Considering moving in with my grandmother. Why does this make me happy? It's my first big decision as an adult. Yay for responsibility!

Going to be driving out and handing out resumes today with my new car. I actually feel a wee bit nervous gotta say.

PROTIP: Don't try to drive and hand out resumes at the same time. Stop the car first, then hand out resumes. Safety First!

But I have this special gun that only shoots resumes at people! This expedites my job search a thousandfold.

Speaking of safety, remeber in case of a mass pedestrian infestation:

I thought you had your resume embossed in reverse on the front so impact marks leave the resume embedded in whatever, and whoever you run into.

I could do that as well, but I think the only resume I could emboss that people would care about is:

My tentacle&treasure game is going to be an .exe, woo!

Also: I still have easter chocolates aplenty, woo!

If you developed a method of firing paper flat against wind resistance with enough force to emboss itself in people's flesh, I think I'd hire you anyway

[RedKing]

It's a type of origami with a spring-loaded structure that explosively opens just before impact. Also, his name is signed with a superheated vanadium-steel template. So it's not so much emboss as "brand". He heard about pushing his "brand identity", and well...results happened.

I just eloquently cussed out and called on the carpet an attorney who offered a new law school grad $28,000/year salary with no benefits to be a full time attorney, paying for his own malpractice insurance. Grad, of course, did not and could not accept. Made attorney feel lower than whale shit, which is an insult to whale shit everywhere.

I hate people and it was wonderful to get one of them who (especially) deserves it. Also I think the new grad might have gotten something out of it as well but I don't care. I hate this attorney. I do. Every time he talks I just want to chip a little piece off one of his teeth for each word he speaks, solely to cause him pain. I routinely tell him to go crawl in a hole and die, publicly, and I mean it. (I don't care if this is "a horrible thing to do" and never will under any circumstances give a shit), $28,000/year for a lawyer, fuck... you. Your being cheap is killing the profession and don't think that structural instability is something you personally won't have to deal with sooner or later.

....My my, whatever would those uptown clients of yours say if they found out this is what their tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees go towards? Is that a new tie? It doesn't cover up the ugly, because it's inside you....

Edit: It appears boss heard of this and thought it was awesome!

Edit 2: Got email from grad thanking me for "saying what [she] couldn't." She'll be shadowing me and learning the trade for a bit. Somebody's gotta teach it. God knows the law schools suck ass at it.

The roommate isn't home, and it's warm enough that I don't have to wear clothes.

That is all.

[Lucus Casius]

I have been awarded scholarships totaling $73,000 by the University of Minnesota!

I am quite pleased about this.

Edit:  Truean, I have to say, that's amazing.  You are a credit to your profession.

Congrats!

I got back from beating the pavement for a job. I got to know Saginaw's downtown district just a little bit better, getting to go into buildings I've only ever seen from the outside.

Also, I've found out that about half or more of the buildings are closed or rundown. This was probably my first time just going from place to place to talk face to face and try to sell myself. I was really nervous about it and only dropped about three resumes, and even then I think I could've done better.

Going to try for a different part of town next time, maybe coast into Bay City for a bit.

Made of star guts

Yes, it's a well known fact and all, but it's always nice and reassuring to hear it spoken in such nice words by someone who knows how to use them, you know, it's like knowing you're awesome but you still feel amazing when someone points out you're awesome.


BAY12!!
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!

I have decided on a college. Interestingly, it's Michigan Tech, the school I had no intention of going to when I applied.

It's nice, there's a ski hill ~15 minutes away (would be closer if you didn't need to drive 5 minutes up the road, take the bridge over the river-like lake, and drive 5 minutes back down the road) with a 440 foot vertical (pretty good for a Midwest ski hill) to which we get free access. The ski season is not going to listen to the excuse of a lack of snow; the lowest amount of snow since 1890 was a respectable 81-ish inches in the winter of 1930-31.

Oh, and it's got good classes and opportunities and all that.
