Weird.

Maybe you should make an "I AM QUITTING" poster.

I've been biking everywhere this summer. It's great. I've noticed more and more bikes every year.

The greenway is expanding.

hey dude! how was jay reatard show?

how do you pronounce reatard

ray-uh-tar

so i come back from work and he is not here. as i am taking tomorrow off (for an interview!) i may just email him if this does not get covered by 5pm. i know that's unprofessional, but so is he, and i don't want to wait any longer.

*come back from lunch lol

Can you not just keep the job until you hear back from the interview?

i could... but i just don't want to be here at ALL. and want out asap.

Show was tight. The band was hard and fast and the music was really well-composed. Basically a string of two-minute epic songs strung together like a train. I don't know how much time I'd sit around listening to it, as far as personal tastes go, but I was very happy with the show.

Private Dancer had a really great set, too. They opened.

text him

You could try sky-writing.

i need a job

i am v v depressed about having to find one/s

We should re-arrange everything so that I can get a job and then I can pay you to watch my kids while I'm at work. This would save my sanity, but probably would destroy yours. Also, the commute would be kind of out of hand.

RR, have you started looking for work yet?

rr arent u a superpro waitress? yr accent + story alone is gonna make you superlikeable + supertippable

i wld watch yr kids, sara. i feel like i am babysitting anyway. also apparently if i try to use an apostrophe it opens the ctrl+f box?

sanity = GONE

oh man, sara, i worked in an under-5 childcare centre for almost a year - HARDEST JOB EVAH. will not do again!

i haven't really started job-hunting, just been browsing craigs list. don't even have a cv yet :( job-hunting puts fear and mad anxiety into me - i have zero skills (oh yay i can carry plates and take orders) and can't sell myself and am v v slow learner. i look at the classifieds, and i'm not just qualified for ANYTHING. and it's really upsetting to think i could be stuck in a profession that i hate for the rest of my life.

i'm thinking that it may be a good idea to get two shitty part-time jobs, instead of one shitty full-time job, as this worked out ok last time. will also give me more flexibility w/ hours and stuff. did not move all the way over here to work nights and weekends and never see my bf.

i emailed a printer guy that has a studio in berkeley, who me and jordan know from the bukowski boards, and he has offered to help me if he can and let me come watch him print. i just don't think any printers are going to hire me - weak-armed girl plus hardly any experience, in an industry that is struggling financially already (even without the economic crisis).

Going backwards -

first, definitely try to find a way to work with the printer. Your arms will get stronger, and you'll get experience.

Second - just having a job here will give you experience of some kind; money for now and references for future jobs = not a bad thing.

Third - don't worry about being stuck in a profession you hate for the rest of your life. You don't have to stay with what you start with. REALLY YOU DON'T.

Fourth - my kids are both almost over 5 (J will be 6 next month), but they will still make me crazy, it is true. I can't wait to send them back to school. (MAYBE I'M A BAD MOMMY, BUT WHEN THEY FIGHT OVER IMAGINARY STUFF, I JUST REALLY WANT TO SEND THEM AWAY)

tehresa, your sanity is already gone and it's only Tuesday? BAD

i could be stuck in a profession that i hate for the rest of my life.

please. this is america WE ARE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY if i actually thought i was going to stay in this weird/boring/sometimes shitty job/profession i'd go crazy too but it's not going to happen to me and it's not going to happen to you.

and yes sure looking for a job is difficult but nothing compared to visa/consulate interviews and all you've already gone through

yeah i guess but i have some serious weird bullshit phobia when it comes to interviews. that's why i waitressed at the same restaurant for 8 yrs.

ruby just being real if you go in confident the fact that you are girl + have sweet accent is gonna give you tons of cred

were weird like that here in america

yeah but the 'confidence' part is the part i'm sadly lacking. so embarrassing :/

thats too bad cuz anyone anywhere would kill to have you as their waitress srsly

some serious weird bullshit phobia when it comes to interviews

i totally get this, i do. maybe...practice? i don't know, there have got to be ways to conquer this. everybody's nervous when it comes to interviews.

you are girl + have sweet accent is gonna give you tons of cred

as much as it pains me to say it, deez is pretty otm here. just walk in with your nose in the air. act like the girls who wouldn't date me in high school!

i'm not sure if my waitressing stylee is gonna fly all that well in this country, either

????????

what is that mean rr?

have some CONFIDENCE

i get the impression americans want their waitresses to be nicey-nice and shit, and that's not really what i'm famous for...

Depends on the type of restaurant and the type of customers. The Bay Area seems like it would be the perfect place to find a not-nicey-nice waitressing job!

Yeah, I was gonna say.

Actually, RR, my sis might be able to provide you with some work leads. You up for high end supermarket work?

i was a checkout chick for four years in high school, and would rather not go back to that, but i may take you up on your offer. think i'm gonna try some of the cafes round here first.

and i keep forgetting to mention: since i've been here, i've cut down to one cigarette a day. still not ready to give up entirely, but i'm working on it...

Wow, one a day is pretty low. Especially at a stressful time. AMAZING!

good job, rr!

Morning all.

John - I got my hair cut in HSTNGS this morning (where I am RIGHT NOW). The lady who cuts my hair's mom is at Regina Nursing Home. I asked if she had run into your mother and my stylist RAVED about her. LOVES her. (So yeah, I think people like John's Mom)

I like John's mom know what I'm sayin'?

thats because my mom is awesome.

that response was for sara, you cad.

It's true about John's mom. (the nice stuff)

She also said nice things about John's mom's hair.

(which are also true)

Next I have to go to the dentist, where no one knows anyone I know, plus they insist on unpleasantly scraping my teeth and stuff. SIGH

Sequel to the thing I dealt with last week.

Ned, it's really interesting to read about your small part in all that, and I'm sure that Lindon's family appreciated what you did. They should! I hate to think of you agonizing over "should I have done that" last week.

I was wrong about knowing no one at the dentist's office; the lady who cleans my teeth is somehow related by marriage to one of my cousins. That sort of makes up for me needing a filling (ugh).

man day off is so nice. interview + mani/pedi + lovely lunch + coffee + window shopping + later going to see BATMANG. i wish all days were like this, except i'd go broke very quickly.

Sounds awesome! I am envying!!!
