wish me luck too, in the job finding department. it seems i failed to accurately assess the degree of crackpot insanity running rampant among the higher ranks of our administration. last week my coworker nyky was fired for not making our executive director coffee. literally. there was a memo that circulated soon after about how our executive director should be treated as a VIP and dignitary, and that all employees are now required to know how to work the coffee machine. and then yesterday, my coworker and closest friend up here, cullen, was fired with no reason given whatsoever. the e.d. simply said she had to let cullen go, and then explained the benefits package. of course, the rest of us know she fired cullen and nyky because they were vocal critics of her policies. and those of us left know that pretty soon we too are going to be called in "for a meeting". so naturally, i've been checking craigslist obsessively, and i gotta tell you folks, this recession is doing nothing for me. i mean, maybe if it cleaned up a little, put on a nice suit, gained a sense of humor...i dunno. then it might work for me. but at this point, recession, i'm out of your league.
it has gotten me to think about returning to school, which is a thought that, even as i type, makes me sick to my stomach. i mean, shouldn't four years of mind-numbing college courses on the american justice system count for something? i am kicking myself for not sticking on the nursing degree path. i coulda been rich by now, relatively speaking. i mean, i could have actually afforded top ramen and not the grocery outlet knock-off. you know it's bad when you're paying for groceries IN CHANGE AT GROCERY OUTLET!!! but enough self-pity. i'm going to stay positive and research all my options. and i'll do my best to keep you lone devoted reader posted.
until then, i remain, selena in seattle. here's your found item of the day:
this has inspired me to take glamour shots with my hamster.
