More Job Interviews in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

So, after I was thinking that I am a loser because the secretary job never called me back, I finally heard back from them. They've narrowed the pool to three choices... and I'm in the top 3! I go back for a second interview on Monday around 10:30. Then, on top of all that, I got a call from another department on campus, and they want to interview me on Monday at no

Reply to Deciding to be fat in Misc JoeUser Forums

Jythier ~ Oh, I know they were trying to be nice. I never got mad at any of them for saying it, and part of me did feel good when they did, but there was that other part of me... it just drove me nuts. LW ~ I know you're right. I need to go ahead and say something. I know she's trying to be helpful, and I appreciate the idea, but I don't need it rubbed in my face. Doc ~ I realize it, but they happened to be wrong. And, I should

Deciding to be fat in Misc JoeUser Forums

I don't understand people's obsession with weight loss! I've talked about this before, and it is quite likely that I will talk about it again, but I really feel as though I have to talk about it now. You see, at the beginning of this year, I took all the anger/rage/hatred I had for my ex and channeled it into exercise. I lost a little over 20 lbs. I felt b

Yay! At least I'll have a buddy on the alien ship! That should make it less scary. But I always thought I would die at age 107 in a skydiving accident...

Reply to My stomach is in knots in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Shovel -- me too. I may get nervous for the interviews, but waiting to hear back is killer! LW -- Thanks for the good vibes. I'll make sure to tell you sooner so you can start rounding up the little furry creatures. Amanda -- thanks. I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets this way while looking for a job. And, I hope she isn't kidding. I need all the help I can get, and some of the gods prefer sacrifices... <img src="../images/s

My stomach is in knots in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I interviewed for a pretty good job last week, and I'm supposed to hear back from it today. It's 10:30 and I haven't heard anything yet. I'm stressing out so much that it's making me feel yucky. I really, really, really need a job and so far, I'm having zero luck... which is strange because I have plenty of work experience, I'm a good person, smart, hard-working, y

Reply to Pictures of SHE's apartment in Photography JoeUser Forums

Jythier -- and I'm afraid the pictures don't fully do it justice. You can't see the other LotR poster or the "Everything I know about life I learned from Star Wars" poster or tell that all the books in my room are fantasy. The other books are in the living room. SanC -- You'd be more than welcome. The price for a night's lodging is bringing your guitar (one of them, at least) and playing some music. Lady -- yeah, apparently bricks

Yeah, my current roommate is also a past roommate. I lived with her (and most of the group that was here) the summer after my freshman year, and again my junior year in college. She still talks to all of those people, but the ones I can't stand are more friends of the bride-to-be than friends of my roommie. In fact, they pissed my roommate off pretty bad, and I really doubt I'll be seeing any more of them. <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif" borde

I think him calling me honeysuckle was enough to set tongues wagging. Actually, it's not like that with him. We make great friends, but other than that, there's no spark. Besides, if I had "gone out" with him that night, I know exactly what would have happened. I would have ended up on his computer playing video games while he played games on his laptop. Which is actually qu

Reply to JUWC - Haiku - lonely in Writing JoeUser Forums

It's better than the haikus my old poetry class used to come up with. Our teacher let us write them on Halloween... each person wrote one line, then passed it on for the next person to write a line and so on and so on. There were all creepy, but that was fine since it was Halloween. We did the same thing for Thanksgiving and Christmas... but they all turned out creepy too. People exploding from eating too much turkey, and Santa did some very naught

Wow, Mason, that actually worked. I have a smile on my face now and I'm even laughing a bit. Thanks! (Though, I will admit, I think it would have been funny if the sad face had punched the singing one and then got happy... but maybe that's just me.) Locamama -- I've already moved. Unfortunately, the leftovers from the past have followed me back for a weekend. I won't see them often (hopefully never again) so i

There are days now where I don't even think about him or, if I do, I don't get that awful punch-in-the-gut feeling. It's strange to go backwards so much... but I guess it's like when I quit smoking; most days were fine and then, wham, a super craving that came out of nowhere. Thanks for the kind words, Shovelheat. I appreciate it.

scared, lonely and hurting in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

There are about ten people in my living room right now -- four of whom I never wanted to see again in this life or the next. I don't want them here, but they are my roommate's guests and, because I'm trying to be nice, I can't be the bitch I want to be. So, instead of going out and making a scene, I'm sitting quietly in my room. I can't leave, because I don't want

A video of the guy I let use my shower in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

LW told me to put up pictures of my FFF (first Fayetteville friend) when I put up pics of my new apartment. My roommate still can't find her camera, so there are no pictures as of yet. However, my FFF posted this video about working on his thesis and I, having written a thesis before as well, found it really funny and true to life. So, for your enjoyment, I give yo

I saw this ad above an email in my gmail account, and I couldn't resist clicking on it. I'm not a mother, and I haven't changed many diapers, so for all I know, this product could be really useful. However, as a single gal, I just find it really funny. Enjoy. Link <!-- Ju-Anc
