never make the same mistake twice
not sure if this is possible...

however, interviewing and searching for a job has made me take a detailed look at who I am and what I have done right and wrong.

i was such an idiot in my early 20s, and i messed up my credit. these mistakes prevented me from receiving a kind of sweet job offer. so, after doing my research and having interviewed for several jobs in the past few weeks... I am a pro. I look up what the company policies are on credit checks, and I put it out there before it shows up and makes it look like I am hiding something.

I pay all my bills on time now, and have even started to settle old debts. I will not be making those foolish mistakes again. I nailed an interview yesterday for what could be a great job with huge amounts of upward mobility. I just decided to call HR today and speak with the woman who I interviewed with. It turns out they don't do credit checks and I am in the clear for my interview tomorrow! I am really proud of myself for being proactive and honest about the situation, if anything it makes me look like a straightforward and humble person.

In the past I would have let this get me down, but I am determined to be successful in life. The hard part of being successful is really trying to not make the same mistake twice... I'm getting better a this one.

Cheers to a job offer soonsies! :)

Sometimes you get less of what you want... It just means you have to believe in yourself more. :)

October
This is the month I turn 30, start my career, and sell myself out to the corporate world.

I feel like I need some good and original ideas to start my own business in the next 10 yrs... Because, if I'm not following my dreams, I'm just signing up to help someone else achieve theirs.

I gave up most dairy and gluten... For health reasons. I quit smoking, and I barely drink. This sounds so boring, but it makes going to the gym everyday so much easier.

I have a ton of interviews coming up, and I feel much better now... For a whole it felt like applying for job after job was a waste of time. Life is strange how things seem quite and then suddenly pick up.

I still want to move to LA but might have to hold off for a while unless I get a decent job there.

I was freaking out until I realized that I actually look and feel better and healthier at 30 than I did at 20. I also have a smarter and more conscious head on my shoulders than ever before. I actually think before acting, and I'm more focused on what's best for me.

This sounds so lame. I can promise an amazing Halloween party with my most fit self ever. I goes hard in that gym daily! Going on a hiking adventure Sunday, will post pics.

I just looked at my messages and apparently someone loves me... Who are theez random readers?!!! Maybe I should just forget all the crap and go for famous...

Apparently that is my new plan... Fuck bitches, get money.

I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don't care about clever I don't care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them

And I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless

ATM
I drove through and made a deposit and went to the grocery store and realized before I got out of the car.... That I had left my card in the machine.

It was still in the machine when I drove back...

Benefits of living in a sleepy town, and being the most absentminded ever.

Taxidermy lovers dream
I just interviewed with this lady whose husband is a game hunter... She wants some cleaning help. I may consider it if the money is right.

Among the animals her husband has hunted and displayed in their home:

Giraffe
Hippopotamus
Lion
Several different kinds of deer and mammals with antlers
Grizzly
Bear
Javelina
Zebra

I'm sure I forgot some others but there were so many...

... On second hand... Do I refuse the job based on principal? I don't like endangered animals being killed just for fun... It seems like a disturbing hobby.

Sounds like a set up for the most dangerous game, watch out
lilho - 09/19/13 00:53
I can't go back there... Too scary.

And be sure to observe them carefully while asking what (who) they used as a bait for that Grizzly.
libertad - 09/16/13 15:26
Hmmmm. Makes me wonder what happened to their last housekeeper?
tinypliny - 09/16/13 15:15
I would take it if it were based on a principal amount of $$$. ;-)
