"You Stole My Fishsticks"
Okay so it’s been a long time since I updated . . .however by now most of you should be used to the fact that I updating in a timely fashion is completely beyond my ability.
So here it is April whatever and I still have not achieved the full time salaried with great benefits job I envisioned. I remember thinking last semester how I wanted to be employed by Christmas, which turned into “I want to be employed by the end of January,” which turned into “the end of February would be good,” and then I just gave up putting a freaking deadline on myself because obviously the job fairy hasn’t come to grant me my three occupational wishes yes (yeah it doesn’t make much sense to me either).
At this point I have lost count of how many interviews I have gone to and how many resumes I have sent out. I used to keep a list but eh who needs a list. Currently I’m waiting on Kelloggs and Gilmore Research. Part of me says screw it and go work in Alaska this summer though me thinks this is a one way ticket to loonyville.
This past weekend Kerry and I ventured to lovely Pullman for a nice weekend of shenanigans and Becky’s b-day. All was well until we hit vantage and in the middle of the grade my “check engine” light went on. For any of you who have been on the grade lately you know it’s a mess since they are repaving half the hwy so now both directions share three lanes (if you’re headed east you are currently in only one lane. . .down the entire grade to the river. . .ooh ahh please beating heart be still. We got to Pullman around 6:30 then we (Kerry, Jenn (1), Becky, Beth, Rachel and I) all went to Wingers (I sooo miss Wingers). Later Jenn, Becky and I filled up on carrot cake, ice cream, and sparkling wine. On Saturday I went to the pet food sale with Jenn and then later we all went over to the Bon and Tri-State.
** Quote of the trip
“We’re From North Idaho And It Shows” (Slogan for Tri-State Idaho’s most interesting store which is like a Home Depot, Al’s Auto Supply, an REI, and a Feed Store all in one).
Me “What the hell does that exactly mean?”
Becky “You’re missing your front teeth”
The best part of the above was that it was said in a dressing room full of University of Idaho mothers and daughters
Saturday night we headed out to the bars first to “My Office” then to Shakers. During our little escapade we also learned that you can indeed fit six adults into a Ford Probe . . .Shakers was “interesting” I have yet to figure out how that bar became the IT spot to drink. Everyone pushes and is malicious (Vahallas was much more fun me thinks). But hey it doesn’t matter it was just nice to consume copious amounts of alcohol for no other reason than to get drunk.
On a side note -
Dear Sorority Girls,
When you have a formal please be advised that wearing a short purple halter dress with a black lace overlay and no pantyhose etc makes you look like a two bit whore and not even a high class one. That dress is not designed for you unless you are 5’1, of Asian decent and under 95lbs.
Side note II-
We saw Aaron Haskins aka “Harasskins” at Shakers. He just transferred from BCC. He didn’t remember me which isn’t surprising, he did however remember Jenn and Kerr (apparently the drug use didn’t impair that side of the brain). Ahhh don’t we all remember our senior cruise when he was so high on E he kept having “meaningful conversations” hehehehe
We also ended up talking to some frat kid whom had some interesting stories. One included a seal, another about how he was the hot dog mascot for the Everett AquaSox, and the final one about how his frat started the 1998 riots (wasn’t he like in 8th grade then?!). We tried to sneak out through the frat’s designated “Ladies” restroom but the window had bars!
And of course what would any weekend be without a little drama . . .
In light of my non-existent job I have been temping for a few agencies. The first job was for Group Health and all I did was file. However, I filed employee files and can now tell you how much everyone makes in the specific division. I can also tell you who has been reprimanded and who feels that even when they are one warning away from termination thinks they should put smiley faces in every letter of their name. For the last two days I have temped for a construction firm and all I am doing is copying files for them (boring!). On the bright side I am usually the only one in the office and I can listen to whatever music I want. In the office next to ours is a baby, which seems to spend the better half the day screaming. The parents keep trying to make it stop crying with some sort of three toned musical evil object which makes me feel like I’m losing my mind. Think Close Encounters of the Third Kind and then think about sitting in a room by yourself wondering why you keep hearing the same three tones over and over again and wondering if indeed you are losing your mind. However I have discovered that playing KZOK makes the kid shut up. . .or do I drown it out. . .it’s not important J Thanks Pantera, Tool, and Guns and Roses for making my day a bit brighter.
Oh and I’m taking jazz dance. It’s Kerry’s fault I blame her:)
I can still run a mile!
Got to go!
