So it was pointed out to me that I haven't updated or posted or anything in a while.
So here's an updatey type thing.
No, I still don't have a job. Thanks to certain "schools" who care more about the quantity than the quality of their graduates, virtually every medical employer in the known universe is under the impression that all new MAs are retards who can't tell the difference between a stethoscope and a rhinocerous' asshole. Makes it hard to even get an interview, much less a job offer. I'm still applying away though. I don't have much choice. I have to apply for at least 3 jobs a week to keep getting my unemployment.
I'm still living alone and enjoying it. I don't have to clean up after anyone but me and HIS ROYAL MAJESTY the cat. I can eat what I want, my leftovers don't magically disappear, and nobody hounds me about my drinking. Oh, and I can have "visitors" * winkwinknudgenudge* whenever I want. Which isn't as often as I really want, but whatever.
And in the meantime I'm going apeshit not working, not knowing when, or even if, I'm going to be able to support myself again or pay my student loans or even live above the fucking poverty line.
And I think to myself what a wonderful world...

And I realized it's been a while since I made an update of any substance. To make things easier to follow, I think I'll do a numerated list.
1. The job search thing. I haven't had an interview since the last one, which had the same result as the one before it. This means I've had a whopping 2 interviews in the 2 months since I graduated. Part of the problem is that I'm a new graduate, and there's a bias against new grads, thanks to places like Pima that churn out crappy unqualified graduates as fast as possible. I've reworked my resume though, and I'm hoping that it's more enticing to prospective employers. I'm trying not to get too depressed by the whole thing, but it aint easy.
2...well really more 1a. A buddy of mine...well, okay, a fuck buddy of mine (note to those few who aren't aware by now, I'm bi-leaning-more-to-the-gay-side), has been talking recently about his desire to move back to Santa Cruz. Well, the other day he forwards me this job posting for a position in Santa Cruz and includes the words "you get the job, and the two of us move down there and get a place together." I'm trying not to read too much into this, but that (combined with a few other things) sounds an awful lot like a proposal for living together as opposed to being just roommates. Part of me wants to ask him to clarify his intentions, but the other side is all "no you'll look retarded." Blah.
3...or 2, if you consider the previous paragraph 1a. The living by myself thing is awesome. I love only having to clean up after and deal with myself. I have this skankly neighbor chick who I think has the hots for me, and...um, ew, not even with Kevin's dick, and my upstairs neighbors have twin 2 year old boys who insist on stomping everywhere, but aside from that it's great. I think I'm happier living alone than with another person...oh dear, I think this has turned into 1b, and I've shot the numerated list all to hell. Bollocks.
Oh well, sod the numerated list. I don't think I have anything else to update anyway.

Jun. 24th, 2010 08:47 pmHave I ever mentioned how very very much I hate moving?
And how very very much it sucks to have done so, and to no longer have access to my dad's oxycodone?
Because right now my back and knees are made of throb and ouch and OHGODWHY.
And I'm coated in a lovely slime from having sweated to almost the point of dehydration pretty much constantly throughout the day.
I should probably go take a shower and get so very very drunk. And take about double the amount of naproxen I usually do.
But at least I'm now in my new place. My bed is set up and made (and it's calling me as we speak), my TV and DVD player are set up (albeit in the living room since there's no room in my bedroom for it, which means no more sleeping to the TV...that's going to take some serious readjustment), and I have my computer stuff all set up. Tomorrow the real fun begins. Unpacking. OH JOY! :\
Have I mentioned ouch and hurt and pain and shoot me yet?

Jun. 8th, 2010 02:16 pmI am now posting from inside my new condo. It's alllllll kinds of empty, since the vast majority of my belongings are still at Casa de Lardass, but that will be changing rather rapidly over the next week or so.
And not to worry, faithful fanbase, I just set up an appointment for Comcast to come install my interbutt next Tuesday, so there won't be any downtime. I'm not planning on permanently taking up residence until after the 22th (yes, I did just say twenty-tooth), so you won't miss me in the slightest.
I can't wait to have everything all here and be settled. I'm so excited. I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control, and I think I like it. XD

Update of an update
Jun. 3rd, 2010 02:40 pmI get to sign the lease and collect the keys Tuesday. Then I can start getting all my stupid boxes out of the storage container and into my new condo.
But first I have to buy some insect foggers. The storage container is full of spiders, and I was stupid enough to leave a big box of liquor-filled chocolates in there, which is now an ant farm. *le sigh*
Can you say excited? Sure, I knew that you could.
