A couple of favors from everyone out there in blogworld

first of all, i need a job. badly. i currently work as a nanny. a nanny with a bachelor's degree. there's a good reason for doing this, but things aren't going the direction they once were. so i need to find a new job. a real job. something that uses my fabulous degree.

so my question to all of you is this: does anyone have any good job leads? i've been looking at UT's job search (because i really would like to work at the university), city of austin, travis county, etc. my degree is in applied learning and development and my minor is in business foundations. what does that mean exactly? not sure. i will do basically anything.

second favor: my favorite band of all time, the flatcar rattlers, are trying to win a spot at ACL in october. the first round of voting ends today at midnight. please go vote for them! they definitely made it to round two, and hopefully when round three opens, you can go vote for them again. to vote, go to http://delllounge.com/soundandthejury/Flatcar-Rattlers/default.aspx

to hear some more of their music, go to www.myspace.com/flatcarrattlers

they will be playing at beerland in the red river district next friday, september 4th, and at jovita's on S. 1st on saturday, september 12th.

Bienvenu

Welcome to my newest blog. I've had a couple but decided it was time for a new one because a) my original blog is from my junior college days where the most important things going on were hooking up with baseball players and being angry that it was snowing, and b) my "regular" blog is on myspace and I just don't think everyone is myspacing so much these days.

Thus, The Chronicles of Jish was created ten minutes ago.

What exactly is a Jish, you ask? That's me. Or rather, the name bestowed upon me by my nephew Jaden when he was first learning to talk. He couldn't quite say Jess and it came out Jish. And the name has stuck. Now everyone, friends included, call me Jish. Jaden is now almost 6 years old and just started Kindergarten this week :).

This blog is intended to be a creative outlet where I can talk about things going on in my life, such as being a recent UT grad searching for a job in this crappy job market, or the constant ups and downs of my relationship/non-relationship with my ex. I will also delve into the world of fashion, sports, music, television, movies and yes, you will get to witness my 101 goals (which I started months ago).

So happy Friday, August 28, 2009 to all of you and this is the start of something beautiful.
