Return of the Boxen
Aug. 23rd, 2004 04:06 pmOnce again, I am reaching the point where 1) I want things, but they are in boxen, or 2) I want to pack something, but know I will need it in two days. Frustrating.
But progress is being made! Took a load of old videos and CDs to HalfPrice Books today, and got $25 for them - better than I was expecting. Took a load of stuff to the goodwill. Told myself not to be a packrat and left unneeded cheap paper furniture by the dumpster for the divers to snag. Apartment is a little emptier. Yay!
Attempted to vacuum what there is of the visible floor, as it is filthy. It was sort of an exercise in comedy, because while there are bits of floor exposed that haven't seen the light of day in two years, there are boxes EVERYWHERE ELSE. Cats were very unhappy with vacuum, as usual. I am unsympathetic... in fact, I consider it revenge. They found the SQUEAKY BOXES last night and kept me awake till 5 AM, tromping around on them.
Sent in a few more job applications this morning - mostly internships, actually: One in the Bay Area, and one in Hawaii. Hey, I'd rather have a permanent job... but experience is good, and I still haven't gotten any phone calls from my other applications.
Followed up on my Alaska application: They've got all my materials and remembered the transcripts coming through even before checking up on them for me, which I reckon is a good sign.
Texas has finally realized it's August. It's frickin' hot.
Still not king.
