snapdragon76: this is made of win and awesome (ES)
Yesterday was a semi-long day for me.

First, I had to drop by the temp agency so I could give them a hard copy of my resume that was asked for. I had originally left one with my application weeks ago, but I think it's for their files and therefore not available to be given out to potential employers. I tried e-mailing it a few times, but the first attempt was fruitless since it got bounced back to me for some reason. I sent it a second time, but I got no response so I thought I'd hand one over in person. The lady I gave it to asked me if I had gone through the orientation to which I said I had. She mentioned that she had some openings for a data entry position. I was interested, but I said that I wanted my resume to go to the guy who had originally trained me since he had said he might have an opening for me. But, if that doesn't pan out, I know I have other options available for me.

Then, afterwards I went to the bank since I needed to drop off my deposit being as it's the first of the month. I was thinking of something to do for lunch, but I wasn't really hungry then, so I decided to wait.

I went down to the bookstore so I could browse and see if any new manga had come in. It hadn't. So I left there and went to Target to browse there. Big mistake. I was mostly in the DVD section and I saw several DVD's I wanted. And yes, I saw the reduced price 'Veronica Mars' Season One set. I might've bought it if I hadn't already put it on my birthday list. It sat on the shelf, taunting me. The reduced price is good until the 22nd, so...

After leaving Target empty handed (which was just as well), I went to PetSmart so I could get some cat food. Since Wal-Mart was practically next door, I went to get some TP. I needed some milk, but I wanted to wait until I finished everything else before I got that.

Since I still had some time to kill before my next appointment, I went and loitered at CVS for a few minutes. Then, it was time to go to the shrink's office.

Now, I wasn't there to see the doc, I was there to see her receptionist. She's a friend of my mom's and she had asked if I wanted to come by and see what she does since she wants to see if I can fill in for her if need be. I didn't say yes, but I did say I'd go and see what it entailed. It was OK. Then the doctor finished her last appointment and wanted to see me. *gulp* I think she thought I was definitely going to say yes, because she kept asking me some questions (which is why she's a shrink I guess). I tried not to sound as though I was fully commited to doing it, because to be frank, I was more interested in the data entry field. I told her I didn't know when I'd be available since I was already 'involved' with the temp agency. She seemed to think I was working directly for the temp agency (which in a way I am. Sorta) since she kept asking if she should call them to work something out. I then said it wasn't so much them that was the issue, but whatever company they farm me out to. I'd have to work with their schedule, not the temp agency's. Besides, the company may want to hire me on a permanent basis and then I wouldn't be available at all. She seemed to understand after I explained it to her. I mean, it didn't seem like a hard job or anything, it's just I'm not particularly interested into doing the whole 'medical office reception/secretary' type thing, which is why I never applied for them when positions became open at the doctor's office where mom works. Just *shudders* But I did say I'd think it over and then let them know. I do feel sorta bad since our friend may need someone to fill in for her and there won't be anyone.


Anyway, after that was all over and done with, I then went on to Sonic to eat me a burger. They have pretty decent burgers there. Usually I'd get me a hot dog or something like that, but ever since they went to nothing but foot long, I had to look to something different. And I naturally got my grape slushie. Yums!

I went to Best Buy to see what DVD's they had. They always had a decent selection of anime DVD's there and that's where I went to look for most of them. I didn't get anything there though...

Then it was onto the bookstore to see if they had any manga there. No, nothing new. But I did pick up a few anime magazines and some more books by the one author who writes mysteries set in the Edo Era. I got like, four of those, so I had a decent haul.

Finally, I got my milk. I had to use a $10 bill since I didn't have enough coinage to buy it. I was a little upset about that, but I needed the milk. I only had a bout a spit left anyway.

Mom and I had intended to haul more stuff to the storage place, but she was kinda tired when she got off work, so we didn't. She said definitely today though, so we'll have to wait and see.

'Everwood' last night was a bit intense. Hannah (as well as Amy and Ephram) found out about Bright's little screw-up. Naturally she was very upset. So, I don't know what the fallout is going to be since it happend at the end of last night's episode. I really hope we have television access next week so we can catch the season enders to some of our shows. This move is happening at a really bad time.

Tonight I'll be able to catch 'Veronica Mars' since I'll be home instead of at Bible Study. I just hope I can catch next week's finale.

Our housing sitch hasn't changed much. Mom called yesterday and the lady said it's still the 11th. I'm praying for a bit of a miracle here. I mean, my aunt did say we could stay with them, but she's allergic to cats, so we need somewhere for them to go for a week. *is trying not to panic*

I did see that there are six different manga volumes I want to get this month. RK 26, FMA 7, ES 1, SDK 18, DN 5 and TriMax 9. This isn't counting the shoujo ones that may be released. Now I know why there's the saying, "Crack is Cheaper."

Trivia of the day: Actor Robert Mitchum served time on a Georgia chain gang as a teenager. He had been arrested for vagrancy.

You know, I keep thinking of these witty things to put in my journal, but by the time I get around to posting anything, I've forgotten them. Maybe I should keep a little notebook around my neck so I can remember what it is.

The house is beginning to look like a war zone. The lady we're staying with is going to be moving to North Carolina soon, so she's been packing up her things and things are in a bit of a disarray. So far we haven't heard anything about the potential housing situations we've looked into. I'm doing my best to hang on, but it's getting to be very hard. *sighs* I just have to hope that something comes along soon. I know, I've bored everyone with all of this stuff a lot, and for that I apologize.

I haven't heard anything about the job I applied for, but then I haven't checked my other e-mail yet. I still plan on applying to the one other place so I can cover my bases. I just don't know anymore.

Dad did say something interesting to me the other day. He said that if I wanted to, I could move up to Michigan and he'd help me with my housing and employment stuff. And for the first time, I seriously considered it. I mean, I can't stay here forever. However, I can't go anywhere anyway. I have too many responsibilities here. Mom needs me especially since grandma's no longer here. *sigh*

Last night's 'Everwood' episode was really cute. It had Bright/Hannah squee in it and the big rumor surrounding Kyle online turned out to be true. Not that I thought it wouldn't, but sometimes you can't trust some of the stuff you hear online.

And I went to the bookstore yesterday and picked up a copy of RK 25 finally! I really like this volume. Why? Because Yahiko kicks ass, that's why. Now I want to pick up the latest issue of 'Shojo Beat,' because I hear the 'Kaze Hikaru' chapter in it is really cute!! And you know me and cuteness! I also bought two Dave Barry books and a couple of magazines.

Today I have vacuuming to do and dishes to put away.

Trivia of the day: There is evidence to suggest that ginger root is effective against motion sickness and nausea when taken in powdered form.

I just found out that we have a lot less time than I thought to find a new place... *sighs* That's a bit discouraging. I'm doing my best not to wallow, though.

I applied for a job online. It's for a loan service and I'm not 100% sure just what the job entails, but I do know I'm pretty qualified for it. I haven't heard anything back yet. I'm a little anxious. I mean, I want to work, but I'm a little afraid to at the same time. Eep.

Friday night we watched 'Narnia.' I liked it just as much as I did the first time. I like watching the extras that are on the DVD. Like the bloopers were pretty fun.

Saturday mom spent most of the time with my aunt delivering the rest of the bells. Later on, they picked me up and we drove around to see what we could see of the large fire that was at the local park. It was massive! It burned almost 250 acres! The park itself is only about 350 or so (I don't remember specifically). It's been so dry lately that he whole area was just a tinderbox. Luckily no one got hurt and no homes were damaged.

We went to see Take The Lead yesterday. I didn't go into it with any preconceptions so I didn't really know what to expect. It turned out to be pretty good. A few critics gave it paltry reviews though, but I rarely pay attention to them anyway. I mean, what's wrong with going to the movies just to go and have a good time? I mean, that's pretty much what they're for. I doubt I'd be a very good movie critic anyways...

I actually got around to watching more of 'Fushigi Yuugi.' I got to Episode 33 and almost cried.

As for today, I really don't know what I'll do. I mean, I have laundry, but that's pretty much it.

Trivia of the day: The act of snapping one's fingers has a name. It is called a "fillip."
