So I'm still waiting.
It's been a week and a half (also 10.5 lbs less than when I left for my trip, wtf?) since i had my interview.
I'm expecting to wait at least another month or so to hear something. After waiting so long, though, I'm not expecting to hear shit. I'm expecting to be laid off from my job in approximately 4 weeks, then I expect to stay on unemployment as long as possible. Maybe hit up MHT and BOS a few times. Hell, if everyone else can claim "economic hardship" on their student loans, why the F can't I?!??!?! I'd rather unload my student loans than my sweet-ass 36mpg car :) it's a total man-magnet. and when I say man-magnet I mean it attracts 50 year old men who are too cheap to pay for a car that gets gas mileage below 25 mpg. :-p

I went to Kansas City and all I got was this lousy job!
That post RIGHT down there entitled "Well Then"??
I 100% do not remember writing it.
I'm friggin losing it. Seriously. But it's all true, so at least in my alzheimer's moment, I was telling the truth.

well then
I just got back from KansASS city, Missouri (or as some people call it, and i agree, Misery) and I'm happy to report I have a furreal tentative offer letter for Indianapolis Tower.
I had a kind of long 3 days out there, but it was well worth it. I mean how could I NOT be totally stoked about a job offer AND a new friend??? I mean I can't even make friends here, so it's remarkable that I go into another time zone and make a friend.
blargh. The only thing that sucked was KansASS city itself. Despite having a great new downtown place, the Power and Light District, it was like a ghost town. I mean I went in the bar with my friend at maybe 11 and it was just the two of us. Really friggin weird, since it's a "city" and all.
well, whatever. It's over and I am GLAD.

fleaviltons
What is a fleavilton? Fuck if I know. Just another phrase in the word parade that comes out of M@s mouth every day.
Other words?
Well, we have Dougal-Fresh, Avery Mayzees, Foxy Flowmima, Guydalene, Lou-la-belle
If you don't know me personally, you may suspect that M@ is my child. However, he is 28 years old, holds a full-time job and owns a house.
Makes you wonder.

meteorologist!
I'm sitting at work drinking coffee and eating biscotti.
You may wonder WHY I would leave a job where I could blog, drink and eat at my desk without fear of corporal punishment (well, sometimes there is a fear) for one where seemingly everyone hates their jobs, blah blah blah...
Well, I'm not a big fan of my job.
1. It's way too easy. I've been doing the same thing (in10 different permutations) for a year. I could write a process evaluation report in my sleep. And yet doing an excellent job on each report, they refuse to give me any new challenges. I've asked several times, hopeful for some mind blowing task that I'd have no clue how to do, but nope. nothing.
2. I've been a TEMP for 2 years. That means no health insurance, no dental insurance, and a whopping 75 cent raise over the past 2 years.
3. The people I work with are sexist dicks. Well, that's a generalization. Most of them aren't bad, but the few who are bad make up for everyone else. Just because I am a girl does not mean I do not know how to DO SIMPLE MATH OPERATIONS ON A CALCULATOR. ugh.
4. 45 minute commute to get here. Well, there's not a whole lot I can do about that.
5. Production areas. GMP clothing regulations suck, and you can't chew gum either. PASS.
6. Not using my degree. It cost me $80,000 to get a degree in meteorology/math-ology and I'm not even using it. It's not like I haven't applied a MILLION places and not like I didnt have an excellent GPA and a sweet internship and not like I didn't win an award for being an exemplary graduate of the prestigious Lyndon State College. I even tried to join the military, but they didn't want me. ugh.
So, bring on the federal job. The benefits are GREAT compared to what I have now!!! And I might even get to use some of my weather knowledge.
