Today's Best Thing!

Guess who just lost 5 more pounds!

Today's funny thing

I wish I was a cartoonist.

Funny things, funny things, hmmm, funny things ...

Nope, got nothing.

I do like this web site though: http://imjustwalkin.com/

Typo

Sorry - I'm not resigning my lease; I'm re-signing my lease.

Funny, cause that whole last post was about jobs and stuff. Hunh. Freudian much?

I was reading the blog of a friend and I realized that I don't really write funny stuff any more. I wonder if I am all out of funny. I think one of the main reasons for this is because I'm trying to get away from sarcastic writing. It doesn't always come across and when it doesn, it just seems so snarky. I don't want to be that kind of writer. There's so much of that out there on the internet - nit-picky snarkists who do nothing but slam everything with what they think is sarcastic humor. Sigh.

It's like when we were kids and we thought we were better than whatever we mocked.
Mocking = derision = derivative = beneath us. It's a simple, logical equation.

But no more! I don't like it. And I don't want to do it. So I therefore challenge myself. I will write funny stuff that is NOT derisive. How, you ask? Good question. Because so many people deserve it.

Stepping it up

Well, a month and a half into stepping down and I'm finding that I really have to tighten that ol' belt. It's really only a problem because I'm resigning my lease and I didn't budget for a new security deposit on the apt. Enh, I'll figure it out.
Meanwhile, the job hunt is going good. I had an interview today at a place where I really want to work but it'll be another couple of weeks before I find out anything. Sigh.
So there go any really exciting plans for the summer. I had planned on beach volleyball, but I guess I'll have to settle for sitting by the river here in Watertown.
Here's hoping the end of the summer puts me someplace brand new!

Shut up, fool!

Well, the job hunt just kicked itself into high gear. Hello! How are you? Aren't you good-looking, you job prospect, you!

So I have been interviewing at one really lovely place, and they are on the verge of offering me a job, and then the day before they would do that, I had an interview at another lovely place. Well, that put me in a quandary. What to do? Oh, I have an answer - FREAK OUT! That's what you do.

THEN the day after all that goes down, I get two more requests for interviews. 2 more. See how I made that bigger to really emphasize it?

My head is about to explode. My immediate plans? Go see the A-Team with Kati tomorrow night. Why? Because I love it when a plan comes together.
