WOOHOO!

[luna]

job interview on Monday. omg I desperately need a job, especially since EI decided to fuck me over and cut off my payments while they investigate my claim

[r00]

That probably means your former employer denied it.  >8|

Good luck with the interview!

[luna]

Thanks
it s because I quit a part time job because I had to do a 4 week full time practicum to finish the program I was doing. Apparently  they  would rather me keep working at the low paying part time job forever

How went the interview?


I think I'm finally getting used to going to bed at around 8-9pm. YAY! Granted I'm sure the bike ride to work helps with the tired aspect as well. And waking up pre ass crack of dawn.

A couple of coworkers has said I am looking thinner. (Or at lest asked if I was loosing weight.) I don't really see it, but I know my legs are in far better shape, and have less fat on them...

[luna]

They said I would hear back by Monday. Omg if I don't get it I will be so sad. No one has called back from all the applications I put in I broke down today and applied for a job I know i can get processing pet insurance claims even though it's only full time and way more driving than I want to do.

I was recently contacted via my old CIO at a previous employer about needing network engineers at the company he is CIO for now.  They do satellite imaging for Google and the U.S. government.  I turned it down because it needs Top Secret clearance and I don't feel like voluntarily handing our bullshit government a stack full of information on me, my past, and anything I have ever been associated with (including online).

(the reason this is on the WOOHOO thread is because at least it was a cool job opportunity.  8-p )

[Aaron]

That's both hella cool and creepy... What would you be looking at that needs Top Secret clearance? (Wait, will you have to kill me if you tell me?  *Gulp face*)


Work is going really well. I kinda want to go into work now... (I'm pretty sure hell has frozen over.) I've gotten used to going to bed early. And on my day off I wake up way before my alarm and panic a bit then remember day off and go right back to sleep. (I sleep in till 5:30am) I have a week's worth of Vacation time left I need to take I will more then likely just do one day off at a time for shows. I will need to clear it by my boss. Really I wouldn't mind them just paying me out for it...

The one day off a week thing is still shit. But I take a nap on the days I get off early. So I guess it balances out... But whatever.

Hung out with one of my fiends that lives up here. We went to a Turkish place. I haven't ever had Turkish food before. I had Lamb which I have had before but not cooked on a kebab. It was good food. My friend ordered a sample plate thing, and I tried some of the stuff on it. I also ordered a plate of Hummus. Which was amazing. It fucking shit on store bought tub Hummus. (Which saddened me cuz I liked it and thought it was good. But it's horrible in comparison.)

Also went to the Pet store that was close buy (the one that when I do buy my spider/snake (I want a snake now to) I will go there for it) They had a spider in a tank that wasn't labeled. It was big to like 5-6 inches. It bugged me that I didn't know what it was. Just googled my first thought of what it was was right. I'm the fucking man. (chaco golden knee you can google if you want. I think it's really cool. Kinda plan colored but pretty. No blues or anything, just golden strips at it's leg segments and strips running down some of the leg segments.) They also had some snakes to. One that was bigger, and pretty and some smaller snakes that had crazy cool colors. (those were way more money.)

And my knees don't hurt anymore. Or at lest as bad. like they are a bit sore. BUT after bitching about it on here. BAM they don't hurt much anymore. just sore after the ride which I expect so no big deal.

I get two days off two weeks in a row. WHICH IS GONA FUCKING RULE! my time off to see some shows (I took the day after off so I should stay up later and not die going into work early.) got approved.

And now that I have Sunday off to do stuff with my friend (he gets weekends off) I will do more stuff in general. Like trying new foods (I hate eating alone at places.) and he is willing to try new things to so it's all good.

[luna]

Woo I got a job!

[TPD]

yay! <#

[r00]

grats!!

[Aaron]

Congrats! when do you start? are you still going to be an animal nurse?

[luna]

First day is tomorrow I did a course to work at a human lab, mainly taking blood and doing ecgs but also I am certified to do specimen handling which is what this job is. Seriously all I have to do is receive and unpack/sort incoming samples at the main testing lab and it pays $20/hr! I wasn't a registered vet tech and it has become basically impossible to find work lately without my certification which I wasn't going to waste a ton of money doing just to get shitty pay and be treated like crap by various employers.

All in all, the new living arrangement is working out well.  Still getting used to having a roommate, but basically he has the upstairs and I have the downstairs, so we only really have to share a kitchen, and we both cook enough that we exchange bomb-ass food all the time so it works out pretty evenly.  Also, our girlfriends have become friends, which is a plus.

[Aaron]

That's sweet! Cooking together/sharing food is one thing I really miss about my old roommate. (he was a better cook but we would go halfs in on food and make some food.)


I have a show to go to tonight. Should be a great time. Tomorrow I go to the clinic. I have been reading yelp reviews, and unless I travel way north. Like and hour or two by bus I won't be able to go to a better rated clinic... Which is one of the good/bad things about Yelp. It's both awesome and shit all at once... (I use it a lot.)


One of my friends is moving here from Pendleton he will be couch crashing for a week or three here. I trust him. He is also enough of an asshole to tell roommate about why he is failing at life.  Like having his mom clean his toilet cuz it's so nasty... (I even took pics, just to show my coworkers so they don't think I'm insane...)

I got my bike tuned up and it's so smooth right now. Also got a new caliper on the front (the disk break) so it stops hella fast now. It's a fucking tank of a bike. If I replaced the front crank and both derailleurs it would be a pretty good bike. However I don't think its worth it...

Also while I'm making this even more tl;dr my hair is now so long I have to keep it in a ponytail. Only I don't pull it all the way through so it's a loop. Its hella long.
