108

Not counting this entry, I have 107 posts in this blog. Who woulda thunk? Anywho, it's been about a week since my last post, so I thought I'd update the scores of readers out there with what I've been up to.
Mainly, I've been looking for a job.
Last Thursday I went to a job fair at this place in Midtown. Haven't heard anything from them yet, and, honestly, I'll be surprised if I do. I was interviewed by a bloody embryo in a suit and tie. I suspect they were just farming applications to add to their data base. Basically, they were playing the numbers game.
Pheh.
Once more I went by Barnes & Noble and picked up an application, and, once more, I slept right through the alarm clock. That getting up at 8:00 in the morning is for the birds. Still, there's always next week. Right? Right.
Today, I have applied for a position at the Anchorage Grande Hotel. They were looking for someone to work three nights a week, 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, so the hours would be ideal. I e-mailed them a cover letter and an abbreviated resume, which means I'll provide personal and professional references if they call me back.
Also saw an ad on Craigslist for a Junior Production Assistant. It's an entry level, full time job, posted about a week ago, but I thought: what the hell? So I fired off an e-mail to them to see if they had filled the position or not.
Other than that, not a lot going on. I'm still banging my head against the wall on my mystery and am seriously thinking I should just scrap it and go write something else.
I went and saw Eat Pray Love at the movies this past Friday and I'm definitely not finishing the book now. Terrible book, terrible movie.
And that's where I'm at right now. Not a lot else going on. When I finish here, I'm going to contact my temp agency and let them know I'm available this week. But things have been dead there too, so I'm not holding my breath.
Still alive and looking for work. - G.
