Someone Hire Me!

So remember how yesterday I was kinda down in the dumps. Well, today, from 10:00 til right now (4:36) I have been doing nothing but applying for jobs. And now I have two more interviews. Along with the interview I already did (more on that later) and the two I already had planned, my life seems to be back on track! Granted I did spent that whole time applying also finishing up the first season of How I Met Your Mother.

But about yesterday. Even though it was a sad post, it was actually a rather productive day. Let’s start at the beginning.

8:30 a.m.- I did a hands-on interview to be a professional house-keeper. I’m sure anyone who knows me is shocked. My parents know me to be pretty messy. Or cluttered. My friends will agree that while I’m not a slob, I’m also not a neat freak. And some other people probably do assume that I am in fact a slob. Boo on those people.

Anyway, I cleaned a bathroom for a half hour, got critiqued and even after inspecting my mediocre work, the interviewer still seemed mildly interested in me. Now what’s sad is that half-way through the cleaning I realized that I really really really don’t want this job. I don’t. Cleaning professionally is freaking hard and the chemicals aren’t good for my voice. This is what probably brought down my mood for the day. I am smart, educated, well-read, funny, cute and have so much to offer. And there I was, scrubbing the bathtub of some bro.

The worst part is that I am so desperate that if she offers it to me and I have nothing else going on, I will probably take that job. Just til something better comes around. But it’s part-time, pays 11 dollars an hour and I’m guaranteed to get out before 4:30. And most auditions are from 5-10 at night. So maybe I could suck it up for a little bit. Or maybe I’m deluding myself...

1:09 p.m.- I’m auditioning for Spring Awakening. Yes the big Broadway musical that jump-started the career of the horrible Lea Michelle. Yeah, I’m not afraid to say I think she’s horrible! Right, Maude? Even if Maude doesn’t read this, trust me she agrees.

The audition went well. I sang “Oh Darling” by the Beatles and I feel like I might actually have a shot. The auditors seemed ok with me and to be honest, I think I sang better than some of the other girls who auditioned around me. But you kinda have to have that attitude to get into this business. I played my flute and all was well.

1:30: I spontaneously auditioned for another theatre! It was for their season, and required a rock-esque song and a monologue. So I sang “Oh Darling” again and did a monologue. The auditors seemed to really enjoy both pieces. It’s nice to audition for people who actually want to see people do well. Know what I mean?

And after waking up early, and doing two auditions back to back, I still managed to fill out an application to a spice store downtown. Go me! I was exhausted when I got back home at 3, which would explain why I was so down and cranky (sleepy).

And though I sat at my kitchen table all day applying for jobs, I feel pretty good about the day. It’s late afternoon. I’ve had lunch (posted below) and I’m going to organize my house! This place is a mess! Also our toilet might be broken…..oh deary me, that’ll be an interesting post for tomorrow…jk

My lunch today:
A Goat Cheese- Sun-dried Tomato Sandwich on Pullman Bread. Yesterday I ate the same thing, but with Edamame Hummus. Also, a ton of cherries. Getting some fruit in!
