here a job, there a job
I had my interview at Nature's Bounty (NBTY) today. They're paying $7/hr (ouch), but with benefits for full time employees. However, I have several applications still out there, so I'm going to wait about a week before I call the girl at NBTY back with my decision. There's a second step to the interview that I still have to go through.

tutoring woes
Well, I still haven't gotten a paycheck from the school and I've filled up one sheet for the names already. O.O;;; I'm hoping to get something soon.

Also, I saw Lynda today. She's having trouble retaining the terminology. So, I have to basically teach her studying techniques. I'm meeting her again next Tuesday. The major thing is, I don't think she wants to be a computer person. She just wants a basic receptionist type of job. Nothing fancy or complicated. So, now, if she told Admissions this, why the heck did they put her in a computer terminology course where they're teaching her the innards of a computer? It's not what she needs. She needs a basic occupational certificate in like Office Technology or something, where she learns how to use Microsoft Office. Not some heavy degree where she needs to know about HTML and what an AGP is. O.O;; Oi.

you do the math
Then, I was sitting in math class, already late because Lynda certainly does like to talk about everything except the topic... but I got there before the Professor. In fact, Dr C never showed. O.O;;; We don't know what happened. No one came downstairs and said, "Hey, class is cancelled." We all just sat there for an hour, going over the homework with each other, signed a sheet of paper (which I nicely dropped off at the attendance box for everyone), and we all went home. Well, those of us that didn't have another class...

car troubles
I had to drop Dad off at Nana's today so he could borrow her car. The tranny on the Bronco is going dead. We may have to find another vehicle for Dad. {{sigh}} Depending on how much the tranny work is going to cost, he's either going to fix it or donate it.

time
Or lack thereof, this morning. I almost forgot I had the NBTY interview this morning. I got to Nana's and took a prescription to drop off at Target for her (which she wanted to come so she could go shopping, but I didn't have time because I had to get back home and shower/change/get ready for the interview). The pharmacist then started saying that it was just iron pills and I could buy them over the counter and he was going to do this and that... I thought my head was going to fall off. I told him I'd worry about it later and left. I called Nana later on in the day and told her what happened. {{sigh}}

meditation for me?
I'm beginning to think I should borrow that meditation tape from Brigid. It did help, surprisingly enough. O.O;;;
