Remember those stories I was writing?
Maybe you don’t, but whatever.
I don’t know what to do with them anymore. It’s a literary hot mess.

AU CONTRAIRE!
No longer will I have to think of that line from “Martin” anymore. I start working on Tuesday.
Time to get those low-key celebrations going…
With regards to good friends, you can always assume when they’ll be there for you. For true friends, they’ll always be there for you, even when you don’t expect it.

As I lay restless in my bed the other night, it hit me: September 11 is coming this Friday. I couldn’t believe that it will be eight years since all our lives had forever changed.
It’s how I feel right now.
There is so much I want to do and I can’t fathom how I could complete everything.
There is the quest for employment, the quest to become better with Photoshop, the quest to want to be a better artist (haven’t been doing much actually), the quest to be a better overall writer, the quest to improve my two or three other unfinished stories, and the quest to be a better person overall.
I think I think too much. I spend so much time trying to do too much at once that I cannot get anything done.
On the one hand I am keeping myself busy…but how is that I haven’t accomplished anything?
(15:03:53) Me: i hear youre getting new internets
(15:03:54) Me: congrats
(15:03:59) Michelle: yep
(15:04:04) Michelle: already got it
(15:04:09) Me: oh my goodness gracious
(15:04:11) Michelle: gonna be playing with it tonight
(15:04:19) Me: that sounds dirty
(15:04:35) Michelle: lol its meant to sound dirty
(15:04:38) Me: hahaha nice
I suppose that is the theme of life on this 27th day of July.
It’s a strange day; it feels pleasant outside yet my house boils like a sauna. Humidity is at a heightened level; I can’t even sit straight without perspiring.
It’s becoming more and more difficult to wake up each morning with a smile.
I don’t particularly like these circumstances but I cannot let anyone else down.
Someone I know had this as her status:
=( Burned my finger on the hot racks in the stove… ouchie…
Since I don’t like her very much at all, I did the ol’ Jerry Manuel chuckle.
Life is average, but can be better. I’m hoping it will…
I found a link that gives some good advice on the 25 most difficult questions a hiring manager would ask during a job interview. The article was written sometime in the ’80s and written for suits and other people seeking to get executive jobs (the advice may not help those getting a job at Foot Locker or UPS, which is *always* hiring). Nevertheless, advice like this is timeless and is worth sharing.
An excerpt:
1. Tell me about yourself.
Since this is often the opening question in an interview, be extracareful that you don’t run off at the mouth. Keep your answer to a minute or two at most. Cover four topics: early years, education, work history, and recent career experience. Emphasize this last subject. Remember that this is likely to be a warm-up question. Don’t waste your best points on it.
2. What do you know about our organization?
You should be able to discuss products or services, revenues, reputation, image, goals, problems, management style, people, history and philosophy. But don’t act as if you know everything about the place. Let your answer show that you have taken the time to do some research, but don’t overwhelm the interviewer, and make it clear that you wish to learn more.
You might start your answer in this manner: “In my job search, I’ve investigated a number of companies.
Yours is one of the few that interests me, for these reasons…”
Give your answer a positive tone. Don’t say, “Well, everyone tells me that you’re in all sorts of trouble, and that’s why I’m here”, even if that is why you’re there.

It’s a lie; there is no yard sale.
Haven’t been blogging in a while. Lots of things have happened but I’m not in a mood to tell all yet.
So just go ahead and kick yourself for wasting time.
