New Years Resolutions and other things to break

So in keeping with my New Years Resolution that I decided on the beginning of December and then promptly forgot/ignored, I am going to start keeping this thing real... if only to get me in the mood to write about the Real Real World DC (what do you get when you put 3 Brazilians and 2 Americans together in a house in Del Ray!) and my island alter ego.

I applied to 2 jobs today. That was good. I do not enjoy writing cover letters and the more I want the job and/or am qualified for the job, the harder it seems to be. So then I just ignore the job and seek out other positions for which I am wholly unqualified for and/or have no interest in doing for longer than say a day. I do enjoy when they say they are looking for people with certain attributes. I also enjoy when ad's are poorly written or have grammatical errors. Those tend to be the ones asking for writing samples. Maybe they are looking to replace their position ad writers...
But heres a gem: "Competencies to perform job successfully, an individual should demonstrates the following competencies:"
And then they go on to list things like dependability, and quality, initiative, and problem solving. How do you address those things? I problem solve all the time. Like today when I didnt know what to have for lunch, I addressed the problem, identified solutions and then made a decision.

I would have a drink to celebrate my applying to 2 jobs, or to mourn my empty yahoo job applying inbox, but we dont have any coke and we have this handle of captain that is just staring at me.

In Real Real World DC News, C and L went to Costco today and bought food. I love food day. They also bought milk. I am readying myself for the milk wars that happen every month. We all seem to lean towards 2% milk, except for S who will not drink it. Also since all he eats is cereal and everyone else uses milk for cooking, his milk tastes seem to be a little more pertinent. Except I am the only one who knows this. And so he will go out and buy A & D milk. And then L and G will complain, and possibly C too, why did he go buy milk. We already have milk. Now we have too much milk. And they will sit and discuss the milk issue like old woman gossiping at the salon, but will never ask S why he bought another thing of milk.
