Being broke sucks ass. I have 2 maxed out credit cards and $13 in my checking account. So I quit smoking and drinking. Haven't had a drink in... 72 hours. The way I have been going the last 4 months this is the longest I have gone. That blows. But it feels good. I have been at home with the grandparents working every day for their annual garage sale... the Ultra Jumbo Huge Megatron one. I get to sell my crap, too and get $10 per hour taken off my bill.
In order to get cash I am heading to Oly Thursday morning and coming back Friday night. Actually COMING this time! I NEED MONEY!
Had my little interview at the liqor store today. Sean, who works there was all excited and Jason (the manager) had me fill out some forms for WA state Liquor Control Board's background check. I don't have a criminal record and my driving record is clean (except for parking tickets of which I have had more than I can remember in Seattle and B'ham) so I am feeling pretty good. I just hope he was able to get the forms OK'd by his district manager then faxed to Oly for processing. The YES answer has to come back by Friday so I am an a smidge concerned... but optimistic!!! Its a temporary part time position but it pays $10.83 or something! Possibility it could become permanent. I guess the state looks down on "temporary workers" but if someone who works part time leaves I could be in luck. Still looking for other work, though. Just in case.
CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR ME!!!
I have another interview tomorrow evening but I don't want the job so I am going in simply for more interview experience. I would be working in a Pepsi factory loading and moving pallets. Even the woman who called me for the interview ( I wanted ANOTHER position, but still aggreed to the interview) told me the job was monotonous so that;s not so good! There is other shit I would prefer to do besides move pallets of pepsi for 8 hours a day.
Spending time away from Poli. I went out last weekend and avoided him then got in a fight with the corner of a table so I have this nice purple bruise on my temple. He got mad (understandably) when he found out i avoided him to get drunk and I decided to leave for a couple days to figure some shit out. What I want out of life, what I want out of this relationship. It;s been 3 days and things are starting to figure themselves out. Like I said, I've been sober since then- doing manual labor and spending time with the family. I'll see him tomorrow for a date night comprised to Rummikub and 10,000 and strawberries. Then I'll be gone for another 4-5 days with the fam. He's welcome to come over for dinner, but I won't be spending the night over there. Family first this week.
