The Good, The Bad, and The Completely Uncalled For

Posted on by

Such was my day:

  • The Good: The Heisey Glass Museum hired me as a clerk today. I interviewed with them on Monday afternoon and I thought I might have a shot when the director asked if I wanted a tour of the museum so he could show me where things were. I start on Tuesday, September 9th. It’s only 20 hours a week and they were apologizing to me because the pay is only $6.25/hour; but duuuuuude… it’s a job! The other wonderful thing: the fact that I have web skills compensated for the fact that I don’t have tons of experience with Access.
  • The Bad: I have wicked PMS (bad abdominal pain, dizziness, and nausea) and a wicked migraine (light hurts, loud noises hurt, and smells make me doubly nauseous). I owe my migraine to the fact that we have some BIG storm systems rolling through, which have prevented me from seeing Mars most nights this week.
  • The Completely Uncalled For: The Pop Tarts Kissing on the VMA Last Night — it was distasteful and an affront to the confidence put in them by the teen girls who actually idolize Brit and X-tina. Enough said. (Note: I’m not protesting because I’m anti-lesbian. I’m anti-excessive PDA of all kinds.)
