On the up and up
So, from my last post, everyone probably thinks I'm a negative nancy, but things are slowly going upward. I had a 1st interview at the Outback on thursday. It was basically just to take their test. I immediately went to the Subway and quit. That's right..after 1 day. But it was much needed. The owner proceeded to yell at me in front of customers telling me that I didn't realize how much trouble I had caused them and a bunch of other stuff that I couldn't understand bc he doesn't speak very good English. I wasn't upset, just humored. As I turned to leave (while he was in mid-sentence), I could hear him yell something along the lines of "you should be in an office job!" I hope his customers were amused. Apparently I was the 2nd to quit that day. Go figure. BUT the best part is, he called me the next day at 9am begging me to come back! Asking me how much money it would take for me to come back and that he wanted to make me a "shift leader". Please. After 10 minutes of telling him that I could make more money at a restaurant, he said "those places will fire you at the end of the summer. Then what?" I said "That's okay, then I have a job in the area that I recieved my college degree." "Ohh, you're in school?" he said with a chuckle. "No," I said, "I graduated." "Oh. Well, Okay, goodbye." That's what I thought.
I have my real interview at the Outback on Monday. I am so excited to start working and making money. I'm still pretty sure that I won't be able to completely pay off my credit card, but I'll for sure be able to make a big dent in it, and I'm okay with that.
Since I had nothing of significance to do the rest of the weekend, I drove to Silver Spring last night and am staying until Sunday evening. Sunday being Mother's Day, I will drive back to have a lovely date night with my mom.
I'm still not comfortable here. It will never feel like home (at least not any time soon), but I'm hoping that once I start working things will get much better. At least I'll be making money, and I won't feel useless. It's such a bad feeling.
I miss my MU friends a great deal still. I miss Huntington. I miss knowing my way around and knowing people. I miss walking to the Speedway with Courtney. I miss walking to Darin's after rehearsal. I miss watching messed-up tapes of the Gilmore Girls with Court and Jamie. I miss hiking behind the museum. I miss late-night TB excursions (even though I didn't need it lol). I miss running lines at the McDonald's whilst eating a cheeseburger kid's meal with milk and apple dippers. I miss theatre dept. drama! haha. I miss nice days on the loading dock. I miss joint Stanislavski/Directing classes where I'd bring my lunch and write in my journal. I miss watching countless movies in theatre history. I miss TRINITY CHOIR! I miss David Cook knocking my music off my pew during communion. I miss the odd conversations in the costume shop. I miss having senioritis with Kim! I miss photography sessions with Court. I miss Court "taking my picture" but really filming me and me falling for it every time! I miss EVERYTHING!
I could think of a million more things to say, but I'll spare you :)
Have great days everyone!
