Somebody, anybody, put me to use


I've been meaning to post and end the lull in blogging, but so much has happened in the past month I'd never be able to do it justice. In short, we've taken two trips to Portland -one for a week and the other for a weekend- and just Wednesday we went to the MTC to see Matt off on his mission to Salt Lake. Next weekend we're going to Las Vegas for Optimistic.'s Grandpa's 80th birthday. After that we should be done with traveling for a while until we go home again in August. The biggest news with me is that I am unemployed. Despite needing a job for these last six months I have found absolutely nothing, so if you hear of anything, let me know.The following is a list of things I wish I could put on my resume somewhere:

-I can make anything out of cardboard
-I can defuse any situation with humor
-I know how to make playdough
-Winner of best Halloween costume 2006 -dressed as a ham
-Winner of best Halloween costume 2007 -dressed as a side-by-side refrigerator
-I personally made all but two of my sister's art projects during her entire High School career
-Skit writer and ode composer for YW Girl's Camps 1998-2004
-I successfully planned for and hosted The Moppies (a formal award show for Facility Services staff) for two consecutive years
-I make delicious peanut butter chocolate chip cookies
-I know what "cheddar" is slang for
-Fact: I never show up late to anything
-Further fact: I never do a second rate job on anything
-Biggest fact of all: I'm awesome at everything I do and somebody out there should give me a job

I second everything you put on that list. Just in case you need back-up.

Have you tried Utah Workforce Services? Their website is jobs.utah.gov, and they were how I got my Ancestry job. And like 3 other job offers. I also got one job through the Kelly temp agency in Provoh. Another place to look is on Craigslist, but that's hit and miss.

Also,

If you want to work at the University of Utah library a guy in my department just quit and I'm taking his job so you can have my job maybe. Buuuut it's up here in SL and it pays so little it probably wouldn't even cover gas.


OH! And Singing Cicada posted a job on her blog not too long ago: http://singingcicada.blogspot.com/2009/05/assistant.html

Hope this helps. Good luck. I miss you guys. Annnnd, are you planning on doing a Canada Day party? Because that's totally coming up.
