Things are not working out as planned
Well, I did not get either of the jobs I applied for, but it's o.k. I would not be so cranky about it but in one particular case they hired someone who was not nearly as qualified or adept, but he was a "he" and I will put my money on that being the reason I did not get the job. Not only am I jobless and living off of the rents, I am also horribly bored.
I am starting to get really annoyed with my situation. I spend half a day calling around to funeral homes asking about positions and all they do is say that they will let me know if they hear of any openings and how it is too bad I don't have a license or they would hire me.
I am also missing the city...A LOT. I miss everything about it, the sights, sounds, people. I miss Adler, the skyline at night, and someone I met while I was in Chicago, and whom I spent time looking at the skyline with. He shall remain nameless, for the sake of saving him embarassment, if he is ever to read this. I am truly suprised that I have thought of him as often as I have. Not because I wasn't all that interested, quite the contrary, I was very interested, just horrible timing and alot going on in my life. We hardly had time to get to know each other before I left. It seemed so odd to spend only a few random days and nights with a person, yet feel like you have a good grasp on what they feel and think about so many things. I guess the combination of missing a new friend along with an old one, Chicago, has kind of got me down.
If I have failed to locate a job before the first of October I may sign up to attend the National Funeral Directors Convention in Chicago. Part of the reason is to get a chance to mingle with funeral directors in hopes of locating an internship, the other part is to satisfy this urge to be in the city and to be back with old friends and live this high that I only seem to get when I'm in Chicago.
