chocolatepotSo I guess I'm rather late to the party, but boy does it feel good to realize that forfuturereferenceonly was a troll. (Or "roleplayer", as she puts it, but if your method of roleplaying involves copious interaction with people who are not RPing, you should probably own up to the fact that you're a troll.)
This dermatitis on the back of my neck is a pain. Every time I wash my hair it basically goes away (baking soda is recommended for rashes, actually), but then it gradually dries out and gets red again.
Why does Reddit show me text in kanji? For things like "reply" I mean. Does it do this to everyone?
My father honestly believes that I could get an admin job in a college, that I could then get an MA in something else, and that I could then use that MA to get a better job. L. O. L. I informed him that I am not getting any more masterses (unless I do that sweet Winterthur program, which I'm not, but if I were ... anyway, you need various prerequisites to get into MA programs, and I'm pretty sure anything STEMlike and supposedly profitable would not want me with an Anthro degree) but could maybe see myself getting a BA in something like accounting, but then said that I would hate getting and using said degree. Which made him laugh, because something something you can learn to enjoy getting paid $75,000/year, which, of course making more in a week than I make in a month would be great, but I'm am never, ever going to get to that point doing admin. Because I don't care enough to try, really, and I know, honestly, that that isn't going to change.
He just does not understand that it's not about sewing at all, "you can sew on the weekends" is not really a relevant answer. I would be so cool with a job that involved no sewing, maybe even left me no energy for sewing! (Okay, no, being that tired would make me sad.) It just has to engage my brain and be interesting. I loved working at the Chapman even though the costume collection was only about 15% of what I handled and I got no sewing done that I can remember while I was there. There is nothing in admin or accounting or whatever officey thing you can do that is going to engage me to the extent that I can be happy while doing it. And I simply do not have a setting between "like this job" and "dislike this job" labeled "can deal with this job". Well, actually, maybe if it were a non-"like this job" but I was in a room by myself and wasn't with other people constantly, then it would be merely tolerable.
Anyway. I'm looking for new housing again, after a couple of weeks' hiatus. Still can't even figure out where I should be looking, as I still want to move down near Albany but of course cannot do that without a job there and of course nobody responds to my applications ... but if I stay in Saratoga I'm going to end up with a lease and then I'm trapped. I just have no clue what I should be trying to do here.
And don't even get me started on furniture, because all I have is my bedroom stuff.

Date: 2013-07-09 11:50 am (UTC)Honestly, a lot of companies just see a Master's and go Oh, cool! Not all of them, mind, but a lot. Heck, my dad's Th.M. helped him get a business job at [major aerospace company]. So I wouldn't think it would be a *problem* on your resume.
I started my master's work at the very last minute: I applied to the grad school but got immediate acceptance to the undergrad, and took undergrad two classes for transferable credit the first semester while my grad application was being processed. It let me get an idea of the very basic things in accounting (I broke the curve on the first test) at the simplest level. It's not making sure you'll enjoy it, and working in a field is usually vastly different from school; but it might be an idea.
