Weekend update

Had a fun filled weekend. Went to the Science Center for Family Night that celebrated Star Wars with R2-D2 and a guy dressed as an Episode 7 villain. He came around without the costume and took our photos with a plastic stick in front of the camera to make it look like our light saber was lit up. They had contests and drawings. I won a Star Wars poster. Niece whined she wanted it, but I said no. It's going on my door when I take the scarecrow down. Niece and I dressed up as Jedi while nephew refused to wear his Darth Maul costume he wore a couple Halloweens ago. Weird kids eagerly dress up for Halloween a couple weeks ago and don't want to dress up for Star Wars. Next, my niece celebrated her 12th birthday at the Cheesecake Factory. She loved her gifts and we had chocolate cake. Got to announce my temp job is ending and the day before Thanksgiving, I will unemployed again. Not too concentrated on job hunting until after finals in a few weeks. Been sending out the occasional resume to never hear a response other than, "We received your resume and if we think you are acceptable, we will contact you." Did hear from someone I interviewed with 2 months ago. They had to tell me they hired someone qualified, but thanks for interviewing. Yeah, after 2 months, I already figured it out they didn't want me. Just keep on sending out resumes until someone calls. Signed up to take classes in the spring to gain 2 certificates and then no more classes. My brain is exploding from all this knowledge I never get to use cause I have no work experience. Niece will be having her baby in the next month so eagerly waiting for Christmas to hold the sweetheart. Very certain she/he will be born by then. I'm going to be a great-aunt. I'm going to be a great-aunt. Well, nothing else to report.

Happy Halloween

Spending my Halloween at home doing homework and watching Halloween specials. Hocus Pocus, It's the Great Pumpkin, and Ghost Adventures tonight. Last night I watched History Channel Monsters series and History of Halloween. Niece and nephew went out with their Mom while their father is running the NYC marathon. Kids thought my Mom or I should come to their new apartment and hand out candy. Had trouble explaining apartments don't have trick or treaters. I heard kids returning in the hallway, but nobody ever knocked on my door. I do have candy since it's a good time to get it (coupons and sales). Next week will change rooms at work. Some group needs out training so moving to another building. Some will go to home office and work. Still working on invoices and figuring out where to send them when they lack information. Yep, that is what I do all day for 8 hours, 5 days a week, Stare at invoices. For the money, I don't complain how boring it is. Other coworkers have left for other jobs, but I'm not looking too hard. I am focused on my associate's degree and passing my classes. Once finals are over, I will be more aggressive looking for work. Temp job lasts until Nov 30 and classes end Dec 10. Next semester I signed up for 3 classes (discovered 4 classes working 40 hours make me flunk everything so dropped a class to lose $300 plus book rental fee). Hopefully will get a Payroll Certificate to move up the ranks. All I have is hope of a better future. Well nothing else to report. I eat, sleep, work, and do homework. Cats feel so neglected.
