Harrison Ford said "motherfucker" in front of James Lipton.
I've lost track of time...I don't know how many weeks I've been here at home, away from school and the time swallowing dorm. It really isn't better here, though. I still don't have a job, and I'm pretty depressed about it. I'm waiting for Universal to get their shit together, and realize that they should give me a job. Since I didnt return as seasonal before (like over a year ago) I have to wait for them to tell me I can work again, that my record is ok, that I'm not a bad employee. Kind of funny considering the people I interviewed with on Friday. I don't think I've ever been in a situation quite like it: 5 adults (myself included), a piece of paper that said "Go Universal!" on it, and a task to create as many words as possible using those letters. So I played along, contributed plenty of super words, tried to ignore the fact that the person who decided to write all of the words couldn't spell AT ALL. It's not so much the fact that she couldn't spell, or that this 40+ year old woman WANTED to work on a food cart, it's mostly that I was so completely offended and upset by the whole situation. When you work at a theme park, or any job that's a sure thing, you work with so many different kinds of people...but for the most part there are two groups: college/high school kids trying to make some money during their summer break, and the bitter, older crowd who are working at a theme park to get by, to support their kids, because they think it's a "real job"--whatever that means.
I dont know, I guess I have mixed emotions about this, but I've been thinking about it a lot. It's great that these theme parks run like machines, and give people lots of hours, and a weekly paycheck. But do they really need to treat their employees like children? And if they do, and they come across someone who can actually spell, and is working on a college degree, and has experience, why would they even hesitate to hire her? Bah. Whatever.
I'm so poor. I have less than $50 in my checking account. My credit card is basically maxed, even though it's only a $500 limit. I just want to make some money so i can breathe again.
I think all this stress is making me tired. and fat. Well maybe the junk I'm eating is making me fat, but the stress doesn't help.
On a side note, I saw a sneak preview of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants yesterday with Amanda. We felt like such dorks, but oh well...a good chick flick is always a plus. And I'd read the book. And I saw Star Wars again today--I really think it was great. I especially appreciated that the ending wasn't excessive, and didn't drag on...like Return of the King. heh. I really do love these movies though, and it baffles me that people don't like any of the Star Wars movies, or haven't seen them. WEIRDOS.
ugh, I'm tired. I'm sorry to those who actually read this whole post. It's choppy, boring, and LONG. goodnight.
