My sister graduated from college yesterday...yay!

Today is her graduation party so we are all down in North Andover, MA for the party. We came down Friday night and I hung out with my sister last night to celebrate her graduation and Eric went to Boston to hang out with his friends. He came back today super hung over and was pretty much useless to help with the party and/or watch Sadie...oh well, I guess I have been there plenty of times too.

Last week I decided I was not interested in the job I shadowed. I was asked if I was interested in a different position at one of the organizations that I had not been hired for the position I interviewed for in the first place. I said yes of course, but the pay is not incredible...It is not horrible, though, but I don't even know if they will offer me the position.

I also had another interview with a different company and I think it went well and would love to be offered that position. Hopefully they will let me know this week.

Along with all of these interviews and what not I was able to get my computer back, but instead of the computer working well it broke after two hours of having the damn thing back. Luckily, I paid for the warranty so Best Buy gave me a whole new laptop...thank gawd!

Now I am typing this blog post from my new computer using my parents fast, wireless internet.

I would also like to add that I watched the movie, "You Don't Know Jack," which is a movie about Dr. Kevorkian and I highly recommend it.

Portland sucks when you have no job and little money. There are some cool things to do and see, but it seems like everything takes cash to do it.

I had three first interviews and two second interviews last week, but I feel no closer to employment than I was was a week and a half ago. To top things off, Saturday afternoon my computer completely broke. So as of right now I have no functioning computer, which means no internet and no way to job search.

I did, however, go to the Reiche Branch of the Portland Library System to check my e-mail and new job postings (the main branch is closed on Mondays). Unfortunately, no new positions had been posted.

Luckily, I talked to the "Geek Squad" at Best Buy and the people at Dell and within the week my computer should be back. I am going to lose everything on the computer, though... bummer!!!

One good thing is that I am at least still in the running for one open position and I might be job shadowing later in the week.

Keep your fingers crossed for me.
