The summer that wasn't

[rachg82]

Couldn't resist. Heh. Bonus points if you know which character that's from.

Anyway, so obviously I had my interview. Hence the skirt. Which you can't really see there, but whatever. Not the point. I'm not sure if I'll get the job--A. my stupid bus got me there five minutes late (it was supposed to arrive five minutes early, stopping right in front of the building. And I very nearly took the bus before that one just in case, but it would've gotten me there THIRTY minutes early, and for some reason that made me feel all anxious. Plus I didn't want to walk, because I was wearing blisterrific, fancy-schmancy shoes. SIGH), and B. there's always a chance they'll call my last two employers & find out how screwy my attendance was last year & decide against hiring me (when asked why I left my previous position, I seriously got creative with my wording. Heh. "The contract ended." Technically true, though! In a very, very literal way)--but I'm just reminding myself that at least I tried. Even if I'd done everything perfectly (which isn't possible anyway because "perfectly" is subjective), I still wouldn't be able to control the result. The worst that can happen from this is that I don't get a job, leaving me…unemployed…exactly like I already am. So, yeah. Obviously, I'm not pleased with arriving five minutes late, nor am I happy that my missing so much work last year tarnished an otherwise great history there, but it's not like I can go back & undo it. I just keep repeating "it's okay to make mistakes; you're never going to NOT make any" to myself like a mantra. Heh. For real though. I get so frustrated with myself sometimes.

I should find out within the next few days what's up. Fingers crossed that happens sooner rather than later, y'all. I hate uncertainty.

Moving on, here's some more rambling before I go:

-None of you answered my meme the other day. *disappointed mom face* Don't make me turn this car around!

-I took a nice, long jaunty woodland walk today after my interview, which helped me burn off some nervous energy. Now I'm fighting the urge to nap though. I don't want to mess up my sleep schedule again. It's hard being nocturnal![/first world problems]

-Clearly, weather.com is trying to tell me I'm a pussy. I came home from my walk, all "OMG, SUN, NOT NECESSARY," and checked their site to see what the temp was, and they had this article on the front page all, "Haha, Portland. Way to be fail with your non-summer summer." Er, yeah. I don't even care, though. Eighty degrees is hot if I say it's hot, yo.

-The first three sections of my fic are officially done. And I'm saying they're done so I can't go back & edit them anymore. Heh. CUT IT OUT, SELF. Not sure how many more sections there'll be, but yay for progress.

-I need Fall TV to be happening now, please. That, or I need money for more DVDs. I can only watch so much Cash Cab, people. If only they'd come to my city, then I could WIN money for DVDs. Heh. Genius.

And I think that's it. For my Vid of the Day, I feel like sharing a clip from one of my favorite comedians. She makes me laugh so hard, my stomach hurts, no lie.

Thank you!

[huh920.livejournal.com]

I hope you get the job bb!

How are you?

[rachg82.livejournal.com]

Thank you, hon'!

I'm doing okay. Just made myself a banana mango smoothie, which I'm kind of in love with at the moment. How about you?

[huh920.livejournal.com]

mmm That sounds so good! I'm Ok. Just getting ready to start school again in a few weeks. I miss you!

What's this BGA love month thing? LOL.

[rachg82.livejournal.com]

OMG, it is good. I can tell my blender and I are going to become fast friends. Next stop: chocolate banana station. Woo woo.

What's this BGA love month thing?

Hee. For me, an excuse to waste a shitload of time. Another one of the comms on my flist (for BSG) is doing one soon, too.

What classes will you be taking this fall?

[huh920.livejournal.com]

MMM. Chocolate banana sounds amazing too! LOL. Wasting time is fun though. Gets your mind off of other stuff!

I'm taking Accounting, business law, Spanish etc. LOL.

I think I'm going to try to create a faux Jamba Juice Peanut Butter Moo'd-type dealio. Chocolate, banana, almond butter, ice, and some type of non-dairy milk. Perhaps brown sugar and/or vanilla, too. IDK, I'm getting way too into this. Haha.

The best part about taking Spanish classes is watching Univision & trying to translate the soaps. Or maybe that's just me. Heh.
