You’re stuck in a niche (and you can’t get out of it)

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

(High-fives to anyone who gets the pop reference in my title.)
So in an effort to avoid having to move back into my parents’ house, I’ve started looking for random, everyday jobs because it’s looking like this science thing isn’t working out for me. I found some part-time teller positions open at SunTrust in downtown Atlanta. [...]

The job saga continues

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

So in an effort to avoid having to move back into my parents’ house (which I will be forced to do if I don’t have a job by the end of the month), I’ve started looking for random, everyday jobs because it’s looking like this science thing isn’t working out for me. I found some [...]

Coming out of the girly closet

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

So it’s official. I am getting married on October 14 at my parents’ church in Lawrenceville. After 3 years of people asking, “When are you getting married?” and me saying, “Oh, um…sometime in the future,” I can finally give people and actual, finite day and they will stop looking at me like there is something [...]

Peeking out of the shoebox

Friday, May 19th, 2006

I am going stir crazy. I need to get out of my house. Knitting isn’t working anymore. I’ve cleaned the house thoroughly twice in the past month (I clean when I’m stressed–the cleaner the house is, the more stressed I am). I need a new hobby. Or better yet, I need a freaking job.
In case [...]

October is the new August

Monday, May 15th, 2006

So after hashing things out with Josh and my parents, we’ve decided there’s no way we could do the wedding in August and have everything like we (okay, me, really) want. Since Josh’s schedule is filled with school, our options are super limited: other than August, we could get married in October (during Fall Break), [...]

Still looking…

Thursday, May 11th, 2006

Ok here’s a long entry since I haven’t updated in awhile.
First, my addiction to knitting. I have, in recent months, become addicted to knitting. I made a sweater (think I posted a picture a while back) while I was on my trip. I recently finished an afghan for Josh, modeled here by [...]

Picture and a story III: Fun with marsupials

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

So for the third time in two months, I’ve forgotten to pay an important bill. The first time it was my car insurance, which I forgot about so long it eventually expired. This resulted in a strongly-worded letter from the State of Georgia threatening to suspend my registration unless I go to the tag office [...]

More thoughts on knitting

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

I finally finished the afghan I’ve been working on for 6+ months! Here it is, modeled by my cat Gaby:

I also finished the first square of what will eventually be a throw blanket for my friends who got married in October:
I won’t elaborate on my plans for this blanket in case my friends are [...]

Mmm…brains.

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006

So today I had a job interview down at GSU. It went well, but I’m vastly overqualified for it and it pays peanuts. The people were nice and the research was interesting, though. But guess what I would be doing if I got the job? Cracking open hamsters’ skulls and plucking out their brains. “Igor! [...]
