Full Day
I'm not going to get the job from yesterday. Everything went well, but they have some policy about having your degree before you can teach a certain amount and I am not going to graduate in time. They said they would keep me in mind for the spring. It's kind of a relief, actually, because if they gave me the job it would start on Monday, and that's pretty quick to come up with an entire course. And if they do actually call me in a few months, then hey, that's terrific.
I got my first ever ticket last night. For what, you ask? Wait for it.....For not wearing my seat belt. As violations go, I think that's pretty not severe. Not speeding or running a red light (although he could have given me one for not stopping "properly" at a stop sign, but he let that go), but for endangering myself when I was making a right turn in a neighborhood at the breakneck speed of 10 mph. If I was even going that fast. But officer, I wasn't actually going anywhere; I was moving my car to the alley so my friend could break into her own house! I'm going to be late for the movie! But there was no explanation, no chit chat, no didn't you see that stop sign, or do you know it's the law to wear your seat belt. He was more like a robot spouting out my "infractions" and not worrying about anything else. Oh well. I didn't really feel like explaining myself anyway. But I wonder how much this is going to cost. Would he have still given me a ticket if he knew how broke I am?
I did make it to the movie. I missed a bit of the previews, but not the movie. And after I went to a coffee house with my friends, and realized on the way there that I didn't have any cash, so they had coffee and I just sat there and talked while the people around us annoyed the crap out of me with their sheer stupidity. I also got my work schedule for next week, and there is again a severe lack of shifts in my future. Not good. Partly because I need the money, but also because giving me lots of free time could be hazardous to my health.
I'm hoping today will be better. Not that yesterday was bad, but it could have been better. I'm sending in an opera audition form, mostly just to see what happens. I saw how much tickets cost, and figured if I could be IN the show, not only would I not have to pay for tickets, they would actually pay me to be there. What's there to lose?
Interview #2 is today, and I am again faced with the dilemma of what to wear (or what NOT to wear). I'm going to try to find some time to paint, since I've been kind of slack on that, and then I'm going to the magnet high school for the film premiere(s) of the girls I taught. It's going to cost $5, which means I'm going to have to stop by an ATM today. Yep, not even five bucks in my pocket. It's pathetic.
So another full day of not working, obsessing, and running around like a crazy chicken.
