Almost Done!

I have been house-sitting/Pet-sitting for my parents since last Thursday. In that time, Veeda (the lab) has thrown up twice and ran in front of a car barking. The Shih-Tzu's dew claw fell out due to being impacted so she was bathed and clipped (and i fully plan to give my mother a tongue lashing for this neglect), and she wakes me up at 6am every morning. The cat, Lonnie, has spent most of his time indoors where he sleeps all friggin day. At night he follows us around the block. Needless to say, i'm tired and ready to be done with this, Thursday cant come faster! The one really nice thing is that absence truley does make the heart grow fonder. Being at my parents house, away from John, I find myself thinking about him constantly, and wanting to be with him, and am grateful when i am.

I finally got a call from a recruiter saying they had an interested firm, and I will meet with the recruiter tomorrow. For some reason, my hope hasnt risen as this may just be a ruse from them. We'll see...

I have just finished a book called "Possible Side Effects" by Augusten Burrows, the writer of "Running with Scissors" and "Dry". I read at the gym on the elliptical machine when i go alone, and I can say for the first time, probably actually 3 times, laughed out loud while reading that book, and actually couldnt stop laughing at one point. A very funny, quick read, which i recommend.

I have finally gotten photo shop and am going to re-teach myself how to use it. I figure everyone and their mother in the creative industry uses it now, and i am far from experienced in it. So, tomorrow i'll buy Photoshop for Dummies, and re-learn the program. You know, people ask, why dont you get a part time job or what do you do all day? #1: Looking for a job has become my full time job. from 8am-9am I am checking my emails then take a gym break for 2 hours. Then its another hour of job searching, followed by an hour lunch. Then, until 5, I'm on the computer searching for work, or working on my resume, or doing some sort of networking. If I actually FOUND a part time job that paid more than my unemployment (which, thank you obama for the extra $25 a week), then I would apply for it. But as for now, this is a hard job because you are very emotionally invested. #2: knowing me, if i got a part time job, I'd say screw the job search, and settle for good enough. Ugh...
