Tonight was Women’s Night Out at M-Bar in Hollywood. I have never been before, but it was super fun. Elysia spoke about breast cancer and her upcoming surgery. We raised $97! There was also a phenomenal hula hooper there: Anah Reichenbach of Hoopalicious. She was a semi-finalist on America’s Got Talent. Damn, she sure does …

Politics
Just because I haven’t posted a political blog in a few days, doesn’t mean I’m not heavily paying attention to the election. The debate was good. I think McCain’s facial expressions were a bit odd. He mentioned Joe, the Plumber too many times. Obama did very well. He stayed on target, knew his subjects well, …

And the Hunt Goes On
I had a great interview yesterday for a company in Glendale, less than 1 mile from my apartment. I would be able to walk there on nice days!!! The job is working for the employee training department as a coordinator (and eventually, as a trainer). It is perfect! It would be a dream come true …

Heading into the Desert
So, in an hour, I am leaving for Ridgecrest, CA for a photography workshop. Thankfully, I haven’t maxed out my business AmEx yet; so, I’ll be able to survive the weekend. I have to pay the card off by April, so if you know anyone getting married, please recommend me! This workshop is going to …

Global Warming is Caused by Humans
Yes, it is! I know lots of people don’t think so, but it is! I trust the scientists who study the environment and the glaciers. I trust the researchers and climatologists! They are intelligent people, educated and experienced. They know MORE than Sarah Palin. They know MORE than George Bush. They actually KNOW what causes …

Dilemma
So, I had an incredible interview today with BRC, and I really love the company. They have longevity, a creative and relaxed environment, and a great benefits package. Sadly, the position I have applied for is an entry level position. Though I know I would kick-ass at it, the pay goes along with the ‘entry …

Debate on Health-Care
Both candidates are doing very well sharing their views and enhancing their tickets. I am very scared; however, about McCain’s healthcare plan. There are millions of Americans who CANNOT get health insurance. It’s not about money, it’s about the insurance companies denying coverage! I was denied private health-care due to a 2-week bout of tendinitis …

Conflicted
I woke up this morning feeling awful that I am no longer contributing to taxes for schools, roads, public works, etc. I thought about the fact that if more people get laid-off, who will pay taxes? Who will support our schools, roads and infrastructure?! It scares me a lot… knowing that less and less people …

Doing What it Takes to Survive
So, today, I started applying for Executive Assistant positions. I can’t believe I’m doing this. I have so much more to offer the world than answering phones, typing correspondence, managing expense reports, making travel arrangements and making coffee. I have been a Project Manager and Human Resource Manager. Below is my resume (with company names …

No Cookies
I don’t have the ingredients I need to make cookies, and I’m too crampy to drive. Aurora’s been in the same spot on the bed all day. Every time I walk by, she just looks at me. I wish I could enjoy being that lazy. I’m going insane…

Another Restless Day
It’s so hard to sit here and job hunt all day, finding little (if anything) to apply for. My back hurts, but that may be due to my week as an uber-female. I applied for one great position at WB; but, even though John can send an e-recommendation for me, it’s still me against thousands …

The Weeks Fly By…
Each week is flying by, quickly stripping me of my hope to find a job SOON! Soon has come and gone, even if it is revived each day. The past few days have been very tough for me. I learned that the HR Mgmt position I interviewed for cannot hire me until a bill passes …
