Extended White Chocolate Experience

The title to this post is something that Matthew Long used in casual conversation today. I thought it was amazing.

JOB UPDATE:

Did I tell you I applied at Ace Hardware and Bargain Hound? Cause I did, about a week ago. They aren't going to hire me.
Today I applied at Sears Grande and The Victorian Inn. I don't think Sears is going to hire me, but the Victorian Inn might, they had the least specific application I have ever seen. Sears had one of those horrendous personality tests that I keep failing. I don't think I come across well when reduced to a multiple choice personality test. Oh.... but seriously. I need a job. If I don't hear back from anyone in a week, I will officially be desperate for employment, at which point, I'll start applying to *shudder* restaurants.

Speaking of restaurants, one of the people in my Creative Writing Group, wrote an excellent essay about tipping and how it's bullshit, which it is. We were discussing the essay in class and a couple of people were really interested in it because they disagreed with him. They thought tipping is not bullshit. Ironically these people worked in the food service industries and were both frequent recipients of tips (presumably). Anyway, I found myself really itching to debate these people, but unfortunately debate did not happen. I was sad.

Good news everyone, the G string on my guitar just broke! The same thing happened around this time last year. I remember, because it happened on superbowl sunday, which is this coming Sunday if I'm not mistaken. Last time it took me a month to replace it. That's kind of weird though. Anyway... I'm kind of hungry so I'm going to do something about that.

Gloating

Here's a bit of trivia for you. Almost every time I try to come up with title for a blogpost, e-mail or journal entry the first title I come up with is "Da Business". It's almost never relevant to what I'm writing about at that particular moment, and when it is, I usually don't think of it first, but it is a phrase I really enjoy.

Here's another bit of trivia for you. My trivia night team kicks ass. We got second at the St. Joseph Trivia night in Scott city, which isn't bad if I do say so myself. The other team beat us by like 10 points. They knew the answers to questions like; "What state does Hunter McMuffin represent?" (fake question) and "On the television show Reba, what is Reba's ex-husband's job?"(real question) If the choice is between getting second place and watching Reba enough to know her ex-husband is a dentist, I'll stick with second place.

Oh speaking of bragging...this:That's right ladies, by getting three A's and a B last semester, I was put on the Dean's Honor List. I've always been on the Dean's List of People that Can and Probably Will EFF You Up, but this is the first time I've been on the Honor List... so gloat on you, the internet.

His cane makes me melt.

I love the show House. You probably didn't know that about me. I haven't talked about it much, especially since I haven't blogged much since I've started watching it. I describe it as a smarter CSI, which isn't really accurate. What would be more accurate is that it's a CSI for people smarter than the people that like CSI. I think CSI is kind of dumb. You probably did know that though.

Job update: I've applied for 2 different Pharmacy Technician jobs at St. Francis, and a job at Hollywood Video. I don't think I'll get any of those jobs, because I can't get jobs like those for some reason. By "jobs like those" I mean jobs that pay well or jobs I'd like to have. I am supposed to do inventory at Steve and Barry's on Sunday. It's not a permanent position, but it could lead to one once they start hiring again.

Heath Ledger died. That made me sad. I really like "A Knights Tale".

The Stakes are Raised

The title of this post means nothing.


School started yesterday. Hurrah!

I don't know how I'm going to feel about MC 301, but intermediate film production and film history are going to be fun. We watched City Lights in film history last night. It was pretty good for an old movie. A little long, but pretty good. Tonight I have creative writing. I'm pretty excited about that class.

Job update:
Still unemployed, I've applied at 2 more places, Hastings and Target. That brings the total applications up to 5.

Not my first post about Euchre

I went to a Euchre tournament tonight in New Hamburg. I did not do well. Neither did Dustin. Jody, on the other hand, cleaned up. I've been to three non-Dustin Glastetter initiated Euchre tournaments. One at Scott City, one at St. Augustine and this one. At all three of these tournaments I've felt very much like I didn't belong there, not just because I'm not from the places the tournaments are held, but like a greater sense of outsiderness. I feel like a tourist or something. It's not necessarily a bad feeling but it is kind of strange.

School starts tomorrow. I don't even know what to think about that. I'm excited. I guess that's what I think about school starting tomorrow. I think excited. I'm really looking forward to making more films and seeing some of my friends from last semester.

I've been unemployed for 2 days now. I don't like it much. Last time I was unemployed it was about a month till I got a job, although I don't remember looking too hard that time. We'll see how well I do this time. So just to keep you updated on my progress:

1. Staples: nothing
2. Hospital: nothing
3. Steve and Barry's: nothing

Awesome.

Almost Unemployed

Hello My Blog.
The reason I've decided to start blogging again is to chronicle my job search. I'm looking for a job because as the title suggests, I am almost unemployed. In about 10 hours I will have concluded my term of employment with Commercial Mail Services and will therefore be in need of a new job. Why, you ask, am I ending my nearly three years service at CMS? Well that is a long and painful story... just kidding. I have a couple of night classes this semester so I would only be able to work at CMS 3 days a week and one of those three days I wouldn't be able to come in till 5ish so I wouldn't be able to get enough hours. On a personal note, I'm decidedly not too sad about my eminent departure. I was sad when I quit John's, somewhat less sad when I quit N'Orleans, but I'm not really sad at all about quitting CMS. It's probably because unlike those other places I'll still be connected to my friends that work there through Jimmy.

So far I have applied three places for jobs:
1. Staples
2. Southeast Hospital
3. Steve and Berry's

None of them have contacted me yet, but I just applied for the last 2 yesterday. They are probably still marveling at gift they have been given, the gift of me offering to work for them. Truly a great prize to be sure.

Ok well I need to take a shower cause I'm all sick and gross. Anyway, I'll keep you posted!
