Ring-a-Ding-Ding [23 Aug 2007|07:27am] [ mood | karma's a bitch ] I lost my fucking phone on the bus to work. Now I need'a wait for the MCTS customer service lines to open so i can be all "wahwahlostphonewahwahgiveitback" Because you know, they're probably hiding it from me. Massive conspiracies, I tell you. In other news Best Buy is selling every season of Buffy at $15.99 each, even on the dot-com. FUCK ME HARD. I really do love my life sometimes. I think this is karmic balance for losing my phone... or maybe losing my phone was penance for the Buffy... the world may never know. Train to Chicago tomorrow with Michelle to check out her awesome new job at Digital Kitchen. Go you Huskies. post comment

An Argument for Darwinism [22 Aug 2007|08:59am] [ mood | ss beagle! ] Well folks, it's official: I received my formal promotion yesterday, and have accepted it today. I am now clawing my way out of that murky title known as "freelancer" to those like me; "glorified intern" to everyone on the outside. Im chipper about it. Despite the fact that I have long since lost the abilitiy to display emotion facially, I am confident that those working with me will notice a distinct elevation in my mood. When once it lingered lazily at 48.3% satisfaction, it will now skyrocket to 52.1% satisfaction, and then plateau at a blissful 53% satisfaction rating. This is intense. I hope Kohl's Corp. will be able to handle the new me. But seriously, this is a big step in the right direction. The big dip in pay (think $14K dip), will be worth it. I am now entering that wonderful world that so many currently enjoy: The Insured. I was looking over my benefits package with people who, unlike me, would actually know what all the numbers and jargon meant, and supposedly it's worth it. Essentially, all I was able to take from the conversation was: small deductibles = good. Also, I guess their 401K Policy (another concept that is completely so far beyond my mental abilities) is excellent. Everytime I hear 401K, I still always think it's some kind of farming club. My official title will be: Advertising Designer: Beauty, Accessories, and Fine Jewelry. Basically, I have the gayest job in the whole Corporation. I have, however, managed to lose a document that im assuming was very important as it had to be signed by a few different higher-ups, and I think by me as well. Urrr... I've said it before, and I'll say it again: It's amazing that I've managed to stay alive and functional for as long as I have. If we were 500 years in the past, I would have been dead before I got out of diapers. Possibly before I escaped the womb. However, if this truly were 500 years ago, I would never have been born as my mom would have been stoned for some sort of wrong-doing, Im sure. EDIT: Alright, turns out I did not lose the document. It was in a manilla envelope sitting neatly on my desk. In my defense, though, I was looking for white sheets of paper and NOT manilla envelopes. Darwinism still applies. Friday Im in Chicago. Disneyworld Dec 31 - Jan 8. Love me. post comment

Fancy meeting you here. [20 Aug 2007|07:24am] Oh man, look what I found. I think my last update was two years ago. Sooo...uhhh... remember that one time I had an LJ? Oh shit. So, want the fastest wrap-up of the past 2 years of my life? Ready? Set...? GO. I just graduated from MIAD with a BFA in Communication Design and a minor in Ad/PR through Marquette where a group and I won a national advertising campaign for Coca Cola Classic until the win was taken away from us because our instructos felt our campaign was too "risky" but it doesn't matter because we still got the A even though my group's account exec. cried for a few hours and I told the instructors that their school was a "three-ring fucking circus" but honestly I didnt care so much because i was carrying 18 credits (including my thesis, a retail concept for an organic clothing store) and working 40+ hours as a visual merchandiser for the milwaukee district of forever 21 stores (which i quit sephora to do) that ended badly in ways that involve deceit, betrayal, and pregnancy but that's okay because i got hired right away as a makeup artist for bare escentuals but that only lasted a month because i got fired for sexual harassment as well as missing a few days because i was able to art direct the MIAD senior exhibition with stephanie tank around the time i broke up with the boyfriend i had for over a year that i met on myspace who's a film guy out in LA and he was really cool and we saw eachother a lot but i had to break it off when i realized that i didn't want to move to california but we're still friends even though we don't talk that much anymore which leads me to where i am right now working as a concept designer for kohl's department stores at the corporate hq which is really cool because a) it's an actual design job that requires a degree and b) im making fat cash which has enabled me to get my own apartment in milwaukee where i still currently reside, volunteering at the lgbt community center. Done. Did I mention the parts about my family including identity theft and jail? No? Hmmm... maybe next time. That's where Im at, folks. 27 comments|post comment

[30 May 2005|07:06pm] [ mood | shibuya superstar <3 ] [ music | Easy Breezy, Utada ] I was watching the video for "Hollaback Girl" while running last night, and a scathing thought came to mind. Those Japanese girls probably aren't even from Harajuku. They're like, from some other horribly less-fashionable district... like Ryogoku. Or better yet, they're Korean-American. Now THAT shit would be bananas. b-a-n-a-n-a-s. 12 comments|post comment

[08 May 2005|09:12pm] I just joined _my_umbrella. It's another rating community, but it's different. Take a a look at it. PS: Only in the Zylka residence does Mother's Day dinner mean getting drunk on Brandy for all involved. Mmm. I feel deliciously mellow. 5 comments|post comment
