Thank you Yahoo for once again letting us know what the highest paying jobs are for kids graduating out of college are.
Unfortunately, unless you are mechanically minded you're screwed. :)

Officially
I am officially, gainfully employed. I was offered my temp job about two weeks ago.
After I had decided that I was going to Boston...finally. I had nothing tying me down here anymore.
Once I told my boss I was planning on leaving in a month I got a call that night with an unofficial offer, and another call the next morning with an official offer, with pay raise.
So I tossed and turned over my decision.
Some may think "What's to decide? You got a job in this forsaken job market. Don't be stupid."
Well I was relishing the idea of doing something stupid for once, stupid in the sense of irresponsible.
But I have taken the job. I have done the responsible thing once again. If I didn't have student loans I would have been out that door and on my way to Boston. Ah, but the price of education.
So here's to hoping that this is the right decision and a happy one at that.

Decaf Espresso
What is with decalf espresso? Seriously. Doesn't that "decaf" part defeat the purpose of espresso?
Granted there is still some caffiene in anything decalf.
But isn't the purpose of espresso to give a person a jolt of highly concentrated caffiene? I thought so.
Sorry just a mini rant.

Oh So Bored/Web Comics
Work is very very slow right now.
I seriously had maybe an hours worth of work so far today and I've been here since 8:30 am. It is now 10:30 and I have to be here until 4:30. Oh poooor me.
What bothers me the most is that it is such a beautiful day out today, an actual real day of summer, when it has been raining so much for the past few weeks.
So I'm being fidgity, looking for things to do and reading comics. I forgot my book again.
Here's a couple web comics that I keep track of. They're really good
Girls with Slingshots
Anders Loves Maria
I really owe the credit to my boyfriend for introducing me to these.
Happy reading

Now for Cover Letters
Last post was just a quick link for resumes. This link below is for the daunting cover letter.
If anyone of you are like me, the cover letter is probably the toughest part. I reworked my cover letter last night and pretty much edited out the whole thing and started over.
Now if you're lucky enough to have a great brother-in-law (or other relative) like I do who reads these things for a living (among other parts of his job) then you're in a good spot to have someone help you edit (Thanks Andrew).
If not, this link might help. I know it helped me rethink a lot of my cover letter last night.
Click me! Click me!
Even if you don't have someone who is excellent at grammar and placement of sentences, find someone to check it over for typos at least. It's easy to miss them when you know what you think you wrote and just skim over the mistakes.
