European Vacation

Major changes! We're now going to Amsterdam rather than London. Much drama about the cost of the ticket for the train ride between Paris and London. Damn chunnel.

So, last minute change, but everything's booked and we're all set. Now to talk with my mother about which strain of THC I should think about trying at the local bars... ;)

Facebook Addiction

So as many of you know, because you have seen the results firsthand within your own Facebook accounts, I have recently become very addicted to Facebook. I think the transition from just a casual user to full-blown addict occurred during my recent illness, when I found myself lying around for days and days, feeling like crap but unable to talk on the phone or really leave my house.

There's an application on there called "Pieces of Flair" and boyyyyyyy oh boy, I love me some pieces of flair. And it's virtual flair! You don't even have to clutter up a drawer with actual small buttons or buy them and say to yourself, "Now where can I wear this 'Vote for Pedro' button and not be judged harshly by my peers." You can just secretly hoard these little buttons in your own account and then post them and share them with your friends. To top it off, you can even CREATE your own flair!!!!! Taking any kind of picture and turning it into a small, virtual button---well, the opportunites to make someone's day are limitless, my friends.

So, my current flair board looks a little something like this:

An homage to a certain someone in Chicago I haven't seen in a while. Shout out to you, Turtle! Now get your ass on Facebook already, would ya?!

2 job interviews in two days

It was time to bust out the suit again.  I had two job interviews in the past two days.  First, Best Buy.com where they're looking for a Product Specialist in their appliance area.  It's an internal marketing role, and it's also a contract position.  Can I please just say how much I LOVE that corporate HQ they've got lurking over 494 and Penn?  An absolute monstrosity from the outside, but man, once you're inside, it's like the best corporate campus you've ever seen.  Super high tech, super pretty, super abuzz, lots of amenities...  Color me impressed...and that's not the kind of thing I usually go in for.

Next was an interview at CPC Experiential, a marketing agency that's looking for a Staffing Manager.  Full time, permanent position.  YES!  It's a super small office out in Eagan and I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about everything until I got there.

Then I got all excited.  Which scares me...because I'm afraid if I don't get it, I'm going to be hurt.

But man, from what I can tell, this could be SUCH a fantastic opportunity for me.  And a home.  A HOME DAMMIT!  I am so sick of bouncing around...

So, time will tell.
