#4892 – work work work

This was posted over 18 years ago; my opinions, thoughts, attitude, and writing style may have evolved since then, and this post might have been different if it were to be posted today.

so i’ve been busy lately. super busy. i played hooky from my statistics class so i could get some stuff done at the apartment (things like overdue laundry, yay non-stinky clothes) that i wouldn’t be able to get done until this weekend otherwise. also so i could go to bed early — if i went to class, i’d be getting back about 10 pm, and then i’d still have to have dinner and start the laundry and stuff like that. i’m going to go to bed in a few minutes since i just heard the dryer finish its job.

i got leopard the other day, it’s pretty neat. i’ve been playing around with it a lot, but it sucks that there’s no livejournal client for mac os 10.5 yet (xjournal doesn’t work in it yet, and though i heard ijournal works it looks too ugly… nevermind that i used to use ijournal back in the day!). i made a webclipping of the lj posting form from the livejournal webpage for dashboard, so at least i can use this in the meantime. works pretty well too! i just can’t exit out of the dashboard or else i think i’ll lose my entry, at least the part that wasn’t autosaved. (nevermind, it won’t let me post from the webclipping. phooey!)

i applied for a position with the IT department at work as a “member of technical staff” today, we’ll have to see how that goes. i hope i get the job, i want something new to do and this having to answer the phones when i’m on the internet response team is getting to be real annoying for me since i hate talking on the phone — i’m a much more visual person, so it’s a lot easier for me to explain to people about their issue when i can draw diagrams and such. i’m still keeping an eye out for other positions elsewhere just in case i don’t get it. i found this funny job description on the usajobs.gov site:

no limits! no bounds! (except being able to type 40 wpm!)

cynicalscribe and i went to a halloween party that some of my old coworkers were hosting and partying it up at… we went as boris and natasha from “rocky and bullwinkle”. at least when we do get a break from work we get to go out and have fun together. 🙂
