Beam me up a job!

Today I applied for a job at Star Trek. With any luck, soon I will be zooming across the galaxy in search of Klingon Blood Wine and blue women! What?! OK, actually I applied for a job at
"Star Trek: The Experience" in Las Vegas. Yes, the home of all-things-Trek is hiring an Admissions Associate . I guess selling tickets isn't the same as saving the galaxy, but I still think I would enjoy it. I freely admit that I'm a Trekkie. I'm not a MAJOR Trekkie... I can't name all 286 of the Ferengi's "Rules of Acquisition"... But I do know they exist.

The newspaper said they were hiring for a full-time position, but when I went to the Trek hiring desk (located backstage of the Experience), the sign said "part-time", so who knows? It was surreal filling out an application (and hacking my lungs out---I have a major cold) while various Borg, Ferengi, and other characters walked by behind me. Was it odd seeing Star Trek characters using the vending machines? Yup. Did I think it was awesome I had the chance to apply for a job there? Oh yes!

Interviews

I was in a job interview and I opened a book and started reading. Then I said to the guy, "Let me ask you a question. If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?" He said, "I don't know." I said, "I don't want your job."

Love or Money?

Why must I choose between living among family and friends, or living where I can have a cool career?????
I hate it!

I made it!

I have to keept this short... I'm using the wireless at a smoothie store. We just made it to Vegas! There were many trials along the way... including having to buy FOUR NEW TIRES for my truck (we blew out a tire at night in the middle of nowhere---New Mexico---can you say "desert"??), but damn it, I have arrived. Scott has been so great to ride out with me, and help me out so much. I will miss him most of all.

Well, the adventure continues... I still have no place to stay, no job, nothing here...

Wish me luck. Miss you all.

Leaving...

No matter how often I move, I still really hate saying "goodbye" to people I care about.
