Its not so bad, Your only the best I ever had
You dont want me back
Your just the best I ever had

It might take some time to patch me up inside

I cant take it so I run away and hide

I might find in time that you were always right.

 

 

Today was great.  I walked downtown and this resturant had a sign for help so i called the number and walked in and had a job interview on the spot.  This lady said they are deffinately interested in me.  She said I'll be a hostess, work in the kitchen, and also her chocolate candy shop next to the resturant.  Thats great.  So she said she'll call me this week to get started and said if she doesnt call by friday to call her. I'm glad i called. Also contacted the school over here too to complete my 30 hours.  I do want to work at Camp Shiloh this year but I dont know if i get picked yet. and that takes away 1 1/2 weeks of work in august.  I didnt realize my pastor extended the childrens camp longer.  So, I may just sit in a classroom and complete that stuff for Nyack.  Get that done.  We'll see.  I just want to make as much money as I can so i can afford college all on my own like i've been doing. Anyways, i think today is completely beautiful outside today.  Its wonderful and I'm soo happy and content being here. :)

Do you remember the scene in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy first stumbles upon the Scarecrow? She is standing at a crossroad asking Toto which way she should go when the Scarecrow says "you should go that way" and points to the right. Dorothy thinks she is seeing things and looks away when he says, "of course, I hear it's awfully nice that way as well" and points left. This goes on, comically, until the Scarecrow has his arms crossed pointing both directions and leaving poor Dorothy hopelessly lost. Welcome to my day.

 

I know it doesn't seem a big deal to many, I got lost. So what? Well, I don't get lost. I just don't. I have an impeccable sense of direction and a good understanding of maps, distance, directions, etc. Which is why my getting lost today annoys the bejeezus out of me. Well, that, and it happened as I was on my way to a job interview: and I was subsequently late.

 

I got the directions off of Google Maps. Truly, I am a huge fan of these new internet mapping services, they are wonderful, and so much easier than a bulky map. Problem is....I guess they're not always right. This one was so far off--I first noticed intersections cropping up that weren't mapped. Then, an unexpected T-Stop. I used my knowledge and reasoned it out and made a turn. The correct turn. Then, when I was back on track with the map and directions: that's when it all came a-tumbling down. Somehow I ended up about 10 miles from my destination in the middle of nowhere, clunking down a dirt road, after following the map precisely. ARGHARRUMPH!

 

So I called and let them know I would be late and begged for some assistance and presented a first impression of a)not punctual b)unprepared and c)an imbecile--sure, that's exactly what I was aiming for. Sigh. I recovered well, made it into a fun anecdote and charmed the heck out of them in the interview...I know the image I left them was more like what I was shooting for. Still, it put a crimp in my day and left me with the image of Google Maps as a gangly, slightly-charming, stuffing-for-brains scarecrow out to steer me down the wrong path. Hopefully, the interviewers aren't tinmen with no hearts. Which I guess makes me Dorothy...now I need red shoes.

I'm going to a job interview today at 11. It's only 30-35 min away, and the pay is supposed to be $8/hour. It's in Cleveland, Which seems much further away than just 30 min. It's a company called Home City Ice. There are closer locations than the one in Cleveland, so I don't know if this is just for the interview, or if this is where I'm going to be. I'm nervous, this would be a good summer job, great pay, essentially 9-5, full time. I don't know if I'd enjoy it, but right now, that isn't important, the fact that I'm going to have a job and get a good amount of money is the most important thing. We need money for rent, to save up for a wedding, maybe a house, but more likely an apartment when we graduate and hopefully move to VA. I'm a little worried about having to work all weekends, I would like to sometimes do something with Steve. Go to an amusement park, one of our hometown little festivals, both of which are called the pumpkin festival. Right now, I'm just trying to get through my classes and the dreaded review. Yikes! I have to start getting ready, eat breakfast, cut Steve's hair, and gather my nerves. Wish me luck!
