So, I've been catching up on Lost, because it's an interesting show, and now I actually have time to watch it-- or at least decent enough internet that I can download it on a regular basis. I've finished season one, and I'm renting my way through season 2. I went to get disc 3 last night, and alas and alack, it was out. So I'm skipping to 4 and 5. Look at me, being a risk-taker!

Anyhow, I was talking to Skyler, who apparently lives in a bomb bunker like Brendan Frasier in Blast from the Past and says things like "gosh darn it", and in all seriousness, he turned to me and said, "you know, I've heard that Lost is like actually a pretty popular show."

I think I replied with an equal amount of intelligence when I simply stared at him.

This, I might add, came on the heels of "who was Truman Capote?" and "I've never heard of Bettie Page."

The boy is a serious pop culture 'tard.


As for me, today I have home-made chai, ginger cookies, long stripey socks, a DVD player, and comfy sheets. I will return to The Real World a little later.

Interview #1 - Accounting Staffing firm. Went pretty well, they'll call me if they have anything nearby for me.

Interview #2 - Sales and loan closing for a consolidation firm. Went very well, and I was offered the job. Downsides: wonky hours, kind of hard to get to unless I have a car. I'm going to call to give them an answer on Friday.

Interview #3 - Medical billing & front-desk tasks for a dentist's office that's five minutes from my house. Went pretty well-- the bosses seem to be good people, and there's great communication in the office. They're interviewing two more people tomorrow, so I won't hear from them until Friday. I do think that they want me for the job, though, as they've begun calling my references. I think the big question will be whether or not they can afford me. Sure, it's not a dream job, but it's money, and it's nearby.

Interview #4 - Setting up an interview for a bookkeeping (A/P & A/R) position with a new footwear company in the area. That'll likely be Thursday morning.

I've gotten calls from a few other places, but I really have no desire to work for a title firm, you know? So I'm going to keep my eye on CareerBuilder, Monster, and Craigslist in the meantime. The more I interview, the more options I have.

And I do not like being unemployed. I've technically only been unemployed for two days, one of which I spent marathon interviewing. Today was the first day of sitting home on my duff. Lemme tell you, I like a day off as much as the next gal, but I certainly like paychecks more.
