I have a phone interview in less than an hour for a job I'm excited about and I'm also waiting to hear back from another job I'm even more excited about!
I'm nervous and jittery! Please wish me luck on the employment front, Jezzies!
@Penny: I would go with the debt management plan, particularly since it doesn't harm your credit. However, if that leaves you with only enough monthly cash to scrape by, you might be risking falling into debt again. In that case, I'd go with the debt settlement. It all depends on how much cash the debt management plan leaves you with.
BTW: I'm also looking to get my debt under control. Would you recommend the debt counseling company you are working with? If so, would you mind please PMing it's name to me? THANX!
anyone remember a commenter named "Penny"? Can someone please link me to her Jezzie profile? She has a website where she sold some stuff, and I can't find the website's URL in my favorites (or anywhere else) for the life of me! #groupthink
Yes, well, it's not just men who find breasts attractive. I know we're talking evolution and all, but we could still aim for a less-heteronormative discussion. I'm willing to bet women have been into other women's boobs for just as long as men have been into them.
I have kind of a stupid grammar question to which I should fully know the answer but am too tipsy to figure out right now:
When Palin says something like "small businesses that grow our economy" or "free markets that progress America," I know that's a grammatical FAIL. Thing is, I can't articulate why at the moment. I know it makes no sense, but the fact that I'm too tipsy to explain why is driving my drunk ass *crazy*. Can anyone help?
@phalenopsis: I also left due to health issues, although the program itself was a hellhole and I was getting very little academic support. I'm totally with you on the 'excellent' timing. When I left school I lost my health insurance, and paying out of pocket for specialists was no picnic and was only made possible through very generous parental contributions.
Seriously, though, I'm so glad I took my now flat-broke ass out of school, since it would have been impossible to get my health back on track in that environment. Despite the awful timing, it's a decision that has saved my life in so many ways!
Anyhow, I wish you all the best, fellow PhD dropout!
@chritter is a nocturnal feminist mancatfish: Definitely not ideal, but I think (hope?) we'll manage. Thing is, both of us are so excited I finally found something, that we've yet to work out the details regarding our relationship. However, I think I'll continue to apply for jobs in California's Bay Area while working in New York, with the hope that I'll eventually land something geographically closer to my sweetheart. I just think it will be easier to look for/land a job in his area of the country once I'm already employed, since I won't have the constant stress of--for starters--looming poverty. This way, job hunting can be a means to find my way back to CA, instead of a daily Do-Or-Die, soul crushing activity that has my life hanging in the balance between gainful employment and the poorhouse.
Are you in NYC now?
