You know how sometimes people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you *should* already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

| Jim Henson RIP May 16th 1990 |

Jim Henson died May 16th 1990. I was nine years old. He WAS Sesame Street for my preschool years. Dark Crystal and Labyrinth are still some of the best made movies of all time. He was a visionary and still the standard to which other children's programming and movie makers try to live up to today.
On this sad day I thought I would send you all a well done tribute video to a song that has touched many fans deeply. Its even made all the way to the Jim Henson studios. The artist who wrote the song is Tom Smith. I actually met him once and I saw this song performed live.
I hope you enjoy it and take a moment to remember a man who helped shape the childhood of so many.

My shoulder hurts....Stupid painting.
Tuesday is my birthday.
These are my plans thus far. Tonight, sleeping like the dead. Michael and I are working on the house and the move, then going out for our "Valenbirthdaverity" on Saturday. On Sunday, sleeping in damnit, and again working on the house and the move, then having dinner with my mom and stepdad. Monday, working on the house and the move together. Tuesday (27th birthday) sleeping like the dead, vote, then working on the house a bit, maybe go out with dad and step bitch for dinner. Wed-Fri, might get to take the rest of the week off, Will have to call in to RMT (the people who handle time off) Saturday afternoon to make sure that the time off request goes through. If so, I wont be able to take anytime off until the end of March for Aggiecon but I will have 3 more full days to work on the house. I will continue working on the house and the move for the rest of the week (whether I'm home all day for the rest of the week or not). Saturday, sleeping like the dead, working on the house. Thanks to E I will also be going to go see jonathan coulton at the cactus cafe Saturday night.
That what I got so far. I dont really want to have anything big for my birthday but if anyone has any free time during anytime that just scheduled for house work, that they might be willing to spend keeping me sane and company, I would really like that. |

So Micheal been doing much better since he just gave up and accepted that he needed help both mentally and chemically, He's of course not happy but at least he's not threatening to kill himself either so I'll take the unhappy. But I am glad that my best friend (next to Jen ^_^) came back to me.
I got called into my manager's office last week because someone had told her that I was talking to other supervisors about Michael's "issues". No, I was talking to MY BOYFRIEND'S FRIENDS who just so happen to be other supervisors. So I was basically told that I shouldn't talk about personal issues at work. I'm a little pissed off because my manger was told this and not my supervisor. So person who told my manager went over my direct supervisor's head.
Apparently what happened is that a couple of Michael's friends (ie supervisors) went to plead his case to another manager (not the one he's having troubles with). She must have gotten the wrong idea about what I was doing and complained to my manager. Anyways, it doesn't matter. I'll talk to whoever I want too.
Michael and I are planning a Birthdavalenversity. Valentine's day is 2 weeks before my birthday, which is a week before our anniversary. So instead of 3 different "events" we're going to pool our money and do 1 big thing. I want to go to Melting Pot dammnit! So on the "real" days we're going small things. Tonight is a lasagna dinner that I made and cuddling on the couch. Not sure what small thing we'll do for my birthday and our anniversary yet. I just think its sweet and saves money (at least thats what I told him)
Michael's slowly moving in. I dont know who's having the harder time getting it done. He'd be moved in by now If I would just clean the back room and begin to paint it. I could just say I'm lazy but I not sure its just that.
Still, I love that insane man. |

I got my first obscene phone call at my new job yesterday. Now I feel like a real member of the group and it was only my 2nd call of the day. Joy.
What kind of person calls into the American Cancer Society to talk nasty to someone? I have an image of an old creepy guy in a phone booth only wearing a dirty trench coat. Maybe I've seen too many movies. At first I couldn't tell what they were saying. They were wispering and I get alot of elderly people who call so I was honestly trying to help him. Then he started to speak up.
Yuck. I was creeped out for the rest of the day.
Also there are 6 McDonalds that I past between my house and work.
What the hell is up with that? |

I went to the interview, 5 mins early, looking the most professional I have ever looked. Micheal bought me my first ever black suit jacket. I ended up not having the time to get my hair done so I just slicked it back into a low ponytail and wear dangle pearl-like earrings. I had put a lot of thought into what I wore, I guess just not enough on what I would say *sigh*
( Read more )
I just really wanted this job. It pays well and is doing good work for the world. I wont know until the end of next week if I got the job but I doubt it. Michael seems to think I will though. I hope he's right, so later I'll have to eat my words *sigh* |

The phone interview went well. I get to go in and actually interview for the ACS position on Monday at 2pm.
Go Me. ^_^
I really want this job. Is it ok to wear a black polo shirt to a job interview? I have the cutest outfit thats a black polo style shirt with gray slacks and black pumps. I think I look pretty damn good in it and I think that it will help me be more confident. I just dont know if its ok and I certainly dont what to hurt my chances of getting a great job. |

I have a phone interview tomorrow at 12pm with American Cancer Society, which is the job I REALLY REALLY want. I never got a call back from RRISD but I didn't really want that job anyways so I'm ok with it.
I've only ever had a phone interview once and that didn't go well but I didn't know that it was like a REAL interview. I now know better and I think tomorrow will go great but it would be nice to know that there is support out there for me.
So anyways, please everyone wish me success again.

I have my first interview since being get go coming up tomorrow at 2:30pm. Its for at position back with RRISD which is good. They call at 5pm this afternoon so it is a little short notice. I know that at least they wont treat me the way Sunrise did. It's for the same amount of money I was making when I left. It isn't quite enough but I'll manage with it.
Its for an educational assistant position with one of the high schools. I've mostly only worked with prek aged kids but I do have a little experience working with kids up to age 14. Not sure I'm really qualified for the position but I'll try anyways.
If I dont get it then at least I'll know that people are actually looking at my applications at RRISD and I can chalk it up as practice.
So anyways wish me success. |

Is anyone on my friends list interested in going to TRF the weekend of Nov.17th and Nov. 18th?
Micheal and I had planned the trip before I lost my job and I still really want to go. We missed it last year.
We already have the Best western in navasota booked for Friday and Saturday night and it would be really helpful if we had another couple of people to split the cost. As it is the hotel is $86 dollars. And if you got the tickets at a HEB they're $18 a day.
Pleas let me know if anyone at all is interested or else my sweetie would end up paying for it and i cant do that to him again after Fencon so I'd just cancel. |

Ok, as an attempt to put some perspective to my life and what I want to do with it, I decided to make a list of things I love to do or be a part of.
(Of course I love my family and friends but other than can kind of thing)

That's all I can that I can think of right now. I'm just looking for some kind of direction. I feel like such a failure to not know where I'm going at 26 years old. I know that other people were still figuring out older than I but I FEEL the way I feel.
Anyways, I got alot to think about and thats a start I guess. |

| Infant/Toddler |
[Oct. 5th, 2007|09:56 am] |
I have a lot of experience with pre-k and a little with young school aged. What I need is infant and toddler experience because the pre-k jobs aren't looking so good and I'm getting a little desperate. A lot of people are looking for infant teachers or nannies. Does anyone have an idea as to where I should look to get some infant/toddler experience around town? Does anyone know someone looking for a babysitter for a couple of hours a week. ANYTHING!!!
