Job searching

Mmm…Monday

Monday, April 16th, 2007

I kind of gave up on this “40 days of posting” thing because I don’t have much to say that’s worth writing a post and wasting your time. That, and I’ve been pretty much comatose all weekend and didn’t feel like posting. Stupid meds. They’ve really messed me up this time around: [...]

Job search: part deux

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

At work, I have been doing a lot of HPLC lately. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (in case you care) is basically a pump attached to a fat steel tube (the column), and the column contains silica particles with various things attached to the particles. The particles separate out chemical compounds from one another, and the [...]

Further analysis of the job woes

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

My last post sounded totally whiny and lame. Sorry about that. I blame the fact that I was sick all day yesterday and the day before (thanks a lot, Josh). Being sick makes me a whiny biatch.
But to further scrutinize the issue, Josh and I had a long talk last night when [...]

Today’s events

Monday, August 7th, 2006

Several exciting things happened today. Here they are, in no particular order:
(1) I discovered Lite Cool-Whip tastes just as good as the regular stuff.
(2) I pulled off an sizeable healthy meal for myself and my parents.
(3) I got a job.
The meal consisted of lemon-rosemary tilapia (a recipe I concocted myself) baked in a little foil [...]

It’s about time

Monday, June 26th, 2006

Finally–I have landed job interview #3, after almost two months of nothing. Interview is Wednesday with the GA Dept of Natural Resources in the watershed protection division. Wish me luck.

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 [...]

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! [...]

Job searching

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

So the job search hasn’t been going well. There are very few jobs that I’m qualified for or that I would enjoy in Atlanta. I am therefore having a hard time motivating myself to look for jobs or to apply for them. I had one interview at Emory and thought I had a decent shot [...]
