i can't sleep. here is why:


every time i talk to my grandmother on the phone she always asks me how my love life is going. this is starting to become embarrassing because my answer is always the same: it's nonexistant. it's also becoming depressing. i have been single for going on TWO YEARS now. i don't even have a crush on anyone. i am almost furious.

i am also almost furious about how i still do not have a job. i did not get either one of the jobs with the arts & science council. i am going to check how many jobs i have applied to since March: 47. Out of those, I only even got interviews with 3 places, and only one of those was even in-person. jeez louise.

these are basic human desires, to want a job and to want a significant other. WHY AM I SENTENCED TO LANGUISH FOREVER WITH NEITHER

i am also almost furious about how things have to die. cyndi died almost exactly a year ago. any living thing could die at any time. i am going to go throw up.

career update


this is a big week for me.

monday: had a preliminary phone interview with an education nonprofit downtown who are looking for an administrative assistant. 20-25 hrs a week, $15/hr. the interview was a lot more intense than i thought it'd be; apparently their standards are sky high... good thing i'm so AWESOME huh! i hear back on thursday or friday about the next round of interviews.

tuesday: charlie's first birthday! i go into the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art around 2 to help set up their facebook page, and hopefully have an audience with the president of the museum to discuss how i can weasel my way into a job there someday

wednesday: all day 8-5 or later at "little italy", the bechtler family's art compound. being a photographer's assistant i think. free lunch.

thursday: my first day getting paid $10/hr for an internship with a public relations agency downtown!

friday: WHO KNOWS WHAT THE FUTURE MAY HOLD!

career update


after two months and two interviews (the last of which was with the entire departmen & i nailed it), i finally found out that i did NOT get the job at discovery place. mega-bummer.

however, the same day i got that news I finally spoke on the phone with someone from the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, which is opening here next spring. i accepted an internship with them doing a graphic design project and then whatever other things they have for me to do. it's unpaid though, of course. this is my fourth unpaid internship :'[ i'm sad no one can pay me for all of the great things i can do. plus the lady told me their plans for hiring which are extremely limited and it doesnt sound like they plan to offer any positions for someone like me. i mean unless i want to just work in the museum shop :'[

but i really feel like if i hang around there enough, they'll realize how valuable i am and offer me a job at some point. right now i just want to help out in any way that i can and see where it goes.

after talking with the lady at the Bechtler about my career goals, she recommended a graduate certificate program at UNCC to me. it's a certificate in nonprofit management. i applied today, hopefully i'll be accepted. if i want to turn it into a masters degree later, all of the credits could be applied towards that, too. also, all of the classes are at night in case i do manage to land myself a full-time day job.

as for now though i applied to be a cashier at target :'[

god damn this economy
