i remember why i hate mopeds and the little blonde people that drive them today. i was in the bike lane on university ave @ murray st. and a lil blonde girl on a big ass moped scoots perpendicularly into the bike lane and practically runs me over. she was literally about an inch from running my birkenstock-clad foot over with her moped before i came to a complete stop and almost flipped over my bike. all she could do was say "sorry...sorry...sorry" as she scooted on her moped over to vilas. i was ready to start bitching at her but she was gone. why do moped drivers think they can go anywhere - bike lane, sidewalk - they want?! and do people really need mopeds?

i'm bitter, but at least my feet are intact.

anyway - 5 weeks and 2 days (!!!!!) till graduation. still no job. have a few prospects, i'll be applying for jobs in boston, nyc and dc. i need to get out of madison for a while. summer will be busy, with a job somewhere around here that pays lots and doesn't require lots of hours (riiiight - still looking for that one) and lots of sailing and sitting on my pier (yes - my pier). it will definitely be interesting to see what happens - i've been slowly drifting away from friends for various reasons. i'm expecting more drama or none at all. and at this point i'm not sure which way i'm leaning.

good luck w/ everything leading up to graduation ... and, of course, everything after! :)

so, what kind of jobby job are you searching for? besides the one that pays you to eat ice cream ... that's the kind of job i'm looking for. :)

mostly research-type jobs in psych departments at universities, for the time being. the problem is that there is so little money for research assistants now.

i did have a job where they paid me to eat ice cream once. well they didn't really pay me to eat the ice cream, but i figured i was entitled to a bite here and there since i was scooping it so much. :)
