Working Girl
I've decided that I want the job at the theatre. And that I'm going to do everything in my power to get it.
So when I turned in my application, I dressed to kill.
Or rather, to inspire confidence not only in myself, but in the manager I was psyching myself up to talk to. I put this conditioner stuff in my hair and hoped that the shortness of it (which has recently been described as Annie Lennox and "cool") would make my faux confidence more authentic.
I would have put makeup on, but I didn't have any. So I took a shower instead and practiced smiling confidently and easily.
It's a work in progress. Shh.
It was pretty awkward actually because I had to talk to the manager through the box office - so I couldn't show off my Uber Handshake of American Confidence. I did bring a resume so, even though my last job was in 2007, he can see I've been volunteering at the library from 2008-2009, as well as winning a string of awards from Sam Houston University. In other words, I don't like such a loser. :p
If I don't hear back from them, I shall return Sunday next with another resume! They won't be able to get rid of me -- until they hire me -- which means they still won't be able to get rid of me, ironically. Haha!
I'm sorry picture whoring, it's not often I feel both beautiful and mildly confident.
