Snippets

So it's turned very cold here...I don't just mean crisp evenings. I actually saw my breath today -- in the afternoon. So it was up to the storage unit for me to dig out all my sweaters. I'm having to dress up a lot for my new job at the City -- they're all very formal there. So, I'm thinking a shopping spree might be in the cards for me...I need some new business professional clothes. Those ORU skirts just don't cut it any more.
I intereviewed today with an environmental company in Seattle. I almost completely blew it -- I got so lost! Their office is on this little island under the bridge to West Seattle -- I didn't even know there was an island there, that's how badly turned around I was. I had to call them for directions, and then I had to stop at a gas station for more directions. I finally made it -- 30 minutes late. Complete disaster. They were pretty cool about it though. Apparently everyone gets lost on their way to this office, so it was no big deal. Big relief, but still...I hate being late.
The company does clean ups and such for different companies' environmental disasters. If I got it, I would be their technical writer/editor. It sounds really interesting, and so me...so say a little prayer that they'll fall in love with me! (Despite my punctuality issues.) I won't hear back from them until mid-October though...argh.
Steph, I'm so sorry about your gruesome experience on the train. That sounds absolutely awful. You have me worried now -- watch out for those when you're crossing the tracks (not that you don't, but still...you can't be too careful).
Angie, I got your STD! (Ok, that sounds a little weird...) Anyway, it's so cute! I have it hanging on the fridge :) I'm so excited about your wedding -- it's going to be such a good time. And all those festive things to do in the area got me all excited for the holidays.
