meet me at the fair
Well, I'm waiting for the computer to finish printing out resumes for me while I'm eating lunch. Then, I'm off to the job fair.

calling all jobs
I also called someone back who e-mailed me, but he was in a meeting. I left a message for him to get back to me at home, told them it was about my resume. His e-mail signature had a website in it. I think I've gotten called by this guy before, but he was looking for someone who devote a lot more time to work than I could. I want a job, but I also want to finish school. The job he described was going to take a lot of my time and I'm not willing to give up school again. Not this time. I want to finish. I'll find out when he calls. Maybe I'll go on the interview anyway for the practice and see what happens.

movie review
Mom and I were watching Moulin Rouge before I left for class yesterday. It was actually very amusing in a lot of places. I wasn't sure what to think of it when I saw the previews, but I think I'd enjoy it if I watched the whole thing. And that really was Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGreggor singing.

Dad and I also watched Disney's Atlantis, the Lost Empire recently. I enjoyed it. Jacquiline Obradors, Michael J Fox, Cree Summer, the guy who played Father Guido on "Saturday Night Live", and James Garner were among the voices I recognized. Also, the guy who plays Frasier's dad on the show did a voice. I was surprised at how many were there. The animation was a bit more like a Don Bluth movie, but the drawing style was definitely different from anything else. Disney sometimes changes drawing styles from movie to movie, which can sometimes make their work hard to identify. And the movements were very exaggerated, like you usually see in a Don Bluth animation. The storyline was surprisingly reminiscent of Stargate, where the linguist falls in love with a native and stays behind. But, I enjoyed the movie overall.

(phone rings)
I just got off the phone with Dale, Ken's assistant, apparently. I'm going to go on the interview tomorrow for Motivators, Inc., which is the guy that e-mailed me earlier. This is a different company, though. The other one was up in Hauppauge somewhere and this one's on Route 106 in Hicksville. It's a 45 minute drive or so, but we'll see how it goes. If I can get an early shift, I'll miss the traffic and still be able to tutor.

ready to go
Well, my resumes are finished printing, so I'm going to quick finish lunch and then head off to the fair.
