I don't really know why you'd be here. I mean, I know I'm the single most interesting person, but don't you people have lives? Really, it's quite sad.

Sad sadder day / Since I heard you went away / Sad sadder day / When I can't see your face
Last Monday we got the Dynasty into my name and I paid all the taxes and all that good stuff on it and got insurance. Tuesday I drove up to Storm Lake to interview for the position of Office Manager for Career Services at Buena Vista University. The interview went really well. She was very impressed by me, my resume, and my portfolio. And I was excited about this opportunity: great benefits, a job that would allow me to use my degree but wasn't entirely PR, a really nice boss, and an area where I would love to live. She told me that she should have her decision made by Thursday and would call me either way by Friday. Well, I was hoping to have good news for you all, but, alas, that is not to be. Friday afternoon I got the call that I knew was coming when I hadn't heard from her yet. She said the decision was really difficult, but she decided to go with someone else.
So now tomorrow I get to call them about the other jobs I've sent my resume for and find out what the status is on those because I'm losing patience. I just want something...I'm starting to not even care about benefits anymore...just something to get me somewhere I like so that I can more easily look for something better. I don't know. I hate this.
I got the sweetest thing in the mail on Friday: the past three months worth of newsletters for Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Greenville. I really miss them sometimes. And I'm starting to really seriously miss my GC friends because so many of them are back down there for the beginning of this school year. Heck, I'm just kinda down about the fact that I will not be going back to school like just about everyone else I know is and like I'm so used to doing. It's really strange. I don't know what's wrong with me. And no, Christy, Ryan, and Bill, I will not go to grad school.
Today, for the first time in my life (with the exception of the past two years when I was down at Greenville already), I didn't go to the annual Ames City Employee Picnic. Apparently, only those members of the family on the insurance policy were able to attend, so my parents went while I stayed home and watched some movies and Gilmore Girls to try to get myself out of this annoying funk I've been in.
OK, ending on some good notes: Yay Cael!! :-D Congratulations Bill on finally being able to answer, "yes, I am engaged." ;-) And happy birthday to Eric and apparently my Uncle Dave. :-) Oh, and for some reason when I topped-up my VirginMobile account tonight, they "added a $5 'Pass It On' airtime bonus"--whatever that means and whyever I got it...I ain't complainin'! :-D
