The results are in...

...and I am still unemployed.

Yep, I got one of those lovely letters. You know the ones, "We appreciate your interest in the position. We had a lot of very qualified applicants. Please check our website for future employment opportunities. We regret to inform you blah blah blah."

Let's for a moment ignore the fact that it only took them oh... I don't know a month and a half to get back to me, and talk about my new life plan.

Here it is folks! The official Miss Business Casual Plan B (and no I'm not talking about that Plan B). It goes a little something like this:

Step 1: Throw a mini pity party for one.
Step 2: Realize the party sucks and politely leave.
Step 3: Kick booty on Fall semester finals.
Step 4: Be cool, stay in school.
Step 5: Extend your student loan (i.e. feed the life sucking monster named DEBT, who is sure to haunt you for many many years to come) to cover the always changing, ever rising cost of tuition.
Step 6: Try not to die while taking 4 classes in the Spring so you can graduate at the end of Summer Session II.
Step 7: Graduate.
Step 8: Figure out a new life plan.

Of course, mixed in with all these steps is a lot of prayer and many stress-induced breakdowns, but hey at least there's a goal out there in the distance. And really this mooching off of Mom and Dad thing isn't really all that bad. Benefits include, but are not limited to: free rent, occasional home-cooked meals, mini family reunions whenever Sis comes home, unlimited use of Beatles Rock Band for Wii, and free puppy-sitting on the weekends when I go to visit Boyfriend.

Speaking of Pups... he says, "Merry Christmas!" This is his first you know.


(We call this his "Blue Steel" face. Or... maybe I just came up with that...)

G-chattin'

me: hey boo
Boyfriend: sup boo
me: i'm at work
Boyfriend: I'm in class
haha
me: aka stalking facebook and reading blogs
Boyfriend: aka reading an article I should have read before this class
me: wow we're so dedicated
Boyfriend: I know right
me: no clue why i'm still unemployed and you're still in school
Boyfriend: Well you are in school too. And you won't be unemployed long.
me: right...
Boyfriend: PS I think the engineering helps (and by "helps" he means gives him an excuse to stay an extra football season semester)
me: i was making a joke
and you totally ruined it
Boyfriend: I know
sorry

I heart this boy big time.

But... sometimes my sarcasm flies right over his cute ginger head.

Frustrationville

Alright y'all. I've got to rant just a wee bit for a minute. Remember like forever ago when I told you all about my interview with the company I like to refer to as GreatBank? Well, I went on said interview, thought I did pretty well, and left with the promise of hearing back from them in about a week.

Well... that was 3 1/2 weeks ago!

What the heck is taking them so long?! The job starts in January and I think the candidates would like to know more than a month in advance.

Now I've heard from various sources (ahem, Boyfriend and Mom) that this is completely unacceptable, but I'm trying to stay positive and haven't let myself "go there." However, I will admit the wait is kind of turning me off to the corporation.

There is a group of recruiters making the selections and I know they have a lot of things going on right now, but am I ridiculous for thinking I should have at least gotten an update on their progress? I just don't know bloggy buddies. If I don't get the job (which is looking more and more likely with each passing day) it's fine because I can just stay in grad. school, but I would just like to know one way or the other so I can stop jumping every time my phone rings.

I currently live in Frustrationville. Ugh!
