What? What’s that? AN UPDATE?!?! NOOOOO!!!

So, contrary to a small rumor, I have not already moved to Shelby Township. I am moving at the end of the month. I just took some stuff down yesterday. Thursday will be similar, except that other, exciting, things will be happening. 11:15 AM is my second interview with Ingham County. When my Dad gets off of work, we’re going down to a dealership and looking at several versions of the Chevy Malibu. They’re über-discounted.

So, no Vibe, but at least I’ll be driving what looks to be an unmarked government vehicle. I need one of those “I’m reading your email.” bumperstickers, or something that says “We’re watching you.” Heh.

Why do I have to be poor when I’m going to be in proximity to East Alley Records once again?! *shakes fist* DAMN YOUSE GUYS TO HELL!!

You're Roman! Artistic, and a bit odd. You often feel lost and somewhat shy.

Catching up with everything.

I haven’t updated in forever. I’ve got about twelve minutes until the MSU library closes. I’ve had my cable turned off, and I need to call the power people to let them know I’m moving.

I’m moving the first batch of crap down tomorrow. I’ve got to be up before 9 AM so that the cable guy can get the cable modem that’s Comcast’s, so I’ll spend a bit more time tonight packing and some time tomorrow morning packing. Tomorrow, besides unpacking crap into the garage, I’ll be getting a Shelby Twp. library card (for nostalgic and book-borrowing purposes) and discussing new car options with the Dad.

The Dad is getting rid of his tins. Dear gods.

More posting tomorrow.

Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Karvina, a town in the Czech Republic, has passed a law making it illegal to grow weeds. Offenders can be forced to pay a hefty fine if the Weeds Commission finds, say, a thistle flourishing amidst the potato plants. I’m tempted to enforce an equally stringent requirement on you Tauruses, at least for the next two weeks. For your own long-term good, as well as everyone else’s, you cannot afford to be lax towards interlopers, whether they’re actual or metaphorical weeds. Maintain the highest standards, please. Commit yourself with passionate integrity to incorruptible purity.

Quick update.

I miss Mel. Mel, I have a letter for you… give me your snail mail addy. *whine* Even though I’m not concerned about speeding. Please?

I am being recommended for the second interview. Found out today. If I don’t get a call by tomorrow afternoon, I wonder if I should call the MIS dept. guy with the county.

Hanging out with the parentals was surprisingly cool yesterday.

There are more crap jobs in Roch. and Roch. Hills and Shelby Twp. than in the entire Lansing area. But then again, there are also more real jobs there as well.

I’ve decided not to send out the Chapter 4 update unless people ask for it. So, if you want to read it, comment here or e-mail me.

Excitement

So, remember a month and a half ago, when I was excited because there were two jobs that I thought I’d be up for? Like, seriously considered for? One was for Ingham County and one was for Comcast. I’m having this deja-vu feeling. And no, not the strip club.

I had my first interview with Ingham County today. It went excellently. The HR guy recognized me from a year ago, and just pulled out the old interview question responses to help things go more smoothly. In fact, the date on the questions from my first interview last time around was July 17th. Uncanny. Oh, well. This time I’m going to enjoy the good feeling of being professionally wanted, and let these two companies fight over me.

gave me some free months of paid user status. I’ve got all my icons back, whee!! Have I mentioned lately how much I love her? Cuz I do.

There once was a man named Dave…

No game at all this weekend. I think I’m going into withdrawl.

Friday, I was called by Ingham County Human Resources. I have an interview tomorrow at 2:30 PM. This is for the job that I applied for just around the same time that I applied for the Comcast job.

Oh, and I’ve given up on getting anything useful from Ms. Wong of Comcast HR. Every time I call, she’s like “Let me get your file”… pause for five minutes… “Mr. Crampton? Yes, they’re still reviewing you. We’re now hiring for the August class.” It’s like a rehearsed speech. I ask questions, and she just repeats this information. I swear to Bob, it’s like she doesn’t want to tell me that I’ve been rejected. See, guys? THIS is why I’m paranoid.

Chapter four is done. Tomorrow, I’ll be sending it out to the usual readership.

Aside from the job interview, tomorrow is the City Council meeting. Today is perusing the Detroit News for more jobs to apply to, and possibly lots of writing. So nyah.

Yes, my cell phone will be on and with me. :)
