so i have a new computer desk
and i have no way to make my internet work
because it SUCKS at home
argh
Month: July 2002
-
Target finally called me back
so I am indeed employ-ed
It only took a full month to get so
Job market blows
I have a B.S. in biology – and I’m working at Target
<sigh> such ignominy
ah well
It pays
I need money
*shrug*
I also saw my professor today, Dr. Gibbs…
in a bizarre old man Canadian way he’s adorable
and with a very funny accent (makes me miss my Megan!)
dr. gibbs (first name Lisle) also gave me reading materials, which, for those of you unfamiliar with biology papers…well, let’s just say they’re slow going…but I shall learn! Swamp sparrow DNA here I come!
(I also can lab visit before classes start, and perhaps start that work…sooner begun is sooner done!)
in other features of my current life, my cats are growing and becoming, if anything, more demanding (so I bought them canned cat food) and I personally fear they are approaching kitty puberty. UGH! Cats in heat are so NOT fun…and I can’t as yet afford to get the little buggers fixed. Thank god there are no males around currently! (Joy of joys though, when they’re spayed, they’re getting declawed too and I can stop looking like a victim of brambles)
my apartment is still lovely and decorated.
I left my car window open for three days and it got poured in (first rain in weeks and we got two+ inches) and I have to leave my window open just for it
I found a Meijer near enough to shop at, in the same area as another Kroger, a Big Bear, a Big Lots and a hundred other stores that I’ve never heard of
-
and so one job I don’t think I have anymore.
and I’m waiting on a drug test for the other one.
in good news though, my fellowship stipend might be starting a bit earlier than expected – by say, a month. Which makes my life sizeably easier…it doesn’t do much for credit card debt, but I can buy groceries and pay rent then…
oh, and my cats, while I was visting Eric yesterday did a very bad thing and a very good thing
first, they broke my glass from prom way way back four years ago…bastards…that’s one of my few remaining memories of the ex-boyfriend (the first one ever actually)
secondly, very happily this one is, I found the dead mouse in the middle of my kitchen this morning. Possum is wounded, so I’m assuming that was the mouse (or the dopey cat decided to fight with the broken glass). And while dead mice are gross…at least the bastid isn’t eating my food or pooing in my pans!
-
This is Possum (*for reasons that are no longer clear, but can be explained at individual requests). She is also known as the pretty one, the stupid one and DUMBASS!!!
She is unfortunately overly fond of water and keeps trying to take showers with me as well as play in the toilet water (today she fell in and got an impromptu bath).
