Interview, OMGKITTENS

It’s been a very lazy few days. Yessir.

I haven’t worked since Thursday and have been sleeping a lot. Two of my friends had birthdays on Saturday–went to a sushi restaurant for Tami’s birthday, then went out on the town for Craig’s birthday. It was nice to do something that didn’t involve sitting and watching videos on the computer (though that’s always fun!).

I had an interview today for a cashier position at a local food co-op and deli. The interviewer and I got along really well, though she helped me realize what my resume is turning into when she asked, “So, I see here that you’re into forestry and whatnot. You’re not planning to pick up and move to some commune in Oregon or Washington, are you?”. I said no, but I’m a little surprised that something about me gave her that idea.

She wrote down all of the days I am working over the next couple of weeks, which I thought was a good sign. She said she needed to run my info by the General Manager and would give me a call back if everything worked out or if she needed to call a reference. I left, and she actually ended up calling me probably 40 minutes after the interview, saying she’d like to hire me but with my schedule (and the holidays) I wouldn’t be able to start training until after the new year. Now I just hope she remembers! (I’ll call of course, but still!)

I feel kindof weird because I found out that Noah (the ex!) is into hard drugs. I assumed the marijuana thing (which I don’t do, but it really isn’t a big deal if the guy I’m dating does as long as he still holds his life together and is making something of himself), but he’s into stuff a LOT harder than that. Had I known it from the beginning I would have never given him the time of day, because those are definitely complications I don’t need right now.

I’m a little sad for him because he can really be a nice guy and does have some potential. What can I do? I’m just glad things ended between us before it got very serious. And he had the nerve to preach to me about not screwing up MY life! Psshh. I feel a little bitchy because, after I found out, I basically told him he wasn’t good enough for me. Sure it’s true, but it didn’t necessarily need to be said so bluntly. He texted me referring to a “post coke binge” while I was out at the bar though, so I’ll blame my reaction on that.

If you are into kittens, this is the video for you (if you frequent cuteoverload.com you have probably seen it!):

Anyway, ok. Enough of an update for now. I have to work the next 3 days, 9 hours a day, so I’ll probably be pretty tired.

Eeek. Sounds like it’s a good thing he’s an ex.

Here’s hoping they remember to call you. That was an odd remark to make about your forestry experience. The doctor I work with makes a lot of odd assumptions about me based on the fact that I am vegetarian. Some of them are true, granted, but most of them are just waaaay out there. How sad about Noah. Oy. Here’s hoping he can kick the habit.

This is totally not meant to disrespect or belittle….but… Do you ever ask yourself how the hell you ended up as a cashier when you’re a college graduate? I ended up working retail at a ski resort and wonder that all the time.
