jenny_wildcatThere was frost on my windshield this morning. Plus, I was running late and I had to unearth my window scraper from under my backseat where it had become lodged quite snugly since January. And I hit the air-conditioning instead of the heater and I didn't notice until I was a block away from work and wondering why in the world my windshield wasn't clearing up more. Yeeeesssss, it is officially autumn (there was even snow in the mountains! And just last week, it was 70 degrees. I love Utah weather ^_^).
Anyway, yesterday I got on the help wanted section of the online classifieds and basically e-mailed/faxed/dropped off my resume to every listing under administrative assistant and even a few that said executive secretary. So far, I did get one reply. It was for a real estate assistant position that I sent off last Friday that I didn't think I'd hear from since the listing was kind of old. But I now have an interview of sorts on Thursday (eeee!!!) The best part is that it's only four and a half blocks down the road from where I work now (yay for short commute!) Wish me luck!
Today was the monthly company lunch and fun little activity, which this time was a paper airplane flying contest. Once the ALMIGHTY UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT *insert thunder and lightning* finished his speaking from on high, we gorged ourselves on pizza and showed off the various creative paper airplane making talents. I didn't enter, but I just watched everyone else fly their creations. Someone actually built a model of a 747 with a space shuttle on the back (the shuttle was detachable). It was pretty cool - so pretty that they never even flew it. Well, it was fun. But I'm a little peeved because I just met this really good looking guy from IT (he's actually the one who built the Boeing) and he was really nice and funny and... gosh, he's gorgeous. And I only meet him the last week I'm here. I have no manner of luck in the world. Besides, he could be dating/married for all I know. But he's soooo nice to look at... *sigh*
After lunch, though, an e-mail went out from my boss that announced that this was mine and one other lady's last week and there's going to be a big send-off on Friday. I was kinda hoping to keep things on the down-low and make my quiet exit into wherever life takes me. Oh well, it's nice that they want to have a little party for me.
One more thing: one of my co-workers asked me if I'd read the "Twilight" series by Stephanie Meyer. I told her I hadn't and she told me about it. At it's basic level, it's a vampire love story, but she said it was pretty action-packed and there's more to it. I'm intrigued, but I'm wondering if anyone else has read it and what they thought of it.

But of course do it in your own way. Looking will only get you so far.
