Thursday morning... alarm didn't go off!!! My niece called me at 7:04. "Are you ready yet?" she asked. Wow! Good thing she called! I jumped up and got ready, took her to school... parked in a parking lot (loitering!!) and put on my makeup. Drove to the place... got there 1/2 an hour early. So I sat in the parking lot (loitering? again?) while the security guard watched me. I got out and prepped myself for the interrogation. It was actually fine. I was very proud of myself... hope they were impressed. I took the scenic route to work. I was switching stations cuz, of course, there's nothing good on at 10am. I stopped on Radio Disney... yeah, I know, but sometimes they have good music. I don't remember what I was listening to, but I had the windows down blasting Radio Disney, when one song ends and the next begins. It's Winnie the Pooh! He's singing about the clouds!! OMG, I couldn't change that station fast enough. I'm a single girl, in my 30's and I've been subjected to children's entertainment 2 days in a row!!
So back to KROQ (come on now, I gotta be normal) and drove to work. I sat in the parking lot (yes, again!) I think I sat there for about an hour before I actually had to start working. I called on another job (I have another interview tomorrow morning) The work day was actually pretty busy. Good thing, cuz I'm tired of being bored at work. I even went to the gym and enjoyed it!! The lady at this new job... it's a manual labor type job (2nd income) but I think I'd really enjoy doing it. It's a kennel, a labrador breeding place. So the lady told me, if I take the job, and I like it... I can "cancel my gym membership cuz it definitely gives you a workout". We'll see about that. So, if I took it, I'd work 7:30-11:00 there, then 12:00 - 9:00 at my other job -- M-F. There might be weekends involved as well. I'll be dead tired, but I won't be so broke...
So then:
I can afford to upgrade my cell phone that's dying by the second...
I can buy a new heater so my room isn't such a freezer...
I can pay all my bills so my (dying) cell phone doesn't ring at 6am...
...these are just a fraction of the dreams I hope to accomplish.
I still haven't booked that flight to NY for the end of the month...
...where's that $300 airfare coming from???
edit: I took the job... I work 8-11am Tuesday and Thursday and 4-6pm Saturday. It's fun, but tiring. There's lots of cleaning and sanitizing. Friday I got to work smelling & looking like a wet dog. I showered in the gym locker room at work, but my hands permanently smelled like wet dog. I don't know how many times that day I used hot soapy water, with hand sanitizer, with lotion. I ended up smelling like a lavender, wet dog. Yesterday wasn't so bad because it was dry weather, but my arms will start to look very big from walking 6 dogs once a week... not to mention walking my 65 lb hound 3x's a week...
And I have a second interview Wednesday with my friend's company... I kinda hope I get it, but then I'd totally have to change my hours with Theresa to "weekends only" and I don't know if she'll like that...
