Week in review
Mar. 30th, 2009 10:26 amIt's been a week, and a weekend. OMG.
* Interview for Job A-I've basically got it, except that they're insisting I fill out an online tax form that has broken scripting, and have yet to my eml saying so.
* Interview for Job B which I would really, really prefer, but I honestly can't tell how I did at the interview and won't know until late this week.
* Day at Maymont and it was windy and a little cold and there were OMFG children everywhere. Wednesday must be school field trip day. But the horses were happy to see us, and they rebuilt the raptor area so that was cool. The bears were even out and active.
* Cops knocked on the door to tell us they were checking up on the next door neighbor and were we aware he has a sexual assault and battery charge against him?
* Midnight coffee at Denny's with Matt... OMG. It was only us gamer freaks and the wannabe goths that did that, when I was in HS/college, now it's everyone that age and it was packed and I felt like one of the older people in the place.
* Last show at Comedy Alley. Ever. *sniffle* I remember when I first moved out here the place was just opening, and I remember being last minute recruited into being Box-Office Rey, and it was good to see my posters for their musical shows on the wall, and damn it was good to see so many of the old familiar faces and from the way they squealed and ran at us and hugged they were glad to see us too. I'm wary about hugs but these were old pals. But damn. It's so unfair. The economy just kills these small businesses. I didn't cry, but I saw some people who came close.
* Went to the service at the UU church of Job B, and it was... really interesting. There were hymns and there was a quote from the Talmud at the closing, and a lot of stuff about community work and human rights and the U.N., no real mention of god or gods. There was a thing where people came up and lit candles and said what they were thinking about this morning, good or bad. It was mostly depressing, that part. Lots of lost jobs and sick relatives and one guy who felt bad because he owns a business and had to lay two people off and was worried about them. Afterwards we hung around and met the reverend and other people, and I didn't feel the terror of pretending to be some nice Christian 'roommate'. The reverend told us there were a couple of lesbian couples in the congregation who'd been together a really long time, and I pointed out we've been together eight or nine years. Yes I fail at anniversaries.
* Went to Bridgie's parent's and had her dad help me divide up my monster houseplant, Audrey II so now there's an Audrey III and IV and at least one of them is going to Bridgie's aunt. Her dad had unearthed all these old slides because his brothers are doing the same and they're converting them to digital photos, but we pulled out trays and did a slide show. Lots of pictures of six year old Bridgie, and her dad from his college years looking goofy. It was silly but I liked it.
Dunno what this week will be like. I don't know how fast Job A responds on training appointments, or exactly when Job B will have news for me. Today? I'm gonna go enjoy the weather. I'll try to send some northwards...
