Good. Good good good. I honestly think you should contact a headhunter and let them do the search for you. You have tons of great experience that I think could be applied to a variety of jobs. Keep me posted and feel free to email me if you want to rant. I know that bad job pain.

I tried to leave you a note but diaryland said NO. There is a note for you at pagenotfound.com. Anyway, do not be jealous of my trip, as I just got my credit card bill and it was terrifying. A pound is NOT a dollar, my friends. FYI. Glad you're alive!

Aw girl, you know I'm happy you're back! I even gave you a shout out (okay, I gave your favorite jeans a shout out) a few entries back. Also, as a fellow southerner, I am WITH YOU on the cold. Bring on summer!

House fever! You may join the club of annoying people who talk about moulding and grout! The stress is GREAT, isn't it? And, really, you don't even miss the money you used to spend on luxuries like EATING and leaving your house to go OTHER PLACES. It is so very FUN. I'm sorry you were sick, but I'm glad you're feeling better. Want some Seven jeans. Want.

You don't need to apologize for something so touching and honest. It was very helpful for me to read in trying to understand what you and so many New Yorkers went through and are still going through. Enjoy that beer on the porch, girlie.

I wasn't sure if that was someone else writing or...Poor Mayapple, thinking of you at this difficult time. It was hard enough to watch from a distance, I can't imagine actually being there. My friend at work is from Kosovo, and she too experienced being around death, after being evacuated and her house getting burnt to the ground. I don't know how people persever, but somehow they take it one day at a time and realize that we have no control over these things, and hope that time will help us heal somehow.

That was intense reading. I'm glad you did what you had to do. I often felt that way, as though leaving 'the city' (in my case London obviously) was admitting defeat. I can't even imagine witnessing something so horrific.

Damn. I'm sorry you had to go through that and I'm glad you went home. That was an amazingly powerful entry and I hope writing about it helps. Don't view leaving NY as giving up, view it as self-preservation. Yhere's no shame in doing what you have to in order to take care of yourself, okay?

Wow. I'm a little over an hour from the city and my DH was driving in to it that awful morning. He saw much of what you've described and he struggles with it often. I spent that day on the phone trying to reach friends but it became more real when DH finally made it home. He smelled like smoke and burnt whatever.

Ooh, I bought one for my boyfriend one morning, not realizing exactly what the Mc Griddle was. Then I was like "Oh, okay." Then he wasn't hungry so I ate it and...it...was...so yummy. Just what you need after a crummy night shift at work.
|
| from
emiloo : |

Alright, dammit, I'll admit it: I have eaten a McGriddle. Or six. The bacon, egg, and cheese ones. I know, I know, so nasty. But it WAS really good. It seems like it would be great hangover food.

I was really impressed with your honesty in your entry. My own college friends are starting to drive me crazy, too, and now that I'm back at home, I feel much more myself, even though I do feel more lonely. But I wonder if being truly alone is better than being alone in a crowd...I'll have to work on that, I guess. Keep posting, and check my diary out if you like.

My profile is in Dutch, so is my diary... In my profile I wrote about you that you seem very nice and funny. By 'you' I actually mean your diary. I enjoy reading it. I'm thinking about starting to write in english. I like the language very much, but for it's much harder to express my feelings in English then in Dutch, you see? Well, I'll let you know :)

I'm sorry to hear about your family troubles. I too know what it's like to have a family that seems to have let one down at times. After a lot of depression, I came to the conclusion that you can only worry about things that you have control over. Maybe when your mom invited you on such short notice, you should have said you couldn't make it, and let your mom tell them that she called you three hours before expecting you to be able to make it. Just remember, you have to put yourself first sometimes.
Also, I just had to write because to quote your diary, about the employee who can't spell, you said that she spells "scary" as "scarry".
"Every. Time. There are other, worse examples but I can't think of them right now because aparently I didn't eat brain food for lunch."
If you're going to criticize, you should check your spelling of "apparently". P.S. I think your kitty and doggie are the cutest.

Sweetie, I am thinking about you. Families can really suck sometimes, as mine is doing now, too. I'm glad you're smart enough to realize that you can have a life apart from your family. I'm about to have to do that too (my dad is a crazy asshole who is making me and my husband miserable for no reason, but I digress). You should be very proud of the life you've made for yourself. You're cool.
