Really graduated now

In Work on 17 June 2003

I attended commencement at Drexel this past weekend. I picked up my diploma. I am now really and truly officially graduated and finished with Drexel now. Patti LaBelle was given an honorary Ph.D., which I wasn’t too interested in when I read about it, but she gave a sweet speech. I was particularly amused by […]

Direct Wha?

In Work on 2 June 2003

I’ve about had it with my temporary employment agency. I just got the hard copy of my pay stub today, which was direct deposited last Friday. In the envelope was a notification that they will be discontinuing direct deposit after the next pay date.

Um, excuse me? Bah!

Update: Well, the good news is I called the […]

I didn’t get the job

In Work on 22 April 2003

I got the response today. It ends the waiting, but it wasn’t the answer I was hoping for. Apparently, they wanted someone who “more closely meets [their] business needs,” whatever that means. They seemed to like me, too. Maybe it means I’m overqualified, but that doesn’t help much. The only thing I do feel qualified […]

Interview!

In Work on 17 April 2003

I had a job interview yesterday! It was at a nifty little web hosting company in Burlington, MA. I think it went pretty well, overall. I felt pretty comfortable talking with them and was able to answer most of the questions pretty easily. I was interviewed by four people, including the manager, and they were […]

Yay, temp job!

In Work on 12 March 2003

I got a temp job today! It’s not much, but it’s better than nothing. It’s a nice little data entry job, so I can make some bucks for a few weeks.

I hate jobhunting.

In Work on 27 February 2003

Hate it. I hate talking to people, I hate worrying about what to say on behavioral interviews, I just hate it. I don’t even feel like I care what I do.

I’m doomed.

Hooray for semi-productivity!

In Work on 28 January 2003

Well, I got some things done today at least. I e-mailed one of my former supervisors and made sure he was still willing to be a reference for me. I managed to get myself to call the temp agency even though I was scared. I also e-mailed another former boss, but unfortunately, it seems he’s […]

I need a job

In Work on 26 January 2003

So, finally, thanks to the prompting of my sweetie, I finished my resume and sent it to a headhunter. He doesn’t have anything at the moment, but he said he’d keep his eye out. I suppose that’s good, but I still have stuff to do. I need to contact my references and make sure they’re […]

Am I there yet?

In Work on 5 December 2002

I wish, I wish, I wish the term was over. I have no idea if I’m going to pass all my classes or not, and I know I will be severely disappointed in myself if I don’t. I handed in a particularly dismal rendition of a term project today because I was unable to get started on it throughout […]

I gotta get outta here!

In Work on 18 October 2002

I so hope that when I graduate, I’ll finally have the time to do more of the stuff that I want on my site. So many ideas, so little time! Just 8 more weeks. I only hope that I come out on top.
