Hey Kevin!

Your Job counselor sounds just like mine was last year. It must be a universal thing or something. Anyway, so how did the appointment with the career counselor go today?? I hope it went well. This is a website I've looked at before and it's sometimes helpful: www.monstertrak.monster.com or just simply monsterTRAK.com . Good Luck though and let us know what happens.

I am so sorry to hear about your mom's cat! That's horrible!!! It's always said when you loose an animal that you were close too, and now matter how long or short of time that animal has been with you you still end up loving it very much. Sad story. Is she going to get another cat?? Or is she the type of person who waits for the animals to come to her? I tend to do that.

I think your friend Stacy is just like my sister in laws best friend. That girl is spastic and is nothing but a flirt. It's just who she is. Stacy probably doesn't (and I say probably...maybe she does) even know what she's doing...it's just natural to her. It does stink though, b/c some poor person could be completely confused by her flirting. It's always a very risky business to be an "open" flirt like that. But you are right...A LOT of fun! That's funny about inviting you to go with her AND her boyfriend. I wonder what he'd think of that!!! hehehe Let us know how that one plays out as well....now I'm really curious....mind drifts off... ....okkay! Back to the present! heheheheeee

How'd your exam go tonight??? You had a night exam tonight correct? I hope it went well. Is this the class that you keep "missing" ?? Good luck on your other exams this week as well!!! I'm sure You'll do great. You get a shiny gold star for being so cool. Now don't you feel lucky! lol Good luck and take care!!!

I hope the rest of your week goes great!

Hey Kaiten!

Thanks! She actually recommended that site too! So it must be great . I guess this appointment went better than the last. I enjoyed talking to this lady alot more. She ended up signing me up to take a "strong interest inventory" test, to find out what I like and what jobs might include some of those things....well I'm pretty sure no one's going to pay me to do this all day , nor am I likely to get much money from playing spades, or taking walks. But on the bright side I'm interested in lotsa stuff so ya never know

Crud! All day I kept reminding myself to call and see how she was doing and darnit if I didn't forget . I feel like such a negligent son....GRRRRR

She's more of an "animals find her" kinda person. But actually there's a couple other cats there, it's just that those are like my grandparents' cats whereas Petey was "her baby".

I actually didn't end up going, they started right when my test was begining, I probably coulda caught the tail end of desert or something, but I wasn't really in the mood after I finished up anyway. ***yawns***

Well I don't feel good about it, but I don't feel bad about it either. So I'm guessing a B or a C. Thanks for asking! No the class I keep "missing" lol, is tomorrow night (and I really need to study for it GRRRrrr) and yay thanks for the star

I hope the rest of your week goes great!

Thanks! I'm expecting it to! I get paid Friday, and I'll be in the mood to have fun after this "studious" week lol. hmmmmm I think I wanna go ice skating. I wonder if I can find some brave soul to go with me?

Anyway I hope your week is completely awesome, amazingly teriffic, and of such a high degree of enjoyableness that it tests the very bounds of rational thought! Umm, take care

Kevin

Edit: check this out! This is what I got when I tried to post this: "

THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND

You have posted a message with more emoticons that this board allows. Please reduce the number of emoticons you've added to the message

"

WOW! (I'd do a shocked smiley but clearly that wouldn't be helpful)

LOL just read your post in here about the smiles, you should try posting more, there is never enough of them i use them too much.

sounds like your having a difficult time sorting a job out, must be fruestrating when no one will give you any help. Cannot imagine trying to decide what to do, i'm glad i know what i want to do and have never had to think about it.

sorry to hear about your mums cat, is really horrible when they die like that, even if they are old.

Sounds like your friend has unreasonable parents, but she is old enough to make her own decisions and should talk to them about it, though i know with some parents that just isn't possible, they think they can run their kids lives till they are married and even then some try.

But i'm sorry dinner didn't cheer you up

Stacey sounds nice, maybe her boyfriends into guys too *has a naughty mind* but maybe she just flirts with people and wanted you to go out with her.

and for sushi i have no comment lol

Hi Kevin,

Sounds like you've had an eventful few days. First point I need to make is about careers advisors. These are people who couldn't work out what they wanted to do with their lives and thus decided they would be perfect for advising others. Listen to their advice, then file it away in the shit-bin and think about what you want to do with your life. It doesn't have to be anything special right now, if you're thinking of going to grad school, but it should be something that interests you.

My advice would be to go onto the websites and have a look at the sort of jobs that are available at the moment. If one of them interests you then apply for it. There's no point in deciding you want to be this or that if there are no jobs available in that particular area, so see what's out there and then decide. Being realistic, you're more likely to find a job once you've actually moved, but have a look anyway and see what takes your fancy.

Sorry about your mother's cat - I hope your Mum will be ok. I love my cat and would hate it if anything ever happened to him. It really is like losing a member of the family, especially if it's one that's been with you for a long time.

This girl at work sounds interesting. By interesting, please read "crazy". There's nothing wrong with crazy though. She sounds like a natural flirt and probably doesn't mean anything by it when she flirts with you. As long as it doesn't make you uncomfortable then just play along (without crossing the line, of course). I developed a good friendship with a girl who used to flirt with me - drove her boyfriend crazy, which was also fun as he was a prize tit! I say go get sushi with her and her boyfriend if you can - you may not be able to form a lasting friendship with them, but at the very least it will be an interesting evening.

Hey Mark

sounds like your having a difficult time sorting a job out, must be fruestrating when no one will give you any help. Cannot imagine trying to decide what to do, i'm glad i know what i want to do and have never had to think about it.

It's just really frustrating because I did know what I wanted to do. Right up until my final year...then it's suddenly like, "gee on second thought"

sorry to hear about your mums cat, is really horrible when they die like that, even if they are old.

Thanks, I talked to her today and I think she's doing okay for the most part, and I'm gonna go visit her tomorrow.

Sounds like your friend has unreasonable parents, but she is old enough to make her own decisions and should talk to them about it, though i know with some parents that just isn't possible, they think they can run their kids lives till they are married and even then some try.

Yep her situation is a mess alright! I spent the evening trying to cheer her up. I think she'll be okay though.

Anyway I hope you have a really great day! Take care

Hiya Rob!

Sounds like you've had an eventful few days. First point I need to make is about careers advisors. These are people who couldn't work out what they wanted to do with their lives and thus decided they would be perfect for advising others. Listen to their advice, then file it away in the shit-bin and think about what you want to do with your life. It doesn't have to be anything special right now, if you're thinking of going to grad school, but it should be something that interests you.

Thanks, I think you're right. Actually while I was sitting there listening I was thinking, "Ya know, I could probably do YOUR job" . I even subtly asked about the requirements. I'd have to get a degree in counseling....which was on my list as a possibility anyway, so ya never know lol.

My advice would be to go onto the websites and have a look at the sort of jobs that are available at the moment. If one of them interests you then apply for it. There's no point in deciding you want to be this or that if there are no jobs available in that particular area, so see what's out there and then decide. Being realistic, you're more likely to find a job once you've actually moved, but have a look anyway and see what takes your fancy.

I think that's definitely some good advice, thanks . I guess since I'm not too particular right now it does make more sense to look for what's available than to worry about figuring out something specific and looking for that. And I know it would be easier once I was already there...it's just I'd be more panicked then and freaking out.

Sorry about your mother's cat - I hope your Mum will be ok. I love my cat and would hate it if anything ever happened to him. It really is like losing a member of the family, especially if it's one that's been with you for a long time.

yeah , she found him when he was a very young kitten. Actually too young to really be on solid food , but he was a feisty little guy and just ate whatever was put in front of him (till he got old and finicky that is).

LOL you're right! There's definitely nothing wrong with crazy I actually didn't end up going out with them, but I do plan on continuing/developing the friendship

Anyway, I hope you have a great day Rob! Take care
