What did Paula do today? Hm...



[--Because I DIDN'T send out a cover letter that began with a sentence fragment.  Caught that one just in time.  What kind of job am I applying for again?  Not something that deals with quality writing, right?]



[--Because I sent out 3 applications before my flash drive decided to eat the cover letters and corresponding CV files.]



[--Because of snarky comments made to roommates instead of the intended party.  Still blows off steam, with 90% less bitchiness!]


SOTD: Bob Gentry - Upside Down. This is on the Jog Tunes Indie podcast. I dig it.

Urge to destroy CVs... rising



[--Because ‎"We're from Iowa: we're easily amused. All it takes is an itchy butt--sometimes not even that...Sometimes all it takes is a butt."]



[--3/5 applications sent in ain't bad.]




[--Because I was allowed to revamp my profile like 20 times after I submitted my application to add things on one places' job application site. Do they get notification when I change it? Probably.]


SOTD: Skrillex - Kill Everybody (with wicked sick dance moves.)

DC DAY ONE!



[--Because of lunch with awesome RPCV ladies. Dutch sushi date?]




[--Because of the human ability for setting oneself up for destruction. Especially when related to relationships.]




[--Because of meetin' a whole slew of rad RPCVs. They're just cool people.]



SOTD: The Bell - Today

Sci-fi movie night!



[--I only have a massive amount of editing work on my CV and resume before submitting.  For a part time internship.]



[--Because of cheesy, awesome eighties movies (one in particular) and the groups of nerds that watch them.  I now know, like, 9 people in this town!]




[--Because of instantaneous help with running routes from my roommate-- mapped out courses and offers to run with me when softball season's over.  Only catch is, I don't run a seven and a half minute mile.]


SOTD: El DeBarge - Who's Johnny.  This is the cheesy, awesome eighties movie I was talking about.

Respite in Michigan

[--Because yes, Virginia, there ARE cute cottages-by-lakes with docks and boats and long, windy driveways.]




[--Because of a totally 90's experience:  Sleepless in Seattle, on VHS with all the original commercials (and the memories it dredged up of my last relationship).]




[--Because of commiserating with friends on the job hunt by devoting a day to assembling a puzzle of Oreos and milk, consisting entirely of blacks, whites, and browns.]



SOTD: Shiny Toy Guns - You Are the One

12 September 2011

All-Day Driving-- Day 1



[--Because this is the first day of the rest of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]




[--Because of delightful Indian restaurants... in Toledo!]




[--Because of parents who will mail you running shoes when you realize you forgot them 30 minutes into your two day drive.]


SOTD: The B-52's - Roam
