Right. Well.
Got the official e-mail today - didn't get any of the WAP trainer positions. I knew that anyway, thanks to my contacts inside, but it's still crap to confirm. So...I've now been rejected from my two top jobs in two months. More than still not having a job, that's just hell on the self-esteem.
Thank God there's a Doctor Who marathon on SciFi today.

Not much, but I hope it will give you a smile :D

Although it's been a while, I remember how much job hunting/rejection sucked. I'm sure you will find something great, most likely when you least suspect it.

Sorry things didn't work out for you. Hope there will be more job opportunities coming your way.
Your "rejected" mood icon is making me sad too. Oh, Ten.

Rose decides to give reading a try. ;)

Housemates are home so we need to have another marathon. ;) All the election crap made me miss West Wing so much! Also,
Hee!

Hehe! I like that video! I'm starting to really like the fast-paced ones. But ugh, I can't stop thinking about how much I'm going to miss Ten...
Yes! West Wing! It might be a little hard to plan a marathon right now, for reasons I'm sure you will hear me rant about in the near future. But.. I'll try to figure it out.
Edit: Ok, actually, you can come over whenever you want. We just might have to hang out in my room.

Well, I need to take my car in for maintenance, and it's closed tomorrow, so...we'll see. Gah. Should have dealt with this sooner. But we should do HP4 sometime ;)
I hope your rant-ish thing isn't too bad :(

I guess things aren't too bad, especially compared to all your job problems, but I'm still rather annoyed with my life right now. I would have posted about it on my journal already, but whenever I start to rant about something, I end up stopping myself. I get like halfway through and realize that my problems aren't honestly that bad. Then I feel like it would be really lame to post about my stupid problems. lol But I'll probably spend some time complaining next time I see you. ;)

Hey, go ahead and post. That's what journals are for. I do that all the time - stopping halfway through because I realize it's a stupid problem. Eventually I decided the catharsis is usually worth it. Just talking it out and getting it down on paper (errr, computer). Did I ever tell you my sea lion story? I should tell you my sea lion story. *L*

Ok...well, I have a proposal for you, if you're interested. Trouble is, I can't go anywhere with it until Tim and I own some property. I need a partner. Not for the pet-sitting gig. That's just to provide seed money for the thing I really want to do. Start up a non-profit wildlife rescue/wildlife education org very similar to Wild Things. I need to get permits. I'll need help building enclosures, acquiring animals, and of course feeding and cleaning up after them. I'll need help training animals, acquiring crates, drumming up business, and performing educational shows. Like I said, it's not something that's going to happen now or even take off right away, but the offer is there if you want it. After paying for overhead, I can split the profits with you 50/50. So, think about it. Either way, I'm going to do this at some point, so don't be afraid to say no if you're not up to the risks. I'll let you know how things progress, and if you want to join in farther down the line, that's cool, too.

You put it so much more eloquently than I. ;)
You are too sweet, Jenn. I'm so excited for you to start up that business - Kris put the fear of God in me on that, but you seem to have everything so planned. :D I applied for an "interpretive naturalist" position at the MN Zoo today - not really what I want, but it's a start, and would give me that much-needed experience doing programs for school kids. Kids still make me nervous, you know that? *LOL* Anyways, I am still keeping your outreach in mind for the future - it would be so awesome to work with you.
