Playing Tourist



I've had a few days lately of getting to play tourist in my city. I have an annual pass to the Space Needle and got to take a good friend up for a sweet view of the city. A few days later we went to a chocolate factory for a tour and saw the Fremont Troll (which I'd never been to in the 20+ years I've lived here), got some soup and ice cream, and got to spend a ton of time catching up.

I met with a couple former coworkers yesterday and we went to a sushi buffet, which was wonderful.

These superfun excursions have provided excuses for me to be a bit lazytrousers. I haven't really worked on my resume. And I haven't yet gotten insurance sorted out (bad news bears, that, as I got a couple letters from my doctor saying I need to follow up on some tests I had a few months ago...whoops). I'm also starting to think that when the HR manager at my last job told me that they'd be giving me two weeks' pay, she really meant that they'd be sending me the check for the last two weeks I worked. So there's a thousand bucks that I'm not getting. That's pretty frustrating.

I've decided to apply for administrative and marketing positions at the university I went to. They do a lot of hiring from within, so I'd like to get a foot in that door. Plus, I love my school and it's ridiculously close to where I live. I checked out their benefits and they're amazing. Medical, dental, and vision are all paid for, plus free tuition and gym membership on campus. If I worked there I could totally start on graduate studies. That's something I've been considering for some time and the main hindrance was lack of funds. Fingers crossed!

Also, I made an appointment to get my hair cut! It's going to be my last splurge until I get a new job (that's the plan, anyway), but I'm going to get a cut that will be good for a job interview. I want to look put together and not like I've spent the last month sitting around and internetting.

Done:
-Um. Tourist things?
-hair appointment!

To do:
-omg, resume
-resume sent to university
-get my sleep schedule back in order!
