OrientedDis.. Disoriented. |
Wednesday, March 20, 2002 ..as Lex worded it so greatly.. *grin* "blogger must be fucked up" *cough* ahem, you didn't hear those words from me though.. hehe.. but.. anyway, today is my supposed-lucky-day now, considering blogger wouldn't let me post anything all day yesterday. --- yesterday: Heh.. yes,03/20/2002.. a day worth looking for meaningful “things”. My lucky number being2, and these days never fail to present me with some surprise. 03/22/2002should be better. Last time.. 03/02/2002.. I believe I was notified of thenational target scholarship that I won. At around 4:30 p.m. though (today), itmust have changed to 03/20/2002 in some other part of the world, because Ireceived wonderful news. My mother has been bugging me to get another job for as longas I can remember now, but I just figured I would find another job when Godpresents one to me, and he’s never let me down by giving me nothing but thegreatest of opportunities and rewards. *cough* anyway ..I was working on finishing up the final touches on thisother website I’ve been working on for a big department.. heh.. and this guywalks in behind me looking for another lady who sometimes works in my officearea. He kind of lingers in my office area and then asks “what are you doing?” --me: “Finishing up this website for the department here..” --him: “Oh really?! Can you do a website for ___?? We werejust about to call up a guy in Phoenix and ask him if he’d like a part-timeposition doing it for us, but I’d rather hire you since you’re right here andeverything..” –me: “Oh, yeah? That would be great! I’ve been looking foranother part-time job anyway..” –him: “Great! When can you start? We’ve been meaning to getgoing on this right away.. I’ll talk to ___ about it and let her know that youcan do this for us… contact me sometime this week in my office so we can make acontract and figure out a rate (i.e. $$/hr...).” --me: “ok.. thanks..::kind of baffled by what justhappened::” looks like I’ve got another job in web design. Heck.. maybeI’ll start my own web designing co. even though I currently am not thatwonderful at web design, hehe, but I can get better! .. andI guess I’m just working on creating a portfolio for myself now.. nice. The jobhe is offering seems much more stable too, and possibly more money per hr..because I think I will get to make the rate which I think is fair.. heh.. theirbudget is not nearly as tight as the department’s that I’m currently workingfor. Yay. However – I haven’t told my mom about the offer yet.. I’m not sure why.. actually, I plan to work both jobs without informingher of this second job I’ve taken.. I wonder how long I can get away with that?I’m sick and tired of her breathing down my back about money though.. heh..I’ll let her know when the timing seems right, but it’s pretty hard to containthe news considering she’s the one that has been advocating that I get a 2nd job. I have not forgot my New Year’s Resolutions. Although thecooking resolution has pretty-much gone down the tubes.. my resolution to readmore is back.. uuh.. yeah. I currently started reading: TheFountainhead by Ayn Rand.. it’s.. interesting? I don’t know.. Iguess, honestly, I start to fall asleep when she goes off into endless detailabout architecture/structures.. but then, that’s a big part of the story -architecture. I feel like Peter Keating (at least the first couple chapterswhich is all I’ve read).. God how I wish I didn’t.. I wish I were Roark..setting out to pursue my passions with total disregard to the path society laysin front… but maybe I am. No, I am Peter, sadly. FRICK. Blogger hates me and won’t let me post.. thiswill be posted on my lucky day.. argh.. forget the “twohours before” idea.. no.. blogger hates me on this lucky..lucky day.. *smirk* Mat contacted me today.. I’m already feeling luckier *wink*.. nah, it’s just good to see he’s keeping in touch.. despite him greeting mewith a hideous math problem to solve.. but it was solved.. agreed upon, rather,for the answer. Oh, yes today was kind of interesting,actually. Besides getting the job offer.. I was walking out of 1st hr., gettingready to go home, when I was greeted by my good friend who I recently wroteabout in another post at my otherblog. Heh, I guess he was ditching class yet again.. Tsk.. And so wemet on the way out and just hung out 2nd period to about lunch. We drove acrosstown, found out the place he wanted to go to was closed (it openedin about half an hr.), but we didn’t want to wait for it to open.. Instead wewent out to eat with the money. Then he just parked the car and we chattedabout stuff while we ate… he’s head-over-heels for this other girl.. It’sreally cute.. He’s just the greatest guy, and I’m reallyhappy that he’s found this girl because I know how important it *was* to himto find her.. He deserves her, though I’m not sure she deserves him. ;)heehee.. I just don’t know her very well because she goes to another school,but I’m sure he has good taste in girls :Þ hey he asked me out.. out of allgirls! *wink* kidding completely of course, I mean, we did go “out” on a “date”(so-he-called-it), heh, but I don’t –really- see myself above anyone else likethat (of course there is a certain amount of pride one must have, but, I wouldsay I’m conscious to make sure that most of it doesn’t go to my head..).. heh..anyway.. that’s about all. . . . babbled Lin |
