Just work today. I'm glad I was able to make it to work on time without having to spend $10 on a dang cab! LoL! It's a shame that it takes me 90 minutes to get to work via the trains/bus, but the actual time spent on the Marta is only about 30 minutes. The other 60 is spent waiting for my connecting trains/bus. Total whackness.
After work I went to the GSU library and worked on my resume/cover letter for Poston Communications, LLC. It's a Public Relations/Communications firm located in our building at work. I typed everything up, emailed it to the company, and printed copies to turn in to them in person tomorrow. Hopefully this will turn into something great!

Day 38: Monday, September 7, 2009
So today is Labor Day, and I elected to come into work for a few hours to get some mulah. Nothing else really happened today. I got my little 3 hours in and called it a day. Of course no company was open, so I just spent 3 hours at work on Google researching/looking up direct dials for contacts online for our database. It was me, my iPod, and maybe 3 other people, including my supervisor Billy. Other than that, today wasn't that exciting. But I can't wait to drive Goldie!!!
Day 37: Sunday, September 6, 2009
So my mommy brought down my Kia!!! YAY!!!! It's actually not that bad. No, it's not what I was promised by my sperm donor (aka, my "dad"), but eh. What can ya do? But the Kia is not as bad as I thought it might be. I can see myself riding around town in it for a few months. Hopefully, something will happen soon enough to where I can get a newer car, but for now, it's me and Goldie ALL THE WAY!!!
And it was so good to see my mom again too, as well as her friend and her friend's boyfriend. I haven't seen them since Christmas. My mom had in her braids, which I HATE. She wears them every daggone summer, and every summer, I BEG her to take them out, lol! But summer wouldn't be summer without my momma's braids! Lol!
After they left, me and a couple of friend's went to Piedmont Park for Pride. According to another friend, there was a free BBQ, and with time's being as hard as they are, I was down for some free grub. So me, Shari, and Z went out to the park, where I was sexually harassed by these overly crunk dudes that apparently tried to grab at me. I ignored them as best I could and kept walking along. However, Z and Shari thought the entire incident was hilarious. Smh (Shaking My Head).
Then, immediately after that, I see this HUGE mass of people ahead of us start to RUN towards us! It was CRAZY.

Day 36: Saturday, September 5, 2009
My mom was supposed to drive from Virginia with her friend to drop off the Kia today. I stayed home all day and called her AT LEAST 20 times to reach her to get an ETA. I stayed home, with no food (I was gonna go to the store, but didn't want to miss her), only to reach her friend's cell at 8 pm. Apparently, the decided not to come until tomorrow (Sunday) instead, and neglected to call me...Whackness...
*Sigh* Another broke day in the hizzood.

Day 35, Friday, September 4, 2009
Today was day two as a Confirmer at The List. Man, I don't like this job...at all. I just feel like such a lame for being back here again. I did decide to take a tour of the building we're housed in though. It's filled with various communications, technology, and design firms (small businesses). I figure at the very least I can possibly find an internship or something with one of them. I need to branch out and do something else. I can't see myself working part-time and living off $10 per hour at 20 hours per week for a whole year before Grad School. Nope. Can't see it at all...Please God, don't let that be the case (the PT job part, not the Grad School part! I wanna go to school!). At least this weekend is Labor Day, and my momma is supposed to bring Goldie, a 2001 Kia Rio (stick shift) this weekend.
My momma bought the car off of a co-worker for dirt cheap. Ironically, my mom got offended when I asked her about the condition of the car. Then she tried to throw up the loan she took out for me to go to Morehouse (I ended up transferring to Georgia State), as if one thing somehow had something to do with the other. Initially, it used to break my heart whenever she would do that. Now, I just sort of fade out of the conversation and think of other things. It's not because I don't respect her or anything like that, but I swear. That damn loan is like the splinters of the cross. It's EVERYWHERE. So at this point, whenever she brings it up, it has no effect...at all. Hey, I went to college, my mom took out a loan, and it didn't work out. But, at least I graduated, which was the end goal, right? So hey, I'm happy. And hopefully one day, I will be in a position to repay my mother's generosity. Maybe then she can stop bringing it up, lol!
Oh, and this weekend is Black Pride weekend here in Atlanta. I will be in the house! Lol, too many crowds. Plus, my broke behind can't even afford two packs of Kool-Aid, much less anything else! Lol!

Day 34, Thursday September 3, 2009
So today was my first day back as a Confirmer at The List, Inc......again. I worked here, in the EXACT SAME POSITION two years ago before I started at GA State. I'm on the same bus line, at the same job, making the same $10 per hour at 20 hours per week, and I'm back to using Lucille, the same Toshiba laptop I had since 2005. Hmm.....All this hard work for this degree, just to end up back....here......*sigh*.....But at least it's a check. But when is it going to stop being "at least a check?"
Day 33, Wednesday September 2, 2009
Had my interview with Med Easy, a company based in Atlanta today. The interview went GREAT! I'm so excited about it. The downside is that the owner won't make his decision until after he gets back from vacation on September 15! Whackness! But, I guess good things come to those who wait, right?
Oh, and I had another interview for this website position today as well (via phone). The company is based in San Francisco, and pays $500 a month to edit some of their posts here on the East Coast from 8-10 am each morning. It would be great pocket change/savings money. I hope/pray I get it. 3 part-time jobs...? Hmmm...Can you say, "The Come Up!?!?!?""
