Eee!

OMG, a ginormous thank you to anonymous_greg for his donation to my Heart Walk Team! You are truly a generous and wonderful human being :) But we all knew this! *glomps anonymous_greg* Thank you again!

In other news, I had two job interviews today, and one last week. The one last week was for a city library near here, which was part-time but would still be really cool. The two today were for an admin assistant at the Liberal Arts Dean's Office and as an admin assistant (mostly copy editing stuff) at a local financial advising firm. Both seem VERY nice, and I will find out about the former by the end of next week at the latest. The latter is still being advertised so it'll be a bit longer before I find out anything. I'd be very happy with either (the latter has ridiculously good benefits but is more hours, the former is on-campus and a nice atmosphere but has less to do with my degree, etc. and soforth). I would definitely be glad to take either and I'm sure I would like the work involved in either.

/quick update!

Weirdos abound, or Elaby has comprehension issues

So, as caitirin said:

"P.S. Annoying bitchy girl bitched at us in the MUB for talking. Hello? Talking in the community center what is made for gathering of the community? Because she wanted to sleep. Well GO HOME to sleep. OR GO TO THE LIBRARY what is made for quiet! Do not sleep in the community center! Pain in the ass. Also do not come up to my table and beat around the bush asking "Do I know that people try to sleep here?" Yes I do. And if you want to sleep, go for it. If you want to sleep in quiet... GO SOMEWHERE QUIET! Stupid bint. [/rant]"

Yes. This was a strange thing. Number one, it's the MUB, where people talk. Number two, if people just knew how to communicate, life would be so much easier.

It went something like this:

elaby, caitirin, and hak42 - *have dinner and talk at a reasonable level about homework, mind you*
Girl - *comes over and stands beside elaby*
Elaby - *looks up*
Girl - *with not-particularly-irritated expression* Did you know that people do homework and sleep here?
Elaby - . . . *blank stare*
Girl - *waits*
Elaby - *brain whirrs* *thinks Girl is some kind of Survey Person, whose natural habitat is the MUB, asking about people who spend 24 hours a day at the MUB*
Caitirin and Hak42 - *calmly explain that there's a sign on the door that says this isn't a quiet study room and that people do group work here all the time*
Girl - *argues for a while that she was trying to sleep and got woken up*
Elaby - *brain whirrs, apparently stuck*
Caitirin and Hak42 - *respond logically that this isn't a dorm, or the library*
Girl - *goes away*
Conversation - *resumes at a lower level*
Elaby - *brain whirrs*

Later:
Elaby - *brain whirrs* *click* OH. She wanted us to be QUIET. ... Why didn't she just ask us to be quiet?

O_o;; People are weird. If somebody came up to me and said, "Could you please be a little quieter? I'm trying to sleep/study" I would say "Oh, sure! Sorry! I didn't realize we were being loud." But you come up to someone and say something roundabout or sarcastic and people will either respond in kind or misunderstand you completely.

Can you tell that Caitirin's in class tonight?

More LJ posts from Elaby? What is this madness, you ask?

Obviously, it's Obscure Dorkitude time.

Unmei kaihen!
