job-seeking in my pajama bottoms

[hathycol]

Yeah, guess what I'm wearing?

So, I got up this morning, went to my job interview and... eh. I'm not sure how it went. I lied through my teeth for vast parts of it, and I think I impressed the owner but I'm not sure about the manager.

So, I came out to discover the next applicant was Xander, who I vaguely know as a fire-breather and all round cool guy. I was both amused and horrified because, well, argh.

I want a job and I can't get one. I am willing to bend over backwards for it and do pretty much anything, but I just hope this comes through. I'm looking around the student Job Shop, but it's actually a bit crap - I try going to it because it tells me to, then they send me a file, then the file makes me phone the JobCentre.

?!

I think I might swing by the JobShop later on today, but I'm going to do some work first. I have to do some bloody coursework, for a start. In the next three weeks I have two essays and three gobbets. Not of the fun, really, but I should get on with it.

I should also get dressed, as we are going out to Fife Park this evening to see if it's too bad. If it's not, we're applying there. It's fairly unpopular, and therefore we stand a better chance if things don't work out properly today with student support.

Hopefully.

I have quite a bit to do today in between job-hunting in, y'know, my pajamas. I have to rotate my drying (three t-shirts at a time over my radiator - the rest are left in a hopeful manner near the radiator) and do that coursework and also FINALLY DO MY FUCKING APPLICATION.

Tonight, I am drinking out of the emergency vodka, going to the Bop and getting WASTED because I NEED IT LIEK WHOA.

I want stuff to be sorted now, kthxbai.

[eta 2: Mildly TMI, to do with contraception, is amusing though, so uncut. Heh. Because of various reasons, like it's free this way, and easier, and hell, it'll control my periods, help my acne and also MAKE ME FAT but we don't talk about that, I am on the Pill. At least, I will be as soon as my body kicks in and lets me start taking it. In an attempt of procrastination, I just started to read the form that goes with them and I'm howling with laughter as it describe contraception.

If there is an 'egg' in one of these 'tubes', and a 'sperm' reaches it, you can become pregnant. This is called 'conception.'

Anyone who needs this made clear to them probably isn't likely to take the Pill, but there we are. Heh.

Anyway, this whole thing is sort of new to me (because, well, heterosexual sex! I never even thought about it as something that would happen to me!) and I am told by Katie that I will be the nastiest example of a human being for a month. I should use my LJ as a diary of this. It could be an interesting social experiment. Any ideas? Should probably filter it - because I'm sure you all don't want to hear the tales of Colleen's Experiments With Microgynon 30 - but, hmm. It is an idea.

Right, work!]

I was on the pill for years and it never gave me mood swings or made me fat or gave me cancer or anything. It didn't even stop my bloody periods (uh, no pun intended) like it was meant to, the bastard.

God, I hope mine sort out my periods. *is crippled in the corner with PAIN*

Dammit. Have once again lost your address. Please to send again so your package can go out.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Sent!

[jennnlee.livejournal.com]

Package sent! (Spent a few minutes with Mr. Postman going over the customs regulations to make sure what I was sending was legal. We deduced that as long as there weren't any live bees or horror comics, everything was fine. Customs are WEIRD.)

I take Microgynon 30. It hasnt ever had any bad side effects.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

This is a good thing. All I have for experiene in my housemate, who is angry ALL THE TIME at the moment.

I really ought to go on the pill but I am far too lazy & just know I would forget to take them. I think I want to get that thing they put in you & it's like a double hook. Less effort on my part.

I know someone who sets an alarm on her phone every day just so she remembers to take them at the right time. It doesn't seem to be too much hassle, actually - turn up at the doctors, they check your family history, check your blood pressure and tell you to come back in three months when the prescription runs out.

I'd hate to go on the coil. That just makes me shudder, but I know it works for some people. *shrugs*

We'll see, I suppose.

I think it varies somewhat. I think Jo was quite, um, moody, for a while after she started taking it...

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

This seems to be the general consensus.

Simon has been warned.

I volunteer you give us details!

If only to placate me should you become as evil and psychotic on the pill as I did. I had to give it up because I started breaking things. Like people.

*hides*

When I first started on the pill I had terrible moodswings, but after that it settled down pretty well. Also put on about half a stone, but that could have been my own damn fault :D
