***Another edit***
Yes. I'm too lazy to type a whole new entry.But now I'm just so beyond irritated it isn't even funny.
I got the mail.
And, as expected, there was the news about the forensics position
(which I didn't get, though that is secondary to my irritation).Not only could the HR lady have told me that when I emailed her two
days ago, she put the whole thing in the wrong name. My maiden name.
And why, does this irritate me?Perhaps because I have already corrected her about this problem at least once, if not more.
Is it so hard to get my name correct?
Grrrrr.I should know better by now than to look at homeless puppies and kitties.
But I do it anyway.
And I'm in love with this one.
Awaiting the mail - the real mail that is - to let me know if I got the forensics job or not.
Upon emailing the HR lady, I was informed that the letters were mailed
and should arrive sometime Friday. Not much of an answer, at least not
in my book.Weekend plans?
Climb on Saturday. A bike ride on Sunday - this one to see outdoor art
displays in a part of the city a bit north of us. And also, going out
with my relatives that live here. I hate to base all events and
interactions around food, but I don't really know what else to base
them around. Dunno - perhaps they hike or bike. I can't really see
either one of them wall-climbing. I know they bowl - but I don't
do so well with bowling.***Edit***

Well, I've seen 24, but still feel like I'm uncultured.
I do, however, have two on this list ("The General" and "Gone With the Wind") sitting at home, waiting to be watched, so that'll put me up to 26.
I've seen 65, but I'm a movie (cashew-almond-filbert)--you get the picture. I've seen parts of almost all the rest, but haven't sat down and watched them. Now, because I'm OCD about things like this, I'll have to see the rest, even though I'm not in total agreement with Ebert.
I'm sorry about your disappointment....Keep your head up, I'm sure something will turn up that will be in your field. I'll try and call you later this weekend. Oh yeah, and I approached the subject that I was venting to you about and I think we have worked out a compromise....Talk to you soon.
My first boyfriend in college, a cinema buff, always maligned me for having seen so few "good" movies. I suspect a list like this would only provide confirmation...
Your weekend plans shame me! I have been in ass-on-the-couch mode too long.
