What's a girl gotta do to get a full-time job in this godforsaken town? Who's *ock do I have to suck? JK... I had 'Black Swan' on my brain, and I love the crazy face Winona Ryder makes when she asks Nina 'Did you suck his cock?!' lol. Please see below if you really don't know what I'm talking about... you should know.
LMAO. I'm back to the old grind of job-searching after figuring that even the most lucrative of weeks at Highline Ballroom is not nearly enough to support the lifestyle to which I am accustomed (and by that I mean enough money to pay bills, buy food and the occasional bottle of wine, and some fun clothes... I really don't ask for much). I was really looking forward to my interview with Free People on Wednesday for a store management position, however my wake up call this morning was an email notification on my phone; the email said that they (the person in charge of hiring at Free People) were canceling my interview because they had filled the position. Why the fuck would they even set up an interview a week ago if they had planned to fill the position right away? I'm pretty sure they hired internally, but they could have at least followed through with whatever interviews they had already scheduled (including mine) to at least pretend to be fair. Any chance to interview is a good experience, and now I don't even have that... so discouraging. I have yet to hear back from either of the two jobs I am still waiting to hear back from, the respective interviews for each of those were a month ago and two weeks ago, respectively. I just wish someone would let me know that I didn't get the job (if that is the case) so I could come to some closure and move on. I've been searching for four months now with no 'real' job (an no, my part-time night job doesn't count as 'real'), to no avail. I just don't understand... I am smart, I have experience, I work hard, I was never late or called off sick EVER at any of my last jobs, I interview well, I am friendly, I just don't get it.... I should probably start looking into grad school now, because it seems I have no alternative at this point.
Today I received a membership card to sign up for AARP... for those of you who don't know, AARP is an organization you have to be at least 50 years old to join. WTF?! I am now wondering if someone stole my identity or if this is some kind of sick joke the world is playing on me because I've been so obsessed with getting older recently. I decided to treat myself to a romper I have been coveting on Nastygal.com for the past 4 months. It went on sale and was only $25 when I purchased it, so I am very proud of myself for waiting it out. It's pretty slutty, but you know how I like my clothes; short, tight, and/or see-through:
I missed out on going home this past weekend with my sister and brother-in-law, because I had work on Friday night when they drove upstate, and I positively refuse to EVER ride a bus again. I would really really love to try and make it home sometime around my Bday this month, because I really miss my family, friends, and pets. I am craving some nature as well; the windy city streets really piss me off. I think I almost got frostbite walking to Greenpoint last week. I spent my weekend alone, being fat and playing dress up. I don't know what is wrong with me, but I really enjoy experimenting with make up and hair. I wish I could be a new person every day... even if that person is a freaky-deaky Tim Burton character:
I think the blue hair chalk would have a more profound effect on lighter hair. But it's still pretty cool.
Looking more psychotic than Nicki Minaj...My arm and hand also look gigantic.
Sigh. At least I am the proud owner of a new coffee pot and a crock pot. I plan on making pulled pork later in the week, seeing as how I haven't had meat in a coon's age and definitely don't eat enough protein otherwise to compensate. I will leave you with some links to my latest article on Renegade Chicks and a link to the theater company I am helping plan a gala for. Do what you will with them.
