Is it really mid-February already? Really?! I wish I had more exciting news, like " I got a job and ohmygod it's The Awesome!" but the most exciting thing that has happened to me lately is the boy I love buying me the new Vampire Weekend cd which rocks my face off and has replaced the Once soundtrack as my "always on my iPod" album...it's soooo good, although it does make me wish that it was summer..
Which, since this is all one tangent of tangents anyways, can I say. That not having a stable sense of employment, trudging from interview to interview and temp job to temp job is depressing enough but, literally only having eight minutes of sunshine during the beginning part of February makes it so hard, so hard to get out of bed and keep going. February is always like this, isn't it? One long slog through endless miles of slush....
I am slogging though....I have had countless second interviews for all kinds of places, from high end to kitty litter...Yeah, that's right I interviewed for a coordinator position at a kitty litter company. The interview took two hours (which is a lot of talking about litter in relation to booking travel and organizing invoices..) and at the end of it they gave me a litter removal system of my own (gasp!). The box was almost up to my weight and about 30 pounds, which I hauled through six inches of snow on and off two trains and eventually half carried/ half dragged up the four blocks to my apartment....What a parting gift, huh? AND I didn't get offered the job, which is like insult to injury, or insult after giving a large box to someone which caused them injury (for real my arms were sooo sore the next day!)..On the bright side Ms. Kitty and Ziggy (my step-cat-children) are happy about their new plumbing system, although a bit suspect of an automatic rake that sweeps their left behinds to a secret litter compartment - it must be how humans felt at first about indoor plumbing.
I'm temping right now, with an hour and a half to go until I can run home and be lazy....the best part of a gray February day.....
