I found this on Robyn’s blog:
I know I try to keep my blog friendly enough so as not to offend, but I didn’t think it was that clean. I might have to do something about that.
More Music
June 21, 2007 By
I’ve been having fun with the mix CD exchanges, except that I’ve been so freaking busy lately that I’ve had a hard time keeping up. This one, a “Scavenger Hunt” CD like the two others I did, was supposed to be done in May, but I got it done, finally. Now I just need to find my way to the post office. Good thing I work right around the corner from it.
So, without further adieu, here’s what I came up with:
1. A song from the year you were born – Waterloo by ABBA
2. A song that mentions a place name – Leaving Las Vegas by Sheryl Crow
3. A food or mealtime song – Red Vines by Aimee Mann
4. A cowboy song – Good Friday by Cowboy Junkies
5. A song about music – Radio Radio by Elvis Costello
6. A song about the weather – Listening for the Weather by Bic Runga
7. Pick a name, any name – Annie by Jonatha Brooke
8. Something imaginary – Imaginary Friend by Chantal Kreviazuk
9. A song by a singer/band from a continent you don’t live on – Please Sister by The Cardigans
10. A pretty ugly song – Reasons to Be Beautiful by Hole
11. Don’t just sit there, get moving! (a song about some sort of action/physical activity) – The Hymn of Ordinary Motion by Douglas, Barenberg & Meyer
12. Money – either you got it or you don’t – I Got Money Now by P!nk
13. Seasonal songs – a song either mentioning a season or having to do with certain seasons – Four Seasons in One Day by Crowded House
14. Hello/Goodbye – Carrion by Fiona Apple
15. A really good cover version – Crazy Train by Emm Gryner
16. A song that reminds you of school days – Twice As Hard by The Black Crows
17. A song for those quiet rainy days – I Think It’s Going to Rain Today by Bette Midler
18. A song with the word ‘look’ in the title – Looking for Answers by Susan Tesdechi
I know some of the songs are the same as on previous lists, but it’s a different group this time around, so this mix is new to them. Anyway, they’re going out within the next few days, and hopefully that will kick start this group into action, because apparently I’m not the only one in this group who’s been slacking.
Sad Day
June 20, 2007 By
I’m not going to write a long post tonite. I know I haven’t written in awhile, but you’ll just have to wait a bit longer.
This morning, I had an email from VegasRic. His brother passed away last night. VegasJeff was a really great guy, and it’s going to be hard to imagine VegasRic’s house without VegasJeff’s lively personality there too.
RIP, VegasJeff. And to VegasRic and the rest of the VegasFamily, my deepest condolences go out to you during this difficult time.
Lesson of the Day
June 13, 2007 By
Today I learned that a good set of claws will make life easier.
My first day of work went well. The company that the agency placed me at seems decent, and the position is temp to perm for the right person (meaning me). Right now I have to get a whole bunch of documents ready to scan, so I spent the day removing staples from packets so they’ll go through the scanner. It was mindless busy work, but it was busy, and the day went by pretty fast.
Tomorrow I have a bunch more stuff to un-staple, then I get to learn how to scan it all in. It all seems really easy, and I was told it’s pretty hard to screw up royally, but even so, there were 3 temps before me who couldn’t cut it. But having worked in the staffing industry, I know that those kinds of people are exactly why temping has a bad name.
Finally, A Job
June 11, 2007 By
I spent the better part of the morning online doing the job application thing, like I have been nearly every day since unemployment. I was also in touch with one of the employment agencies I signed up for, but I was really not thrilled with what they had to offer me at this time (I told them I could work retail for more money and more hours). Then, late this afternoon, I got a call from the other agency regarding the interview I went on last Friday. Long story short – I got the job! I thought the interview went really well, and I seemed to have a good chemistry with the interviewer (who will be my direct supervisor), but I came away thinking it was a great shot, but I probably wouldn’t be selected. I was so wrong on that second part. They need someone asap, so I’ll be starting on Wednesday. It’s with a great company, and it’s temp to perm, close to home, and all that good stuff, plus it will give me a chance to learn a bit more about accounting, which was my original goal months ago when I parted ways with MRI. So yay! Time for some ice cream and vintage movies with Boyfriend.
