The foster cats that were formerly the bane of my existence are FINALLY gone... THANK GOD. They left on August 3rd... and what a glorious day it was. It is so nice to come home at night and to not have to brace myself as I approach my door in angst, awaiting the foul odors of the litter box that once upon a time, knocked me off my feet. It's so nice not having to spend $100 a month on cat food and litter. The nicest thing, is not having to vacuum cat fir off of my furniture every day though.... such a time saver. I have decided I never want another animal until I have a huge apartment, or a house with a back yard some day. No more litter boxes... NEVER AGAIN. I still can't believe I had those cats for EIGHT MONTHS... and they didn't even let me pet them. So sad.
I have three job interviews lined up for this next week, which is very exciting...hopefully one of them works out in my favor. I will try not to get my hopes up, since that is when my hopes get shot down. I have an interview for a visual merchandiser with Billabong (better bleach my hair and hit up the tanning salon), then I have an interview for a showroom assistant with a european designer, and finally I have an interview for a PAID (yes, you heard me right.... PAID) intern position with a social media/advertising firm that is right next to Highline. Something has to work out soon right? I mean I've been here for almost an entire year now and nothing has come along in terms of a better job. I'm at my fucking wit's end. I'm still applying like a mad woman on craigslist... it's just so difficult to not be a little bit selective when you've already been through the wringer as I have. I refuse to work any more service jobs (I'm sorry, I didn't go to school to be someone's cocktail bitch), I don't really want to work retail anymore, but if there is a chance for promotion or a chance to branch out into a more creative branch within the company, I suppose it is better than nothing (especially if it pays well). I really just want to do something creative- or at least something that will open up some doors for a paying, creative position. I'm really hoping that the social media internship works in my favor.
I'm in a happier place personally than I have been in a while, so now my 'professional' (as professional as it can get anyway ;) ) life needs some tweaking and I will be golden. I will leave you with some inspirational shit I've come across in the last month. I have such a love/hate relationship with this city (if you haven't already noticed)... but finding random scrawlings of drunk people or strange stickers is one of the little things I truly love. I wish so badly I could have gone home this weekend for my friend's birthday, but when I do get a chance to go home... I need to have a major end of summer party to compensate for all of the time I didn't spend home (like I originally intended to do at the beginning of summer).
"Good dick will imprison you." Were truer words every spoken? lmao.
This little gem I spotted while using the facilities at Johnny's Bar (aka 'Bar' Bar) one night after work. As you know, I went through my first major relationship and subsequent break up and despite the fact the break up was months ago, my ex has been dragging shit out trying to convince me to come back. There have been a lot of phone arguments, savage words (on my behalf) and some anger and resentment. However, in my tipsy state, I read this... and it spoke to me. "I'm ready for a man that's good enough for me or to spend the rest of my life living happily and looking for one." I don't know what drunk bitch wrote this... but she was spot on. Cheers to her.
One of my favorite shops in this city is a home/cookware store called Fish's Eddy, just outside of Union Square. They always have the coolest stuff... I must own this cheese plate. How cool would it be to serve cheese to your friends on a ceramic artist's palette?!
