can't wait to be back on the road again...

the salon can longer afford to keep a receptionist. so i lost my job today.
and someone was smart enough to teach my former manager how to properly fire someone so they cannot collect unemployment. kudos to you, dumbass.

truth be told, i have been looking for another job for the last month or so.
the pay was awful, nepotism ran rampant, and if i am fired for "leaving the a/c on," then yes, it's time to get the hell outta Dodge.

but now it's crunch time, and i must be employed before
a. i am booted from my health insurance (this was inevitable)
b. my pathetic wad of cash runs dry
c. my car blows up (exception to the rule if i'm in the exploding car and C wasn't an issue)

i am exhausted from the six month long job search.

from a job that treated me poorly
to unemployment
to a seasonal job
to acquiring a second job
to quitting the seasonal job
to being fired from the second job.
back to unemployment

i don't like change. i want to work at a place for a long time.
the economy is bad, and apparently two days a week FOR SCHOOL is too much to ask from employers right now.
working the entire weekend just isn't enough for you, Cracker Barrel.

mind you, this all happened today, and i am already at the "I tithe, where are you O Jehovah Jirah?" stage. melodramatic, i know.
i guess i haven't learned that business isn't personal and vice versa. i am really doing my best to hold my head high and just keep on truckin'. (this entry was at the end of a long day of holding back tears, thank you)
heaven forbid i slip into a depression and gain a bunch of i'm-sad-unemployed-and-watch-too-much-maury weight.

speaking of which, i'm taking belly dancing lessons. and i'm taking to it much faster than i thought i would! hopefully i can work at the acropolis, dancing with my entire torso exposed while juggling fire.
the notion is just so awesome, that i almost forget that All is Vanity.

also, travis is great and has been super sweet today.
