Yeah.. at most I''d likely get 2,000/yr more. I dont know if thats enough to switch. Who knows.

Whats up with everyone else?? Hello out there?

MK? Miscka? Bia? Princesss? LP? Squirrly? BigT? Anyone????

nothing. still applying for jobs. not a single phone call

I think I''ve applied for 15 jobs now. All custom resumes/cover letters and not ONE PHONE CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

eta: and frankly, it''s starting to piss me off!

*hugs*

Im right there with ya. OK.. ok... I got ONE phone call, but that''s because I was terribly over qualified for the position.

It can only get better from here though.. since the economy is theoretically looking up... right?

That was my pathetic attempt at a positive attitude.

Ah yes. Another excellent point.

 

[Miscka]

oh. my. god.

I just did the 30 day shred level 2. I slacked (notice a pattern?

) for awhile, did level 1 a few times and then decided to up the ante.

I need to find my inhaler before I attempt that again. How lame am I??? I used to run and swim ALL the time. Ugh.

Other than that, not much else going on around here. Flipping my sh!t over how soon the re-wedding is, and planning our teeny mini-moon for that night.

Off to eat the lunch of champions...morning star farms veggie chicken patty and a pack of cheese crackers. Woot.

Level TWO?! You are a brave soul!

I think your re-wedding is on my move date. I''ll think about ya while I''m hauling a mattress up the stairs and you''re looking gorgeous and having the time of your life.

Im starving. My interview took my lunch hour so now I''m stuck here with no food!

I can has veggie chicken patty?

 

[Miscka]

Oh! elle!! I have been meaning to tell you that I am a total green tea convert thanks to you! DH loves it (which I did not know) and made it for awhile for us but it was

so now I am obsessed with the Arizona brand diet version. Do you make yours? We bought the jug and also the powder version, I like both. It''s so nice, since I really never drink anything but water. I never liked sodas at all, and juice is so caloric, so I am really digging it!

Awesome! It tastes great and really helped my skin!

I drink Bigelow green tea, and I drink it hot. Usually 2-3 cups a day, since they supply the tea bags at work. No sweetener or anything, so totally calorie free!

I do <3 soda... and thats why I switched to green tea. AND.. someone at work brought me GREEN TEA SODA the other day!

It was awesome!

So, the good news is that I got a call from the NPO. The bad news is that I am still jumping through hoops to get this job! Phone screen + 2 interviews + now I have to take a personality assessment + after that, I have to go in and chat with HR and THEN if all goes well there might be an offer. What happened to 1-2 interviews and then knowing if you have the job or not?

 

[Miscka]

ah, I forgot you said you drank yours hot. I can''t do hot anything right now, I even put my homemade Americanos in the freezer in the AM for a bit before I drink them.

Yuck! That is a lot of hoopage to get through!

I''d be so nervous! UGH!

I hope it works out for ya, MK!

 

[sunnyd]

Hiya folks.

Elle, I say do it for the potential growth. But you''d have to know if you''re gonna stay there awhile.

So I think we''re gonna move the weekend before the wedding. Ha! Should make for an exciting few weeks I think. Bonus is that rent has dropped in our area quite significantly so we''ll save more.

I''ve only done level 1 sporadically when it''s on onDemand. How bad is 2?

I need to start ramping up the workouts after my month off...crap.

 

[misskitty]

Thanks, y''all!

Also, re: Shred level 2 -- I did it twice, and my shoulders hated me so much that I switched back to level 1.

I have a feeling tomorrow I will not be able to reach for anything. Eeeee.

 

[ckrickett]

groan...

it''s late I have a killer migraine and a toothache and I thought I had the day off tomorrow but that was thwarted!

/gripegripegripe

 

[Squirrly]

i love visible internet. so much more useful than the invisible kind. (am now the proud owner of the cheapest replacement monitor i could find: 18.5" LCD from dell. my internet is wider than it used to be. it still fits on my desk so it can''t be morbidly obese yet

)

sorry about your headache CK, i''ll prolly be having one of those in the near future. currently i have insomnia caused by the need for catching up with my web comics. tomorrow it''ll be due to trying to catch up with fml and failblog.

Blah. i should be more excited about visiting M a week from today than i am which is making me not so happy with myself and in turn even less excited. i suppose it doesn''t particularly help that i know he has no plans but to relax that weekend. good for me but not my inflamed LIWitis

i must attempt a two hour doze so good morning all (albiet an excessively early morning atm)

 

[ckrickett]

I catch up on failblog on a weekly basis, usually around the time the failboat comes into port.

headache is gone but the toothache is going strong

 

[Miscka]

I will gripegripegripe with you too, Ckrickett. Bleah, crappy day.

Anyone else watch Weeds?

Ckrickett, I am alllllmost done with Season 1 of LOST and every. single. episode blows my mind!!!

 

[Squirrly]

it''s generally more amusing to catch up with the fails once a week. two a day doesn''t really satisfy my need for amusement.
so the ache is migratory?

 

[misskitty]

Morning, ladies!

 

[Squirrly]

mornin!

 

[Lauren8211]

Morning Small Talkers!

 

[sunnyd]

FI''s gracious sister and BIL loaned us a puter last night. Because OMG theinviteshavetogooutnextweek!!!!!

It''s gettin close, Sunny!!!

Mine were supposed to go out last week. Oops.

 

[sunnyd]

Oops. LOL, your wedding is small though, they won't mind. At our best man's wedding 2 months ago, they sent the invites out 3 weeks before? I think? They were trying to weed out people. Hahaha! Wedding was really informal though.

72 days left!

 

[Miscka]

If I had to do this all over again, I would elope. Wait, I did. WTH am I doing all this for? I was seriously in tear last night over how RUDE people are being right now. Ughhhhhhhh.

On the plus side, we got a REALLY nice room booked for our mini-moon, and we are eating here that night, I cannot wait!!

Sunny have you posted your invites? Have you, Elle? I have a terrible memory. Wait. I remember yours, E. I love them! The tree theme, right?

 

[Lauren8211]

yeah, our wedding is small, everyone knows if they''re invited already. im not too worried about it

yes, miscka, my invitations were the tree ones! I''m sorry your re-wedding is causing stress!! That''s not supposed to happen! Who is being rude to you??

Your mini-moon dinner looks AWESOME!!!

 

[Miscka]

Just a random assortment of things/people. For example: babies. I do not want them there. Who brings a 3 week old baby to such a thing??? Maybe I am just a B**** but still. Was your babies name on the invite? Did you ask me if you could bring it? No, you told me. Bleah.

Yeah, I don''t like that people assume that. I understand a nursing mother has needs, and so does a baby, but if you don''t want them there... well.. they either need to find other accomodations or not come.
