Begging - it works.
So. Apparently, humiliating yourself and just begging for stuff occasionally works. Case in point: Begged my boss to let me stay another month and he said yes. So, unemployment avoided for another month. At least it's something.
In other news, my friends overestimate me. I bought a sewing machine a couple of years ago because I really, really wanted to learn how to sew. I mean, I'd never used a sewing machine in my life, but that didn't stop me. At least it didn't stop me from buying the machine. Which then spent 2 years sitting in my basement. Anyway. Sometime last fall I actually bought some fabric and tried to sew a patchwork pillow case. Well. The pillowcase does exist. It holds a pillow. But it looks nothing like it's supposed to, because apparently straight lines? Are totally and completely beyond me. So last week a friend of mine (who sews a lot of her own clothes) gave me a book of sewing techniques. Her comment: "Learn these until next Sunday, cause then we're going to buy fabric for the blouse we're going to sew." O_o WTH? She's the one who laughed her butt off about my crooked pillowcase and now I'm supposed to sew a BLOUSE? Hahahahaha. Yeah, probably not happening. Or probably happening, but won't be fit to wear. But I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun picking out the fabric...lol
Alright, gotta go start baking. One of my colleagues has her 10 year anniversary tomorrow and we're making her breakfast (unfortunately, my stupid replacement starts tomorrow as well, I hope she doesn't think we're doing it for her - cause I sure as hell won't bake for the person who's getting my job.)
