Frustrated
I just cannot tune a fricking cello. The pegs are hard to move, and then they just don't stay put. Anyway, I broke TWO, count 'em, TWO strings today. I don't even know how I did it, because I was so out of tune, I should not have been able to break them. I was nowhere in the range of needing to use the fine tuners. Whatever. At least I still have the back up cello, and was able to practice with that. However, I totally and completely sucked today at every exercise I tried. I'm just not feeling the cello love today.
In other news, the girls took the Megabus to D.C. yesterday. They spent part of the morning at Arlington, but were too hot and thirsty to stay. Tonight, the big event is the Glee Live show (the reason they went in the first place). I am a little worried about them tomorrow, as they have to check out of their hotel by 11 am, but can't catch the bus back until after 10 pm. Thus they will be stuck outside in the heat and humidity all day long. I hope they can find a nice, air conditioned museum or two to spend the day in.
My job search is increasingly frustrating, too. There just are not jobs for veterinarians in this area, unless one is already experienced. Well, excuse me for being a new grad, but how the hell can I GET experience if you won't hire me? I did hear of an opening at a clinic about 20 minutes away. I went and delivered my resume yesterday, but they were very busy, so I was not able to speak to the owner. So far today, no phone call. I don't know if he just has not had time, or if he is just not interested. A phone call to let me know would be nice. I will try to maintain a positive attitude and assume he cannot get to it just yet.
And with that, I am going to go out and buy some organizational stuff and organize my kitchen.
