geekchickToday is Setting Orange, day 53 in the season of The Aftermath, 3167.
Job stuff, woo. I got email yesterday from washingtonjobs.com, from a company that is interested in scheduling an interview this week for a full-time position. Having looked at the web site, I've decided I probably would like their corporate culture, only catch so far being that they weren't clear about what exactly they were hiring for. Oh well, sent back an email asking about that and probably should call later this afternoon in case the recruiter is one of those folks who doesn't check email all the time. Second out-of-the-blue contact about potential jobs in a week, which is more than I've had in the last six months, so maybe things are starting to look up here.
The bad thing is that since I got promising signs from that other job I've interviewed for, I've been slacking off on actively looking for anything else. ("YAY!" "No, GIR, that's *bad*.") I check my monster agents every day, but the one that gets the most hits is so broad that most of what turns up I'm not really qualified for. I have to get back in the habit of applying for at least one job a day, every day, until someone makes me an offer. Gotta stop slacking, I can't afford it anymore.
Speaking of slacking, I was a big ol' geek and bought tickets for the noon showing on the 19th of LotR. I think I can avoid the "drooling fanboy" label by virtue of the fact that I've never been able to make myself finish even the first book. I figured I could spend three hours of my life staring at a computer screen, or at Liv Tyler. Guess which one wins?

Date: 2001-12-11 10:39 am (UTC)for signal before Dec ends.
We're planning on the wednesday evening
dinner and movie thing at the Upton.
Where are your tickets for?
Re: Things
Date: 2001-12-11 10:42 am (UTC)Tickets are for noon for the Fairfax Town Center (over by Tower). No way was I going to go in the evening of the opening day. Did you get tickets for the Uptown yet? I think it's a safe bet that it's going to be sold out.
Wager
I'll take that bet, at whatever stakes you
want to wager. *evil grin*
