I started job hunting (as evidenced by old blog entries) really early this summer. In fact, a few days after school got out. Unfortunately, the jobs I applied for are all unresponsive so far. Dunkin Doughnuts, Staples, Kohls… I mean, my dad told me to apply to these places for easy retail/service work or whatever. But I thought hey, I’ve got skills, why don’t I just use them? Programming stuff beats serving coffee or showing people the paper aisle. So I went on craigslist and looked under “internet engineers,” then under “design.” So far I expressed interest in 5 different jobs, all listed within the past 2 weeks…hopefully I get to try at least one. They all want XHTML/CSS designers which is my strong suite, and maybe if I’m lucky I’ll get to design php/mysql.

My dad got sent from the surgery hospital to rehab today. He’ll be there for 2 more weeks, then home to rest for like 6 months. That…is gonna stink. But yeah, pretty good overall. I’m happy he can sort of walk now, with a walker at any rate.

I have to drive my brother to Ranney every morning now…I really don’t see the point. Esther and I never went to Ranney or anything like that. The closest thing we’ve been to is this kumon-type summercamp but that was just 1 year…I was like in 5th grade or something. Eh, whatever. Different strokes for different folks.
