Kelly's little area.

Well let's see here now:

I started looking for a job a couple months before I graduated last summer, looking primarily i the UK because I wanted to stay there and get the all-important Previous Experience I'd need to get a job here. Plus I loved Scotland and just didn't want to leave. When I'd failed to land even an interview by the end of my course I gave up on the UK and concentrated my job hunt on the US and my little area in NC. I knew the economy was in the shitter and I'd need to stay wit… Continue

I voted early. On the first day of early voting actually. Not that it matters, but voted for Obama, and so did my mom, my uncle, my friend Holly, and my mom's friend Hollie. And I talked my friend Emily into voting Obama, too. Can't seem to talk my friend Jackie into Obama, but hey! Ya win some, ya lose some.

Jeez what a saga the last few weeks have been! So my mom got sick a few weeks ago, but being the stubborn, won't-go-to-the-doctor-unless-she's-dying female that she is, she waited for almost two weeks before she finally got me to drive her to the doctor's office. I had to drive because she was so weak from vomiting and diarrhea that she could barely even walk. So she goes to the doctor and gets all these tests done and I take her home and the next morning (31 July) her doctor calls me and says s… Continue
