cornerofmadness: (halloween edwin2)
It's been a few years since I applied to a job. I didn't realize that even the transcripts had to be online. I will now be one day past the official considering period because I could send it right now with photographs of my transcripts but they're nearly illegible. I even dragged out the ancient scanner but it won't talk to my computer. That means tomorrow I have to go down to the school and get them. That's fine. I can do that but now I'm late. Fuck. FUCK. I could go now since it's nearly 1 AM and I'm wide awake and enraged with myself but I'm afraid the cops will show up when they see the lights on in my office.

I'm so angry. How could I have missed that? I even found them on an older flash drive but those scans are SO small, they're illegible.

And the doctor's appt I fought so hard to get has been canceled. So I now have tomorrow free. I'm furious. He has an emergency surgery. But now what do I do? I've been waiting months. I'm in so much pain. If I'm not seen soon I could be the emergency surgery.

At PT I'm about to be discharge and I'm WORSE than when I started. They think it's all in my back.

So tomorrow, wake up early, race to the school, scan this shit, send in transcript, race home make 4 different doctor phone calls.

I hate this life.


ETA - I just looked at the site. When it converted the photos to PDFs they became legible. I'm sending it now. If they want the transcripts redo, I can do that. They're hard to read anyhow.

I will say I really want this job.

I doubt I'll get it. There will be teaching at a master level. That means research ph.d. My doctorate is wrong.

I want this job. I would get to do cadaver lab.

I'm shaking inside at the thought of having to undergo tenure process again.

Two of the three people I asked for letters of rec today (one chair, one dean) told me they were going to tell them not to take me because they couldn't bear to lose me. (joking of course). It makes you feel good to have someone feel that way about you, to be told you are irreplacable. We all know that's a lie. I can be replaced but they might not be as good as I am or work as hard or make themselves as available as I do.

I had to stop looking at the job ad because all I can hear is 'you aren't getting this job.'

I want this job. Of course I wanted the Gettysburg Job and didn't even get an interview.

My head hurts and I'm scared of both getting this job or not even being considered.

I told them Lucky Uncle's wife is an IUP alumnus. Don't know if that matters but hey, school spirit.

I feel sick.

It's a superlatively grey, rainy fall day today, the kind that gets into the joints and makes them ache. It matches my mood.

HIM called me first thing in the morning. In a way it's good that my gastroenterology appt was canceled because in the process of setting up another one (in two weeks) I learned that Holzer STILL hasn't sent the damn records. I requested them via their idiotic new online system through a third party vendor and got nowhere. My primary physician did the same with the same results. The new clinic also tried and failed so last week I went in person to records. Told them what I needed and where it needed to go and signed off on it and what they did was tell them I had an endoscopy in 2007 and then asked THEM for records. OMFG. As I told the office manager at HIM, this is why I don't want to go to Holzer anymore in part. If they're not losing my stuff, they don't do what you asked.

Speaking of which they also aren't showing all my appts. Because i was looking at Holzer when I was speaking to Adena's orthopedics clinic and I can't tell when my endocrinology appt is. Gah. So... long story short my GP's office never sent the damn referral but I didn't need it (I'll be talking to her about this, believe me) and i'll be seeing him the day after I see the gastroentrologist who is now not Dr. Huh but the one I originally wanted to see Dr. Helgi Sigmundsson. This makes me unusually happy.

What didn't make me happy was was Mom's opening salvo of 'I saw your post on FB about the doctors. No one likes it when you complain all the time.' Sigh. I'm not complaining. I'm telling people what's going on in my life. There's a difference.

But I will have to really watch what I say on FB for the next several weeks in case I DO get an interview and they stumble upon my FB.

Other things that make me happy: concord grapes. I love them. Even if they do have seeds. That sweet sweet skin and the tart fruit underneath.Yum. Guess what I'm eating right now?

Please someone remind me I have a few dozen lipsticks I already don't wear and that I DO NOT need to go buy the Star Wars lipsticks from Cover Girl.

Meanwhile down here in Mothman territory, we have a new sighting.



And since I was too maniac on monday to post music, let's have a late music monday post. Still in the Halloween them.

My friend, Flippy, started sending me stuff by John 5 and while not all of this album has that Halloween feel, my favorite cut does 2 die 4. Also it has a couple of great punny titles like Gein with Envy (I bet some of you get it and it doesn't sound Halloweeny sadly).



And listening to Nox Arcana on Spotify led me to this Goth group, Midnight Syndicate.









And their collaboration with Destini Beard
