Not just temporary
|
I am dedicating this entry to the pursuit of the one thing I've wanted since my cocoon-like AmeriCorps term ended and I was expected to do adult things with my life.
I need a job.
Right now, I need a job in a desperate manner, the way that some people crave literacy, or wealth, or the......Read More

Six-month checkup
|
I've been in Boston for half a year. I can't believe it- it flew. How, I wonder, especially when I was a receptionist for more than two months doing virtually nothing for 8 hours a day. But it did pass.
So my time in Boston, summed up:
Living situation~ apartment with......Read More

$50, 7 weeks
|
I'm going to challenge myself to spend $50 or less between now and Christmas on things that I don't absolutely need. So, groceries don't count, and neither does rum (sorry I mean gum, no, really, I do) rent, personal care products or my T passes. What DOES count: food that I order,......Read More

Weak attempt

I'm really psyched that the Sox won the world series. I'm glad I came to Boston just in time to see them doing well and to see the people in hordes on the streets, performing the celebratory dance as seen on tv by Papelbon. Undoubtedly awesome!
But the police wouldn't let me......Read More

Funny ha-ha
|
There's a bowling & billiards place about 5 min from my apartment that has "open mic night wednesdays". For awhile, my roommmate has been going to these open mic nights, and so has our friend, because both of them can play guitar and sing. I lack the guitar talent......Read More

Ready Steady Go.
|
I'm ready to stop answering phones and cleaning up after finance executives. I'm ready to take on more challenging and inspirational work. I'm ready to write and edit.
I'm ready to get up & go. I'm ready to spend a whole afternoon on a project that might not be fun, but at......Read More

Job Interview Explicit Content

I had the final phase of my interviewing process with a non-profit today, and it went well. I'll hear back next week, she tells me. Great, so I only have nine or 10 days to wonder if I'm good enough for ...Read More

Put me in coach, I'm ready to play.
|
Until last night, I had never in my life enjoyed watching a televised sporting event. Well, maybe basketball once or twice, if the Spartans were playing, but I never got into it. This was before I went to a bar in Allston with some friends, and had the incredible bonding......Read More

He's not "little"
|
My second day on the job at the place where I'm temping, there were a few business people who came to meet with the Managing Director. They must have been discussing baseball (I was half paying attention) because one of them, a young woman who was probably my age- maybe a tad older- was......Read More

Thou Shalt Not Steal
|
The first week that I lived in Boston, someone stole my bike. I'm glad it wasn't a really new or expensive bike- I'd had it since I was 14 and it's kind of clunky. So I'll get a new bike when it's warmer outside and I can afford to spend a little on a decent-but-not-flashy......Read More
