'Cause I get in it like a car and drive

[judecorp]

I am a non-stop errand-running MACHINE! Ph34r M3!

I went to the Health Department to get a TB test for my new job (I will save the rant about children, and how parents talk to their children.). And on the way back, I stopped at the bank, and then the post office to mail some half.com stuff. And then I met my Jennifer for lunch at Subway (I'd been really craving Subway ever since Missy brought it over the other day), and on the way home, I stopped at Target and Staples to pick up some things we needed. I still need to pick up The Girl's prescription from CVS, and then I'm headed out to see Whale Rider with Jean (sorry, Sean!), and then I'm going to come home and go carshopping with Ms. Jennifer Jean.

It looks like my current financial situation is not as dire as I thought it was. I'm happy for that. I guess I'd managed to save more money before I got laid off than I thought. If Jennifer ends up finding an affordable car, this will definitely be a Shoot, Score, Bobby Orr! kind of day. I'm somewhat ambivalent about her need to buy a new car, but I suppose that's why I'm going along. Yep, that's me - Impulse Control Boy!

THIS (link from spacecadetjen) looks like it's going to be a totally amazingly fun thing. I want to make a square with My Best Girl! *bats eyelashes* What a neat idea.

On a side note, it seems I can't even apply for a job without getting called for an interview. This is totally screwing with my unemployment. Since I have to apply for one job per week for unemployment, I'm trying to only apply for jobs that I won't get called for. AND I AM STILL GETTING CALLED! Sheesh, I just got a call for a Substance Abuse Counselor position, the ad for which said it required a CCDC (which I don't have) certification. And they still called me. So I haven't been calling these places back, since, well, I'm not allowed to "turn down work" and collect unemployment. Argh! I'm just TOO GOOD.

Yeah, you kept my impulses in check with my car. Heehee. ;) Btw, it really does sound like this car is just beyond help at this point, I'd do the same.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I agree, if only because she's so damned uneasy about the car at this point and it would really just be a source of stress. But I guess I would do things differently, if it were me, because my solution is never just "buy a new one."

*shrug*

[doulamel.livejournal.com]

See that's always my solution. ;) Especially after the Metro fiasco. Sometimes it's best to just suck it up and cut your losses than to keep sinking money in the unfixable.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay, you're right. =P

[murnkay.livejournal.com]

I tried to call the house btw. You musta been erranding.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

POOP! Yes, I've been gone all darned day.

(Tomorrow?)

[murnkay.livejournal.com]

Name a time

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Are you sleeping in? 10am if you're not. If you are... 5pm!

[murnkay.livejournal.com]

I do not plan to sleep in! 10am it is unless I can't move LOL

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I'll cross my fingers, Monkeymine!

[mayna.livejournal.com]

Obviously you're applying to the wrong jobs. Apply to some senior systems administrator and CEO jobs and I guarantee they won't call you. :-)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha, true. But don't I have to apply for jobs in my field?

(Are there THAT few qualified social workers right now? Sheesh!!)

[mayna.livejournal.com]

Nope you don't HAVE to. They just say "jobs" I believe!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Hrm. I'll have to look into that. What a great concept!

[sudrin.livejournal.com]

I can't believe you typed "Ph34r M3!". The day you talk l33t is the day I must have stepped into a parallel universe!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I LOVE SCI-FI.

[sudrin.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA.. Its made even sweeter that you chose the "Don't Panic" creature from "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

See? I am SO C00L!

[sudrin.livejournal.com]

Yes, you are.. I never doubted it for more than a minute.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

:D

[chutup.livejournal.com]

down with big brother.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

YOUR MOM

[vorpalbla.livejournal.com]

It's easy to interview for jobs, and yet make sure you don't get them!

Don't you remember that scene from Trainspotting?

Is Jen buying a new new car, or a new used car?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I'm currently solving the problem by not getting around to returning the calls. That way, I'm not /technically/ doing anything wrong, right?

She's currently looking at 2003s. Specifically, the 2003 Hyundai Accent 3door and the 2003 Kia Rio Cinco.

[vorpalbla.livejournal.com]

My friend Adam has an 03 Hyundai Accent. He likes it. It has better accel. than one might expect.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the info! We're actually leaning more towards the Kia at this point, because it's roomier and nicer, but we'll see what happens on Wednesday!

[carina-s.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh- my chances of having you babysit grow slimmer by the minute! How's Wednesday?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I have to go car shopping with Jen now, because she needs a car STAT.

I'm sorry, I suck. :( Thursday?

[carina-s.livejournal.com]

You don't suck! Thursday would be great!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Okay - we'll plan for Thursday then. What time, Mommy?

[carina-s.livejournal.com]

6:30?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Okay. :)

[kieron.livejournal.com]

Hey...so I remember you mentioning the street art thing and I totally didn't see this post but I see it now and YES we should do it....do you want to register or do you want me to?

We can talk about it:)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I think you should. Because. :)

[kieron.livejournal.com]

What size area do you want to do.....do you wanna see if anyone else wants to do it with us or just be a you and me thing?:)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You and me, hot stuff.

Now, if some other people want to do one as a group, I wouldn't be opposed to doing that too, but I was kind of thinking as a you and me thing.

Size doesn't matter to me. :)

[kieron.livejournal.com]

Heh...OKiedokie...:)

I will take care of it...probably print it out and fill it out tonight...
