So my sister thinks I am going Bananas. Perhaps…
It doesn’t help that the weather here in Southern California SUCKS! The last few weeks have been COLD, windy, overcast or rainy, etc for all except a few random days.
So I am a little cooped up…Whatever. Here are some lovely statistics that might give you an insight to my insanity.
Number of days since I (voluntarily) left my job, without considering that the end of the year might not be a good time to look for a new job: 102
Number of jobs I have applied to: 1,020 (rough estimate, assuming I applied to 10 jobs a day for 102 days. I could count since I have them all printed in my job hunt binder, but that would take too much effort)
Number of interviews I have had in this time: 13
Number of offers said interviews have yielded: 0 (including Starbucks, who emailed a rejection letter to me apparently when I was walking out of the store, so that it was waiting for me when I got home from the interview. I hadn’t even finished my coffee.)
Number of Temp jobs (in days) my 3 different temp agencies have managed to send me on: 7
Number of days I have been away from Southern California: 22
Number of days I have been cooped up in my apartment (Number calculated by subtracting days away, temping and interviewing from total days since I left my job): 60
Number of Days since I quit smoking: 73 (Yeah me!)
Number of Cigarettes I have had in that time: 0 (YEAH ME! No cheating!)
Number of colds I have gotten since I quit smoking: 2 (both in NY, Thanksgiving & Christmas)
Number of days it has SNOWED in Southern California/LA in this time: 1
Current scheduled interviews: 0
Current scheduled temp jobs: 0
Current scheduled trips: 0
Current number of social engagements whatsoever: 2 (shows with CONJOB)
Number of times this post was deleted before I got it published: 2
Outlook is bleak my friends…bleak…

Snow Dusts Malibu, Closes I-5: Is This L.A.?
Daisy Nguyen, The Associated Press January 18, 2007, 5:38 AM PST
A cold storm dusted parts of Southern California with snow, snarling traffic and closing highways, but delighting many residents who raced outside to quickly snap pictures or pack together snowballs before the unusual sighting melted away.
The fast-moving storm that dropped snow in the mountains above Malibu and left streets and lawns in Venice, Westwood and elsewhere covered with ice from hail on Wednesday was the latest blast from a cold snap that has kept California in an icy grip for a week.
The forecast for Thursday called for continued chilly temperatures, with lows in the 30s and 40s.The National Weather Service said the rare wintry precipitation was from an upper-level low moving through the region. Snow levels plunged well below 1,000 feet.
The dusting was an unusual sight for motorists on Kanan Dume Road in the Santa Monica Mountains where it's more typical to see beach-bound cars loaded with surfboards than a snowplow. It's been at least 18 years since some parts of the area recorded any snow.
Architect Doug Rucker was at his home studio located on a mountain ridge at about 1,700 feet near Kanan Dume Road in Malibu. He said snow was "bouncing like popcorn off my lawns.""I went out to take pictures of the snow coming down and after it landed ... It is kind of unusual," he said.
Jen Naylor, a Los Angeles native, rushed to her sister's house in Westwood, where the white stuff briefly accumulated in the backyard.Forecasters say that area was more likely blanketed with irregularly shaped hailstones called graupel that can be confused with snowflakes, but that didn't diminish Naylor's enthusiasm."This was the first time I made a snowman in L.A.," Naylor told the Los Angeles Times. "We used dried cranberry for the eyes and a baby carrot for the nose because it was a baby snowman."...
ummmmmmmmmmmmmm....It hasn't even snowed in NYC yet!
