Job Hunting and Twins vs. O's

Ok, so I haven't written for awhile because I've essentially done the exact same thing every day. I wake up, trip over one of the cats on the way to the bathroom, eat breakfast (in the kitchen, not the bathroom) and begin my quest looking for jobs. MAN IS IT FRUSTRATING!!! Not only is it boring and time-consuming, but I feel like I'm chasing my tail most of the time! I've sent about a dozen or so resumes out and, so far, no dice. I had one lead, a very encouraging one, but it turned out to be a dud. After four weeks of waiting, and speaking with someone advertising the job at a job fair, I find out the next day (again, after having applied four weeks earlier), that HR at this unnamed place has their heads in their butts. No communication at all...the job was filled weeks before...sorry for the inconvenience Mr. Nick...ha ha, no food for you....

Sorry, I'm done. It feels good to get that off my chest. I am (THANKFULLY!) doing a little work for Westmark via the internet (mostly graphic design) and I hope that I can at least get an interview at NPR (I just sent a resume out today for a position that opened only about 3 days ago). We'll see.

Kristin is very, very busy. She's at school almost all day, and then studies most of the evening. She has midterms (already!) this week so she's been even busier than usual.

On the lighter side, I actually did something on Saturday night: I went to the Twins vs. Orioles game. You see, there is a St. Olaf Alum group here that encompasses the Baltimore/DC/Arlington/etc that was going. I went, and had a fun time talking to people...I even watched the game a little. The funny thing about the event was that there were about 30 Oles there, and right in front of us (we sat in front of the Jumbo-tron) there were a bunch of Carleton Alums!! To top it off, I saw a fellow classmate (here's a hint for anyone playing along at home: he's a tuba player who now heads up a boy-band) who was sitting a couple sections over! What a random night!


Here's a picture of what I usually do on Sundays:
