blogging at work...tisk tisk...bad gina...oh well =)

so how is life back in the states? just been interviewing and sitting in days at different places. got sick for a bit but im pretty much all better now.

last week worked at a cpa firm...hated it...they offered me the job though...said they would consider paying me much more than they originally offered...but too bad...they were mean people...lol...no...it just wasnt my type of office environment.

now im at a property managment company. they are great! im considering taking this one. i like the people...and i actually have quite a bit of responsibility. two or three more interviews lines up. then ill have a job for the next year or two? how scary...

gotta catch up on my movies and tv! the girls have been coming over to watch sex and the city =) and working on an 1500 piece puzzle...we're lame...yes. i caught up on northshore and its finally getting good! and as embarrassing as it is...summerland is even getting good...haha...ugh...havent caught up on that yet. watched spiderman on saturday then went clubbing at a club i will not name cuz its just TOO embarrassing...but kennys gf was going back to singapore so went out with them. quite and interesting night...entertaining =) <who are you?> sunday watched manchurian candidate...it was alright...really HEAVY...but i thought the acting was fantastic...then last night watched fahreheit 9-11 with erica...i hope she gets all political...that would be tight...

the chick that i work with said harold and kumar is the greatest movie ever...so i think thats next on my list...boss is back!
