I think that the evil hag who lives in Concord (read: the recently very bitchy parental unit) has finally rubbed off on me a little bit. I spent about 2 hours the other day working on my resume and typing out a new cover letter to send out with the resume…
This was one of the things that over the summer caused me to almost move away from the house temporarily. She started telling me about how I was lazy and needed to start thinking about applying to jobs and sending out my resume to different companies. Fucking bitch it’s the middle of July. No one will take me seriously if I start sending it out now. {bitch}
Fast forward to now. There were two companies/places/agencies that I just applied to and both require a government security clearance. I was figuring that since they had a December deadline for applications to be submitted by I would give them an early one just so they could send out an acceptance letter to me (saving them and myself a lot of anguish in the long run).
Other trivia that’s going on: My fucking department chair is refusing to let a professor give me a GA ship (read like 13k to 14k of funding. That’s tuition and a 1300 stipend each month). Instead he is forcing the professor to give it to some foreign student who can’t speak English and doesn’t know the material. The only reason he gets it is that he (I’m assuming it’s a he, but come on its engineering) is that he had a 3.5 GPA. Fucking prick. I could have a 3.5 GPA if I didn’t decide to do things like take 2nd year masters level courses when I was a junior.
Searching for new shoes. The one decent pair I have is giving me blisters so I’m needing to go searching for a new pair. I’m leaning heavily towards Camper, which is a Spanish company. I’m going to need to drive back to Boston (again) to go to their store though.
