My boss was so out of line today.
First, he gives me this story - that it took the intern 40+ hours to do (last summer). He assigns it to me, and i'm gone most of the day every day. This is the type of tedious assignment that requires you to be be BY THE PHONE at all times.
I got called into his office, and he totally yelled at me . "So, are you over worked? Well, I know for a fact that you are not because I know everything you do." NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!! "(Other) co-workers have a lot to do as well, but no one gives me this 'overworked' tone like you do. You're the only one who ever makes a big deal about it."
Who is he talking about?
The person that he can call at 7 a.m. because he forgot about an assignment and send me SCRAMBLING w/ less than 10 minutes to drive over there and get it.
He's the person who NEVER LISTENS, if you aren't saying "Yes, yes yes yes, everything is ok" he takes it so personally, and stops listening altogether.
So disorganized.
out of line.
I didn't say one word about the crappy assignment, until they started ASKING FOR IT, and I still had 16 (parts) left because I wasn't getting any fucking help with it!
"It's like he's saying, HEY MAKE SURE YOU GET 8 hours worth of office work done all day every day, but since I am so disorganized - I'm going to send you out on the road for at least 1/2 of your day each day and still expect you get get all of this bullshit done. AND, if you come in to ask me a question about anything, i'm going to automatically assume that you are complaining - so I am going to be very short and very rude with you every day until you get this pain in the ass assignment done."
FUCK FUCK FUCK. I need a new job!

AN IN
I have an 'in' at the place that I want to work for! I just realized that a fellow college-mate works there, this is so unbelievably exciting. Now he can see if they a. have an opening b. are worth working for (which is sounds like they are) and c. put in a good word for me!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYA!
This discovery was made tonight while I was working on my portfolio. Thanks to all who have given me suggestions, i'm sure i'll include you all when it's all done. :)
All I know, is that the time for change is now. I have been praying, and I consider this a pretty clear 'sign.'

How I nearly punched an 8-year-old
Ok, i'm kidding, kind of.
This evening, I was at an excruciatingly boring assignment for work. In the balcony, where I was stationed - there was a little kid who would clap longer than everyone else - just to be for lack of a better word - annoying. Each time (at this awards ceremony). It was distracting, so naturally, I ended up looking up there three or four times, sending mind bullets her way.
She saw me look up there, and apparently didn't like it. The very next moment, the arm rest from the chair she was sitting in was hurled at me, and it hit the wall next to me w/ a loud thud. I was so embarrassed, I got up and told the person in charge upstairs, and left the room.
The kid, a girl, followed me.
She followed me downstairs and into the main room, where she was distracting other people.
I didn't see her for a while. I went to the bathroom. While I was in the bathroom, the door opens, someone enters, and two little feet stand out in front of the stall that I was in.
Me: "yes?"
Her: mocking me: "Yeees?"
Then, she turns, and runs - flipping the light switch off on the way out. So there, in pitch black, I maneuvered my way to the light-switch but she was gone.
I went back into the hallway, and she was standing nearby. She walked right up to me and said "How did you like that?" It was said really loud and just mean.. for lack of a better word. There were just enough people out in the hall, that I didn't want to make a scene.
I replied:
"Do I know you?"
She replied, again mocking me:
"Do I knoooow yuuu?"
I think then she actually cackled and flew off on her broom. I didn't see any more of her until she was walking to the car w/ her parents. Where the H were they during this whole thing?
I'm so weirded out by this.
Just a brat. Maybe she thought I was someone else, I have never seen her before in my life.

"Another cow" / "No actually I think that's the same one"
"we have debris", Twister
Above (about the cows) is my favorite quote from the movie Twister.
Yesterday, I was like Helen Hunt, only I didn't have Dorothy in the backseat of my truck - and sadly no Bill Paxton. However, I was prepared to take my belt and wrap it around a pipe if need be, then I would be safe! hehe.
Friday night began with a bang, shall we say. Tornadoes ripped through the towns nearby destroying 3 farms. Saturday, my objective was to go to these farms, get photos and the story and go cover everything else that I had planned for the weekend.
I got up at 7:30, and got on the road. I was at the scene of the major damage by 8, and took photos of people trying to put their life back together. While at that scene, learned that places were flooding all over the county, and that the exact same area was in another tornado watch until 7 p.m. (later, they would get hit again with a tornado)
Left around 12:30 to scurry to a graduation ceremony.
After the ceremony, a friend and I went to grab some food. We had just sat down with our food when I got a call reporting at least 3 tornadoes headed this way, or already on the ground close by. So we bolted over to another friends house who has a basement, and a police scanner :)
I was sent out after those passed through to get photos of damage all over the area, putting in a total of 15 or so hours yesterday.
And today, that is what I will do again. I'm off to find a person's plane that flipped over on it's top.
No reported injuries, we really are the lucky ones, as I sit here watching CNN seeing the towns that were completely flattened.
Hope everyone is safe, dry, and fed :)

No more wondering.
The job that I had applied for his been filled.
This is ok. But I was really getting excited about it, couldn't shut-up about it. It's all that I really thought about - and poof gone.
This is a new experience for me.
Throughout college, jobs stuck to me - at any given moment I had 4-5 jobs.
Found my current job 5 months before graduating, easy as pie.
Now, my journey continues - it is kind of free-ing in a way.
Realistically, I'm more able to move in the late summer, so that is my new focus.
