I’ve got to start updating this thing more regularly. What’s the point in having a blog if I don’t use it?

Problem is, I don’t feel like I’ve had a whole lot of thoughts lately. Does that even make sense?

It’s like… Wake, work, come home, eat, sleep.

Six weeks in, and I’m still trying to adjust to my new big-kid schedule. ;)

My poor boyfriend has the world’s worst cold. It’s breaking my heart :(

I wish I could magically make him better.

I also feel useful for the first time since I left the paper.

I finally have a job again that requires dedication, skill, concentration, and all that good stuff that ultimately results in the satisfaction of a job well-done.

Yay!

Love is…

taaawisssh:

…a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.

Oh my god… I have a fulll-time job!

It’s about time :)

Dolla dolla bill, ya’ll!

Waiting for a job to call back is like torture. I jump every time my phone makes a sound.

It’s cleaning day

You should see my bedroom. There’s a path from my bed to my door, and that’s about it. I need to get this shit under control.

I also need to work on being a cleaner, more organized person, but that’s an entirely different topic :)

It seems like I’m the only person at my work who hasn’t gotten the flu yet.

I like to think that my good health is in large part thanks to taking the following vitamins every night:

Vitamin C (500 mg)
Vitamin D (1000 I.U.)
Vitamin B-12 (500 mcg)

My nose has been a little runny today, though. I’m hoping it doesn’t get any worse than that. I can’t have the flu ruining my delusion that these vitamins are helping me :)

P.S. Whoever said Vitamin D and B give you energy was full of crap. I’ve been taking them for months and haven’t had any more energy than before.

Is there anything worse than trying to “sell” yourself to get a job?

I don’t think so.

I’m horrible at it. Really. I hold back because I don’t want to look like I’m cocky or think too highly of myself, yet bragging about my skills and accomplishments is really the only way I’m going to convince someone to give me a job :)

This would probably explain why I’ve had next to no response to the job applications I’ve sent out since graduating. I need to do a better job of selling myself — Good thing Allan from Web100 is helping me out.

I need a critical eye, otherwise I get stuck in my comfort zone and become complacent ;)

I work with people who do nothing but complain about their jobs.

This pisses me off because I want nothing more than to get a full-time position, and it won’t happen as long as negative people stick around just so they have something to complain about and feel sorry for themselves about.

Also: Complaining about your job and mentioning how much you want a new career via your Facebook status every day is neither productive nor professional. There is very little keeping me from printing up their profiles and taking them to the people in charge, except the knowledge that doing so would probably ruin my career just as much as theirs (who wants to hire a tattle-tail?).

I would put so much more effort into my job if I were in their place, and I would do everything in my power to make sure we put out a quality newscast.

I just want a chance to show that I can :(
