It's strange, we are just coming to the end of week three in 2007 and it feels more like the end of month three. Slow year?
I'm sure there are a pinch of y'all are wondering how the current graduate is doing. One word can sum it up for y'all: eh. (Though, is that even a "word"?) I've been peeping my head in, here and there, with the beginning of the new year, mainly looking around for where a recent graphic design graduate with interests in the publishing field, could get a job around N'awlins. I decided to take a hiatus from the peeking after I applied for what I consider my dream job [in the New Orleans vicinity].
Gambit Weekly. Yep. You N'awlins folk heard me right. The Gambit. It's a great free publication down here that has great articles and excellent designers. Info for all kinds of going-ons in the city can be found in it. If y'all are familiar with the New York City's Village Voice publication, well, it's sorta like that.
I was called in for what was going to be "round one" in this little game. The first round consisted of me filing out an application and meeting with a quite friendly lady who "ooh-ed" and "ahh-ed" over my portfolio. And that was it. She told me that in about two weeks from that meeting I would here back from them on either my continuation to round two or if they were just happy to see me.
It didn't take no two weeks!
Only two days ago I heard back from them!
Only two days ago I learned that they were just happy to see me!
I really would have preferred to receive a call in for round two, but what's a graphic designer who's in need of a job gonna do? While no ill-bearings were held by me, my poor Satcey was extremely distressed and I only wished I could have been there to comfort here. BIG HUGS GAL!!
I am disappointed. I really really wanted to work there. And most importantly, I didn't want to continue looking for a job! Which, in my opinion, is the worst part about getting a new job: looking.

iTunes Meme
Tagged from Mr. Dave. But here's what you do: Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING.
This has the intent to be quite interesting...
How does the world see you? "Breakaway" Kelly Clarkson
Will I have a happy life? "Smooth Criminal" Alien Antfarm
ROTFL!!
What do my friends really think of me? "Paranoia" Linkin Park
LOL Is their something y'all not telling me?
Do people secretly lust after me? "Rusty Cage" Soundgarden
How can I make myself happy? "Spiderwebs" No Doubt
What should I do with my life? "Auf Achse" Franz Ferdinand

Huh? Is this a advice for that possibilty?
What is some good advice for me? "Let the Joy Rise" Abigail
Hehe...if it was only that easy
How will I be remembered? "Too Much" Dave Matthews Band
What is my signature dancing song? "Fake Plastic Trees"
Not much of a dance song but what do I know?

What song will play at my funeral? "Tonight, Tonight" Smashing Pumpkins
This is perfect pick, iTunes. I would definitely have picked this song myself. How can't it be when the first lines are "Time is never time at all. You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth"

WEll, I didn't need to take the test to show me what I already knew. What a waste of 10 seconds...
CENTRISTS espouse a "middle ground" regarding government
control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on
the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention
and sometimes support individual freedom of choice.
Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind,
tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what
they describe as "practical" solutions to problems.

Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 40%.
(Please note: Scores falling on the Centrist border are counted as Centrist.)
