. okay on Friday / today at work I was feeling a little ill. I went to the washroom a few times feeling like I had to hurl in the can. When finally I was sitting at my cubicle with one sneaker off, I had to jet out of my chair run to the bathroom while pulling my hair back into a ponytail, and barf about a weeks worth of food up in on of the toilets in the stalls. I won’t be too graphic with that one… but let me tell you, it wasn’t pretty. Though, what vomit is pretty? Ok ok I’ll stop. Yah, that’s the extent of me updating for the week. Later all! RANDOM.
