Interview, bitching, etc.

I had a job interview yesterday for a graphic design position at a company that distributes goods and services mainly for electrical, industrial, and safety industries. It was setup by a temp agency and that’s what I’d be. A temp. Plus, the lady that was interviewing me seemed to have the impression that I’m over-qualified for the job, hopefully I mentioned that I’m very interested in the position enough times. I would like the job I think, and $13.50/hr + benefits is a lot more than I’m making right now… something is better than nothing!

I hate feeling like I don’t fit in. I’m not talking about trying to win a popularity contest, just a sense of belonging somewhere. Maybe I’m being a bit overly dramatic. Not having a job so far this year has been weird. I’m used to being a part of something whether I despise it or not.  I’m also used to having some friends to hang out with. I have my boyfriend but I think he gets tired of me sometimes.

I also can’t seem to lose weight. I watch what I eat, I try to work out pretty regularly and then I end up slipping up on a meal or two and everything goes to hell. I look in the mirror and I see flabby thighs and a jiggly belly. And the Wii Fit tells me I’m overweight, the bastard! I’ve never been skinny but I’ve been thinner (and fatter too, for that matter). I’m going to a friend’s wedding at the beginning of June and want to be able to wear a dress that I have currently but it would look a lot better if I could drop 10-15 lbs. 45 days until the date.

Sock Monkey Painting...


The Sock Monkey painting is done finally. I used a foam sheet for the thought bubble and used Sharpie for the black and painted the light areas with white. The rest is acrylic paint on canvas with real buttons sewed on. He has a dirty mouth, he needs Orbitz!!

Superhero painting progress...


Batman and Superman are mostly done, they'll need a little touching up here and there still. Spiderman is next...
