I finally got a job! In the end, it didn't take that long... between 2 and 3 months of crazy e-mailing. I actually think that I sent so many CVs that they could be considered spamming. In my case, the most important thing was to get an interview. After that, it wasn't that big of a challenge because I'm good at BS'ing and people in general ended up liking me.

It came down to 2 positions: ''Assistant R&D Scientist'' (which was actually more of a regulatory affairs postion) in a dermatological company and ''Project Manager'' in a medical market research company. The assistant position was a bit more interesting and bilingual, but it was far and apparently paid a lot less. When I told them of my offer from the market research place, they said there was no way they could compete in terms of salary. So, I accepted the Project Manager position. It's downtown, and the pay is decent. I had to do extensive interviews with different people AND pass some tests for both jobs.

I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to do as part of my job as I'm still learning. I just started 2 days ago. I still don't have a phone and computer on my desk. We seem to check medical surveys and compile data. After, we put together presentations detailing the results. Although my title has ''manager'' in it, I don't have any people under me. At least, I don't think I do right now... although I do get to boss graphics specialists around since they are the ones puitting together power point presentations for me.

I'm also still doing my Weather Channel job. I have to keep it since I'm going through a 3-month probation period at my other job. This means I'll be working 7 days a week, and on 2 occasions the work will be at night. It sucks, but oh well... I guess I'll just keep thinking of the money.

Working at night is strange. It's like one of those movies where lonely astronauts slowly go crazy on isolated spaceships. Weird thoughts crowd in my mind. I go through all sorts of unjustified emotions sometimes. One minute I feel depressed, the next I'm happy. Many times I wonder what Dave's doing... often imagining devastating scenarios in which he cheatin' on me. I must be insecure... or maybe it's simply due to the fact that I don't trust him. I get really sleepy between 4am and 7:30am because I don't have much to do. Add to that my current allergies, and you got some veeery crappy night shifts. I just finished a 5-minute sneezing session. I'm all tears and snot...

Miss my Davie. He's coming next Friday, and he'll stay for a whole week! WOOHOO!

Tomorrow, we're getting a new fridge and a dishwasher in my new appartment. Cool.

I've moved out. I'm living with a roommate now. It's more peaceful than home. I have all sorts of other worries these days, like what to cook and finding places that sell cheap things. Unfortunately, I still haven't found a job and I don't have much to do during the week. I still apply and apply... hopefully another inteview will come my way. After my first, which seemed to have went quite well, I of course received a rejection letter. Dammit.
