Jun. 27th, 2002 02:25 amToday's accomplishments: Did laundry. Fixed resume. Gardened with grandfather. Filled up my mom's car with gas.
Today's near-accomplishments: Almost found appropriate cleaner stuff for our siding. Was at Wal Mart for like forty minutes going from salesperson to salesperson, all "So, I'm looking for some stuff to get rid of some stuff that's growing on our siding? Of our house? I don't know what it looks like or how much of it there is, but I'm pretty sure the cleaner's supposed to attach to our hose or something. Can you help?" Was cruelly denied at every turn.
Tomorrow I'm going back to my college to make use of the career center and hopefully get some tips on finding gainful employment. Which is good, because I am feeling Oh So Loserish as of late. Tomorrow night I'm going over to my cousin Meg's for dinner, which will be fun, but arranging plans tonight made me feel somewhat Costanza-esque:
Me: So, how are things with you?
Meg: Kind of overwhelming! It's great living in my new apartment with Paul. It's just nice to go off and be on my own, you know? Get out of the house. And with the wedding coming up and this great teaching job that just fell into place for the fall, things are really exciting. How about you? Anything new?
Me: Well, let's see...I'm unemployed, single, and living at home with my parents with no job prospects, unable to even get my temp agency to give me any placement better than long-term phone sales for crap money, so things are pretty low-key for me as of late.
But really, I'm excited for Meg. All this stuff is coming together for her and she so deserves it. I'm not *that* bitterly envious that she's got her own cool apartment and a fabulous fiancee and her dream job lined up for the fall.
Really, I'm not. I'm not! Really!
Must dash. Will post again after the career-related epiphany I'm expecting to have tomorrow afternoon. What will I be when I grow up? I'm open to suggestions.
