I own two copies of Gross Pointe Blank, however I had never watched the movie before last night at Emily’s house. She took me in so I wouldn’t be sitting at home being pouty about the whole job thing, and the movie was a perfect fit. I even got a new line out of it!
“Are you okay?”
“No, I’m not okay. I’m hurt, I’m pissed, and I gotta find a new job.”
That about sums things up. I go between a-ok happy and gleeful to mad and pouting. So for now, I’m just sticking with that line.
If you’re one of the many, many people that asked for access on my restricted access posts, I am not ignoring you. I have a ton of e-mails to go through, and I am getting through them as fast as I can. You’ll get a note back when it’s set up, or an e-mail back asking for more details on who you are so I can grant access. For now, I have an interview at 10:00 am 11:00 am (she just called to move it) to finish getting ready for!
I’m sitting at Kaveh Kane’s waiting for the rush hour traffic to die down. I have my laptop here (free WiFi!), but there are public computers on the counter for anyone to use. (I’m telling you, this place rocks!)
A customer, probably in his 20s or 30s, just asked the guy behind the counter, “How do I get to Yahoo?”
I froze. I mean, seriously? He doesn’t know how to get to Yahoo? Really? Am I just being crazy thinking that anyone should be able to get there?
Then he asked if he had to go through AOL. That might explain something.
Then he asked how to do an underscore. Ok, if you know what the underline-thingie is called, shouldn’t you know how to do it?
Wow. I … I don’t know. I’m just speechless. He had to be shown how to get to Yahoo. Wow. I wonder if he knows how to Google? Probably not. Just amazing…
Do you realize how wonderful it is to be able to take a shower at 10:00 am and then wrap up in a warm towel, fresh from the dryer? Damn, that is a nice feeling.
I’ve called the temp agencies already and have an appointment set up for tomorrow with one close to home. Meanwhile, I’m plotting all the things I want to do in the next few days:
– Tons of updates to Blogomania
– Finally getting a chance to sit and write about all the things I haven’t had time to write about in the past few months.
– Setting up a wedding website with details, photos, etc.
– Registering for wedding gifts.
– Packing – if the last of the house negotiations go through, we have a closing date set for March 15th.
And the one I’m really looking forward to:
– Setting everything up for my “naughty bits” soap company, which will specialize in great things like “Itty Bitty Teenie Weenie Penii Soaps” and the “Tiny Tim Penis Soaps” and other goodies, perfect for things like bachelorette parties and gag gifts! (Anyone interested in sculpting them out of Fimo clay for me so I can make soap molds?)
Matter of fact, I will soon be doing a study of responses to company name suggestions – if you are interested in giving feedback, let me know!
Ahhhh, the joys of being unemployed…
