jobs, speeding tickets, random thoughts

About a month ago I got my third ticket in 2 years. It was a cell phone ticket. I have got to get rid of my yellow car. I will admit to talking on my cell phone when I am driving and I know its illegal but there has got to be something better going on than to pull over the broke grad student in the yellow bug. I was at an intersection where no one was moving on Sheridan dr. I decided there was no point in getting angry about it and that I would just go to court to defend it.
So I went to court last night and let me just say always go to traffic court. It's really not fun, there are hundreds of people there, you can barely move, and most of your evening will be spent waiting around. My cell phone ticket got turned into a parking ticket. The town prosecutor noticed that my address was Ashland Ave and he wanted to chat about the neighborhood. He was so friendly. I am sure he has bigger fish to fry than girls yapping on their cell phones.
By no means am I suggesting that you speed or do illegal things in your car, however, we all get tickets sometimes. Make sure you defend yourself.

So I am still jobless and I have been for about a month now. I have been checking out boxes for my new home. I had been spending a lot of time looking for apartments in Allentown since I've spent the last few years on Elmwood, but you kind of need a job for a new place. I decided to take my Masters degree off my resume. I have an undergrad in Communications which gets overlooked. If anyone reading this knows any companies that I should apply at please let me know. I think I might just wait tables for awhile until something comes along.
It's pretty depressing to work so hard for your masters degree to have to take it off. I have had a few companies tell me they didn't want to hire me because I was overqualified and it didn't seem like I would want to grow with them. Its hard to convince an insurance company that you just finished your masters in sport administration but you really want to sell car insurance. SIGH. I might have to suck it up and leave Buffalo. I just really would prefer not to.

excitement

I can't believe how happy I am that I found this site. I have been meaning to find a new blog site for a long time. I don't like using myspace because everyone can your blog unless you set your profile to private. For some reason I have always been really good at attracting weird people whom I have no interest in. Im not sure if ita a redhead thing or if maybe Im too nice and I seem more approachable that i want to be. I feel like this is a great way to get going on my writing without having to worry so much about what creepos around the world are reading it.

I have been absolutely nothing but lazy today. Honestly though I feel as though I deserve it. I have been shot down for job after job in the last few weeks and Im starting to lose my mind. I didn't go back to school to get another degree for this kind of treatment. Ugh. Well anyway, I just wanted to post my first blog. This one wasnt very interesting but Im very excited about writing more. Im sure Ill be back on here by the end of the day!
