Winifred Sackville Stoner, Jr...and no, that's not a pun!

Go go, my pets, and shout it from the rooftops:

"The normal child is allowed to grow like any animal until he reaches a prescribed school age, and is then sent to school to have his surplus energy taken out of him and to learn how to walk, talk and act like every other boy and girl. Is it any wonder that there are so few really brilliant people in the world?"

"I for one believe that every right-minded Government should provide food and shelter for geniuses who have proved their worth. The temperamental genius loses his inspiration when he must think of filthy lucre and shoes for his feet." Which is certainly why I'm having such difficulty writing this screenplay. Well, that and I really like the family I've created, and I'm sad to have to make zombie holocaust devour them.

I'm just trying to deal with the crushing defeat of not finding a job, coupled with the crushing defeat of seeing myself on a TV screen. As I may have mentioned, I often go thru life kidding myself that I "don't look that bad" when in actuality my size is keeping me from getting some of the jobs I want. Sure, that's illegal but what am i gonna do about it, realistically. I know I've been really down on myself lately. I've been complaining to anyone who'll listen, which seems to be less and less people all the time.

In better news, I've worked on a new resume which is one page of super concentrated Wednes expereince. Hopefully this will help me get one of the slew of receptionist jobs I'm going for this week. And fflo do let me know if you are free for any (week day morning or afternoon) time to scoot me off to apply in person for some local gigs. There were like, 8 jobs on Mlive today that I'll be folowing up on this week. Plus I sent a thank you card to the guy from Q16, and included some cool marketing ideas like we'd talked about at the interview.

On the homefront, I think our upstairs neighbors are still trying to learn how to juggle bowling balls. By the sound of it, they are not very good.
New Dead Zone tonight, kick ass!

But the neighbors on the side are apparently very open. Their shades were open and K got a glimpse of some blond chick in ber birthday suit. It sucks because she has now appreciation of such things.

Yeah, Ryan said the same thing.

The guy upstairs is such a freak,
for five years now there's been a leak,
what does he do up there?

Nothing quite like that particular bass line and lyrics running through your head on a Monday morning...

Oh, I know what you mean about that realistic understanding that, even though it's both illegal and WRONG, many interviewers and decision makers must be equating fat with "bad" in one way or another, or several, costing us at least some jobs we would otherwise get. You just know it. How could they not? It's cultural programming. Even we fat folk can't resist the association, and we oughta know better.

I fear my weekday schedule is a little tight, but this week I'm free after 3:30 on Thursday, and could also do early Wednesday, so long as I can be downtown for work at 10:00. Just let me know if you can work in interviews in those times.

Will do.

I'm not going to dance around this because it's me.

I know you are uncomfortable with how you look in the movie. However, I knew, going into it, what you looked like, and I don't think it's a problem. You look like yourself on the screen. It may be upsetting to you, but what is on the screen is what we see. It's how we see you. I know that may not be the best news for you, but those of us watching the movie aren't surprised at what we see. We see you. The same you that we have been friends with for years. I don't want you to be sad, but I don't care what you look like either. I never would've put you in a position where we were making fun of you. Unless you knew going into it, and we aren't planning on making fun of the way you think you look in the movie. I think you look like Wednes, and that's what I wanted.

Besides, you are great in it.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know all that logically. I just needed to vent.

[uterdic.livejournal.com]

Oh sure, I knew that too. I was just trying to be supportive.
