Honestly, I don’t even know why I bother picking up the American Classifieds anymore. The only job listings I see (locally) in there anymore are construction/skilled labor related or highly specialized jobs that require multiple degrees and X-amount of years experiance. Case in point: listings for respiratory therapy technician jobs. And yet, every Thursday, without [...]

Haha, talk about a weird and random blog title, right? It actually makes total sense since I’ve got a little moose with a jolly Christmas bell tied around his neck staring at me right now. Say what? Here I am at the 24hr lab/laundry on campus at NMSU and I’ve met another eccentric person here. [...]

On the way back from ‘Cruces, I stopped off at the Pilot truckstop to get some gas (cheaper there then in Vado) and to get a refil for my 64oz cup from their fountain (they have shots so I was able to get Cherry Dr. Pepper! ) and while in the checkout line there was [...]

I was looking through the Sunday paper a little while ago, mostly checking out the Classifieds for any job postings I could submit myself to, and then browsing the grocery ads for good deals, when I came upon a notice that there was a career fair coming soon. Even though I have yet to have [...]

I can’t help but wonder if I really am the “insensitive bitch” that some people seem to think I am. I can’t remember if I posted about it here on my blog, but a while back my mom was let go from her job for [essentially] attending a seminar that she needed but that her [...]

For some reason quite a few of my friends have been turning to me for help with their taxes, most of whom have generated some sort of income through the internet. I find this kind of funny since I’m not an accountant (although my mother is and I have some experience as well) and I [...]

It’s Monday, which means the start of a new week of littering the town with my resume in the hopes that I can find a job to pay the bills. At this point finding a place where I can actually put my degree to use has become a secondary objective. Sad really. I’m almost tempted [...]

Ever since my laptop crashed a few months ago I’ve been very careful about keeping my files backed up, software up to date, and regular scans. I’ve got my most important files, like my 10GB of music, 300 fonts, some important software I can’t just “download”, and dozens of adobe brushes kept backed up on [...]

I got back from theater a little while ago. My mother and I went to see Michael Jackson’s This Is It which is a video biography that contains footage of the rehearsals for MJ’s This Is It tour as well as interviews from dancers, producers, and musicians who were involved in its production. To be [...]

Things aren’t exactly looking up right now for my mother. First and foremost her hours have been drastically reduced. By this I mean that the office does not open until 8am and closes at 3pm, assuming she has work to keep her busy. If she’s finished with her clients for the day, which she usually [...]
