shots in the dark
Update: To be brief no Crowne Plaza job (they sent me a letter, how nice), no Portabla (no letter, jerks). Whole Foods called me about a 'transportation clerk' job I applied for at random on their website. I took an 'ms excel proficiency test' and got called back today. I wasn't really even sure what the job was about. I went in for an interview (a 6 person panel interview. me: on three hours of sleep like a idiot) and I learned an important lesson: No Matter What, Do Not Tell The Truth at an Interview. "Where do I see myself in 5 years? Why working for you at this fine corporation, of course." "Do I know anything about US Department of Transportation regulations? Boy Howdy, I read from the USDoT Handbook to the old folks at the rest home I volunteer at." "Track marks on my arm? No, those aren't track marks." You get the idea. They really want you to tell them what they want to hear so you might as well not dissappoint them. My interview lasted 5 minutes (after waiting an hour & a half). Them: We don't think you'd fit with this position. Me: LATERS! -r

furniture porn 3000
I think I may be turning gay (if such a thing is possible). Yesterday I was casually browsing some internet porn to kill some time and I wandered upon some images and the first thing that popped into my head when I saw them wasn't "man, that chick is hot," or "yeah, take that biatch," or any of the other clever phrases that a normal, red-blooded american dude would first think. No, my first though was "man, that sure is a nice couch." Maybe I should lay off the porn for a while, I think I'm starting to get desensitized.

my favorite oblivion
This past week sucked.I managed to finish writing/editing 3 short screenplays for my screenwriting class in some 27 hours, slept a little, worked job, found out that I accidentally wrote our rent check on the wrong account (so the check got bounced and combined with late fees [b/c I didn't find out about the bounce for 10 days] for a total of $200, those bastards) & I got so mad that I kicked a hole in the wall. God I'm dumb. Some other bad stuff happened but I can't remember now so it couldn't have been that bad. Oh yeah, my car was all f'ed during this mess (which is why it took me 2 extra days to get the cashiers check for rent+fees [b/c they wouldn't take another check]) and that cost me another $300 -oy! But Prefuse was awesome awesome! The whole show was set up a little weird, but everything was cool when Herron and his live mate hit the stage. Stupid Portabla never called me, but I have an interview at the crowne plaza hotel so maybe I can start making up for all of this wasted time/cheese. And boy am I glad to be getting out of this place, well, except for having to repair that hole in the wall...pofn, rs.

god speed all the bakers at dawn
I've officially joined the ranks of the employed again, somewhat to my dismay. I'm not sure which is worse, looking for a job or the drudgery of actually having one...But my search isn't over. If I can find another job, I'm going to take it, bringing the grand total up to two. Job one is waiting tables at tres amigos the other hopefully will be at this other restaurant called portabla. I don't know what I'm doing or why I don't try to find something that is more in my line of study (film/radio/tv/media). I'm just going to work and bank until die this summer. No school. This semester has been ass. I recently turned in my project for production design. It was alright but I could have made it much better if I had given even a single ounce of damn. Which is a real shame because I liked that class. This is my mantra for this semester. Blah Blah whine whine. On a much happier note, I am going to see Prefuse73, Beans (of Antipop Consortium fame) and Grape Dope (who is a part of the Tortoise mafia) at emos on saturday. Woo Hoo!
