Tomorrow morning at 10am I have an appt for competency tests at the Lubbock ISD for Intro and Intermediate Windows and Intro to Word. I have to pass them to be considered for a Technology Manager position. I have no idea what this job entails, but after looking at the outlines for these tests, I am not too worried. It's things like creating a folder, inserting tabs in word, and shutting down the computer properly. As much fun as it is to sit around and watch Days of our Lives (there's a serial killer storyline, and they've killed off Jack and Abe!), and two daily episodes of Judge Judy, I would like to have some of my own money coming in, so that I can buy some of the things I want. Oh, to be able to just go shopping. I miss that feeling of not needing to go to the mall, but going anyway just to buy something. I do want to buy the new Farscape DVD, but that's $30-40 I don't have. (Yes, I am a big dork). I did preorder the new Sims expansion, so that will be my splurge this month.


Alright, I'm gonna go take out my contacts and get ready for bed.

Later

Well, I called the Lubbock school district and have an appointment to come in and take competencies in Windows and Word. I looked at the website and what is required, and it's all very basic stuff. I'm excited. It sounds interesting. Technology Manager. I really don't know what all is required, but I'm sure I'll find out. Walmart called me too, and all they have available is temp positions from 5pm to 2am. I really do not want to work nights. So, I hope this pans out. We're getting along really well with just Steve's check, so any extra money will be great. Also, it's only 10 months, so I will have summers off to go back home.

Well, that's it from here. I guess it's back to watching Maury! The topic today is "We're getting married in 4 days...Is he cheating?" What a wonderful topic full of lie detector tests!

Unemployment is starting to grate on my nerves. My job interview last week didn't pan out. I've gotten a couple of call backs this week, but in one case the woman is out of the office until Monday, and the other just wanted me to email some references. So here I wait. I applied for a couple more positions on the TTU website this morning. I was hoping at least Wal-mart would call. It would be a paycheck. We're doing ok money-wise right now. Steve gets another check on the first. Life has been pretty slow.

Bored bored bored bored bored. That pretty much sums up my life as of late. I am actually looking forward to taking public transpo to wal-mart tomorrow. At least I'll be able to get out of the house.
