Subject: I am excited because...

Written By: quirky_cat_girl on 11/05/06 at 9:50 pm

....

The movie Cars is coming out on Tuesday. I will have to say that it is one of my favorite cartoons (and Toy Story used to be my favorite and I didn't think it could be beat..but it was). I love the whole "Route 66" nostalgic feel of the movie. If you know me...you know that sort of thing is my cup of tea. :)


So....what are you all excited about?

I love it when November comes...it seems like every weekend there is something holiday-related going on.  Actually, there was a lot of Halloween/harvest/fall stuff happening in October, now that I think about it.  This weekend, Chris, Beth, and I are going to shippensburg to see her bf Justin's school musical. It's such a nice drive there (about 3 hours)....lots of neat roadside attractions, etc. along the way.

I just read about Roadside America in a Bill Bryson book.  It sounded like something you might like.  It's a large model railway, with little towns and farms and what-not.  He says it's "charming in a not-touched-since-1957 kind of way"

No idea where in Pennsylvania it is.  he was driving from New Hampshire to Ohio

THE Lemmy indeed.


Tell him someone he's never heard of thanks him personally for two (or four) things. 

1) "Eat the Rich", as in the movie, not just the song.  By far the funniest date movie I've ever gone to.  Umm... let me rephrase that.  Tell him the fact that at least one guy thinks of "Eat the Rich" as a date movie oughta give him everything he needs to figure out why I'm thanking him.  Heh.

2) "1916", as in the album. For three tracks: 

2a) Yeah, I've since been told that's how it is for a soldier.
2b) I'll neither confirm nor deny that (over water, sufficiently far away from civilization, and in the presence of a co-pilot who would have been just as crazy to let me do it) I've been behind the controls of a rather nice civilian aircraft with my headphones attached to nothing but the sounds of "Going to Brazil" and "Angel City".  As Bart Simpson would say, "can't prove nothing", but thank him anyway.
2c) And if I had done the thing mentioned in 2b, we both drew the line at "I'm So Bad".  Four wheels and a few miles of track, and a few weeks later, on the other hand, was fair game. Still one of the very few tracks I will not have on my current ride's MP3 selection.

Some music never goes out of style.  Thanks for bringing back some good memories.

people gotta give you some space and let you have your morning wakeup routine. I'm pretty worthless without a dose of caffeine. The worst for me is when I get to work, I'm typically moody because it's early and I need some time and people that have been at work for a couple hours want to start a conversation before I've even logged on my computer and usually I try to hide my displeasure but sometimes it shows  ;D  but it works and gets them to  BACK OFF.

Learn Norwegian.
I'd love to, but I'd need a tutor ;)  Besides, I think I read somewhere that your chances of learning a new language after age 30 is highly unlikely (at least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it ;))

Well, considering "Norsk" started the sentence and Andy was talking about learning Norwegian before he posted that.....yes, it was Norwegian.

You can do it if you study the right way. I went to class for german and arabic when I was 33 and learned japanese when I was the same age, about.  Of course, you have to work hard to maintain your skills, which I didnt', but you can do it. Dont' let "facts" like that stop you.

It does not take 2 hours to fill out a job application.  Take it from him, go home and fill it out yourself.  You'll be done in maybe 15 minutes.....30 minutes tops.  What the hell do you do on this application that takes 2 hours?  Write an essay?



Anyhow, I'm excited because the roofers are coming on Tuesday to fix our roof.  I noticed a giant crack in my ceiling and the plaster's wet.....so we need to get that fixed before the roof caves in on me when I'm sleeping.

Ummmm, I don't climb around on the roof and since my dad lives in Charlotte.....he can't do it.  So we're hiring people to come by and do it for us.

I once filled out a Best Buy application that took about 6 months.  ;D

I only wanted to work there for about a week so I could take advantage of the staff policy regarding large purchases. You can buy things at 10% over the stock price. Meaning you can buy stuff at half price.. and when you wanna get a TV that's a good deal.  ;D

How can you get stuck filling out a job application?  It's been a while since I've had to fill one out, but they're pretty straightforward. 


I just don't get what you're paying this guy money for.  He's taking more time than necessary to do things you can do on your own in a very short period of time.

but Howard, that would be fine and excellent IF he was actually doing something productive for you. What the heck...I mean, I could help you fill it out while you are online the same time as me...and I guarantee you, it would only take about 30 minutes TOPS to do so.  He's been supposedly "helping" you find jobs for how long now....and he has yet found you anything but the Au Bon Pain job...nothing more than that?  You need to seriously let him know that if he doesn't help you fill it out the very next time you go see him, that you will either do it on your own, or find someone else to help you. By the way, if you are spending 2 hours with him....he should be helping you fill out about 5 different applications to 5 different places within that given time!! ::)

Well,I want him to help me with my job history since I don't have much of one and my last paying job was in 1994 and hadn't had a job in 12 years,after that I attended so many programs to get me back in the workforce and I held ABP for 9 months.I'll let you know what happens.

I understand what you're saying Erin.The reason I like Mr.Randolph is because he has connections with places He's familiar with and he has clients employed at Babies R Us,Baby Gap and Target plus the employers know him.This application he wants to help me with has been dragging out for 2 weeks now.Sometimes I wonder why an hour goes by so quickly with him.I come to see him every Wednesday and hopefully something will get done,I guarantee you!
