Much catching up to do.

I've been meaning to do a write up of the events of the past week, and kept putting it off. Well, since I need to work on my typing speed anyway..

Let the good times roll! )

Job hunt update

I have heard from three agencies that want me to submit applications. South San Francisco already has my application on file, the City of Pacifica, and the City of San Mateo will be mailed out this week. Monday, I need to go down to Manpower or something similar and get a typing speed certificate.. good vibes for hitting 40 WPM would be appreciated.

I also need to get an interview suit. Probably be checking the Salvation Army and Goodwill with [livejournal.com profile] kshandra and [livejournal.com profile] clairaide along to provide taste in my selections.
