Stupid interview questions = stupid interview answers
ie "This job requires the ability to multi-task and to prioritize. How would you go about prioritizing what needs to be done."
"I would determine what needs to be done first and work on that. If I had any problems determining what needed to be done first, I would ask my supervisor."
I hardly had the chance to...

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
UPDATE!!!
I have a telephone interview on Thursday. It is not the job I would prefer, but it's a start and a foot in the door with the city government (can you say 18 hours of college paid for each year??). Think good thoughts for me! I really need a job!

i'm overqualified for the 1st one, but they're paying well. interview went GREAT though.

Um. Otown's not so bad! Living a life not worrying about bills. Hmm. I don't. But I worry about life. Things have a way of teetering in the balance. I hope things have gone well since your accident? I hadn't checked back. I see you want to learn woodworking. Might as well learn from a "master." But I am a bit bloated I guess. Seriously, I'm sure I can field any question.
If you were a friend.

Who do you miss?
Many of my closest friends live all over the world from Germany to the far parts of the US like Austin and Detroit. I miss them all the time, but I'm okay with it because I still manage to talk or email with them even after so many years of living apart.

Well, I overcame my disappointment and enjoyed the movie--it was really pretty good. Heath Ledger gave an amazing performance; he reminded me of half my relatives in the Southwest. Beautiful cinematography, but still realistic. And sad, sad, sad, of course; people were sobbing in the lobby as we left.
Ohh, there's no blues like moving blues. Are you moving far away, or just to better digs?

this was a really beautiful story. its late and i have to go to sleep, so im sending you back in my journal for who i miss.
Wow... thanks for the b-day wishes! It was nice to see, especially from those not on my friend's list (not that the ones from my friend's were thought any less of, because they weren't).
The holidays have been good so far, but I will be glad when the craziness is over. Our friend has been in Japan since July and he's back in town, so...

Right before 8 am on Saturday, I was driving to school to take a chem test. I was on the interstate, so I was going about 60mph when, lo and behold, something comes flying out of the power truck in front of me and hits the roof of my car. If it had been maybe 2" lower, it would have hit...

So, through some crazy acts of fate, Andrew found a house for us. Hmmm... and you wonder why I go by (and love the word) serendipitous? I haven't seen the place, but I trust him to find a place that is up to par and my ana-retentive self sent him a list of pre-reqs that we had agreed upon before he saw the inside.

thanks for responding. I agree you need to live a little. you should try these things in this order of importance... but don't consider this a time-line for accomplishment... enjoy these things as they come at you. spending a night in jail was more fun than you would imwginge(O.K. more enlightening than fun...but oyu get the picture). All the others are... I thiknk... Overrated!!!

Blech... stupid html does't work... oh well...
What is the world coming to? Why do people think that the random killing of innocent people will solve anything? I just don't get it. There are plenty of "ideals" and beliefs that I certainly do not agree with, but it would never occur to me that killing random people who may or may not disagree with me would be a good thing. Sure, it...

After getting struck by lightning, my internet crapped out for a few weeks. Then I went on vacation, so I haven't been around for a while.
School this semester sucks. Well, one class sucks and I'm dropping it which means delaying graduation a semester. It's an English class, something I'm naturally good at. Yet this teacher wants "formula writing." What does that mean? That means...

The semester is over. I had a whopping 4 days off before summer started. This semester should be easier (of course I just jinxed myself by writing that).
So between studying like crazy for finals and selling my mom's car for her, I've been a busy girl.
The pup is going to the vet. She has some weird little growth on her tum and I'm...

Religion AND Politics?!?! 
misterdoom:
Recovering Catholic here... I totally agree with the the author of the piece you quoted. Religion has caused more pain then any other cause or circumstance in the course of history. And the hypocrisy I've seen is ridiculous. If they don't agree with the dogma of their religion...why are they there? We all want to "change" things rather then find or found the practice that suits our beliefs. I'm Unitarian now... which is technically a religion but I prefer to think of it as a community of open minded people who sharing a spiritual journey... in whatever way they choose to let that manifest itself.
