(copy from journal - interview, car panic, stress!)
OMG - Nervous!
So this morning, I'm woken up by the phone ringing. I don't recognize the name or number so I let it go to the answering machine. The lady starts leaving a message and I quickly grab it because she's from The Craft Store. (Name withheld to protect the innocent. i.e. me) See, they're opening up a new location very close to my house and I dropped my application off Sunday. I figured some part time hours would be good plus it'd be some much needed cash. And I'm in craft stores all the time anyway so it seemed like a more interesting place to work given my crafty status.
So now I have to go in at 2pm today. Of course, I haven't yet been able to get in touch with my friend Rand to get me there. He's not answering at his house or cell. Panic! It's not like I had any real advance warning. She called today and said to come in today, you know? It's just stressful. I mean, the whole thing is stressful already but now...even more so!
See, Nanny (my maternal grandmother) is 91. And my mom and her siblings, with the recommendation of the doctor, have decided she needs to stop driving. So I'll be getting the 1990 Buick that she had to get me to-and-from. It's old and fragile and no one's sure how much longer it'll drive (at 17 years old and over 100K miles on it) but it should be enough to get me a few miles down the road to the new store and back. It's just that I don't have it yet. With my sister's surgery and mom's other stuff she needs to do (a doctor's appointment for herself for example) we haven't had time yet to get it down to me. Plus I don't have the $30 it'll take to register it in my name right now. I won't for two more weeks. (We're broke because we get paid twice a month and one is entirely eaten up by rent. So it won't be until next Friday that we have any cash to our names. (I mean, literally, we don't even have $30 period to get us through let alone $30 extra to spare.) So I have transportation almost ready for me but just far enough away that it doesn't do me any good.
But...ack! I'm all stressed about everything right now! Wish me luck that somehow it all works out today and that they'll hire me part time.
EEEK!
Edit @ 12:20pm Whew. One stress down. Just heard from my friend Rand and it's no problem to snag his vehicle this afternoon. Now I just have to panic about the interview itself. Panic!
