Bah Humbug, I hate to say...
I should have been out on the streets of L.A. today, hitting the pavement, walking the streets, riding the 720 express Metro red bus west along Wilshire to La Brea, then up north to Sunset Boulevard. I shoulda been makin' the money. But I didn't. Instead, all I did today was take a quick shower, put my hair in rollers, only to have my hair still look stupid, then get a phone call from my temping agency that I got a job in Downtown at least till January 15th. A later phone call from the temping agency, after I squeezed out a $500 money order for December's rent at the credit union, told me that I get the 23rd-26th off, January 2nd off, and MLK off. He then said that the end date of the temp job was actually indefinite. So, yes, it's good news. But at the same time... Christmastime is kinda fucked. :-(
WHY THE HELL ARE THERE NO LONG JOHN SILVERS IN LOS ANGELES?
I want me some deep fried fish and hushpuppies, goddamit.
*looks at a calendar* I can just go home for a mere four days. That's.. it makes me sooo sad. I was happy to hear the news but sad when I heard about the days off. Maybe I can still make this work though. I was supposed to fly back home to Texas with my best friend in LA, but even that can't work now. It's bittersweet. I'm happy that I'm finally getting income after not working the entire month of November, but it's at the cost of really cherished and precious time with kith and kin. We've been trying to fly back together the past four years.. I should have tried last year. Bah.
Humbug!
The only way this can work is if I get three important days off: the 27th, the 28th, and the 29th. I'll be back at work on January 3rd. I like to stay home for the actual Twelve Days of Christmas (Dec 25th - Jan 6) but I can't seriously take that much time off from a job I just started. And it's not just because it's "Christmastime" that I want to stay.. my parent's Wedding Anniversary is December 28th. I can't miss that. I would cry myself to sleep for a week after I left home if I had to leave Texas on the 26th. It's just not right to miss that, after I haven't seen my mom and dad since February. After.. the funeral. Ugh.
It's not right. But, I really hope whoever I report to is sensitive to this. Damn it. I'm pissed about not being able to make the flight back home with my friend. But if I can't make my parent's Wedding Anniversary?
......UGH. No, I can't even think about that! Jeez!
Anyways... when's the Rose Bowl? January 4th, and it's after work! I won't be able to attent the actual Parade, but if I can see the game... ohh sweet lovely happy day.
I doubt I could score a ticket though.. well, -maybe-. But it's not that important compared to possibly missing the 'rent's anniversary.
*sigh* I have income though! Yay! I'll be able to afford next month's rent and my plane ticket, and maybe even my tuition for SMC for the spring!
*crosses fingers*
Well, other than that, I should have been making money stripping today, but I didn't, and I didn't apply to a cafe that was hiring either. I do want a second source of income, but I can't quite figure out what that will be yet.. it should be bartending. I need to finish that damn test. And then I can bartend. Blah. After I organize my room a bit...
Maybe it's all finally gonna come together? *sigh* I sure hope so.
