I have my first real job interview in almost 8 years tomorrow. It is at an adult day outpatient clinic affiliated with an inpatient psychiatric hospital. I have not heard back from LA County DPH about my Main Street job offer so I'm hoping something will work out.

I had a post.

Today was my last day at USC.

My last day of school is May 1st. My last day at internship is May 2nd.

I'm graduating in six calendar weeks.

I need a job. I've been putting my resume out everywhere, and then last night I realized I left off this HUGE piece of what I do here at my placement...so I have 80 printed resumes that are craptastic. Do you know anywhere that is hiring an almost-graduated social worker with kick-ass skills that is willing to pay around $50k/year? If you do, send them my way. I'm willing to move.

Aaron's health is doing well. We'll find out soon if this cesium stuff is working.

My tea is ready and my 10 o'clock is almost here.

What have you tried in life that you just weren't very good at?

Drawing. I've never been talented at it. I took an art class in 9th grade and even my teacher was happy when I dropped it to be a T.A. for a different class!

That I will ever be 27. My birthday is this weekend and normally I'd be a big ol' birthday whore but for some reason I'm not feeling it. Maybe it's just the day today, or my exhaustion from last week (midterms) and this weekend (dancing and clubbing), but right now I'm just feeling like a big old pile of "eh."

Friday is dinner with my parents and Erin, Thomas and the kids. On Saturday Aaron is taking me to Pizza Mozza, which is a Mario Batali restaurant. I am SO excited to go, I've been wanting to go for the last few months, but a lack of cash has kept us home. This time we are saying eff it and will go. I'll let you know how it goes.

Then Sunday (which is Easter) we are hanging out with his family at the lake. I'm finding it massively hypocritical that we are doing this. First of all, we're hanging out with the JW's in Aaron's family. Second off, we're not celebrating "Easter," we're having "family day." I mean, WTF? If you want to get together on holidays but don't want to say you're getting together on the holiday, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of not celebrating holidays? It's fairly fucking ridiculous if you ask me.

I only wish I could say that this is the last Monday I was ever going to be frustrated/annoyed/bewildered by my in-law's.

What compliment are you most often given?

"You're so strong"

RE: my incredibly difficult life circumstances (hubby w/cancer, graduate school, alcoholic parents, sick dog) and my tenacity to get through it all with a smile and without having a nervous breakdown.

In case you found me from Hilly's, here are six quirky things about me.

You crash your friend's car because you're driving too fast in bad weather. Everyone's okay, but the car has to go into the shop. Who pays the deductible?

This happened to me.

My friend was driving. My friend paid the deductible. It's the right thing to do.
