I don't think I've mentioned yet how I'm now an assistant secretary at school. I'm taking stage crew this year with a bunch of boys. They won't let me do much work though cause they "don't have insurance in case I kill somebody or myself." He says as I attempt to move a chair.
So I ended up in Mr. Nuemann's office doing paperwork. He's the head of the stage/music department/everything artsy. Now I spend every stage crew class, my study hall every day, and a few hours after I'm dismissed at noon sitting in his office doing work. Typing, filing, taking messages, making phonecalls and copies.
Teachers and students have started coming to me instead of him for questions/help or whatever and his real secretary gives me lists of shit she wants me to do. She even interrupted one of my classes to give me work.
The perks of this are that Mr. Nuemann loves me now and he has connections. He's said to me, "Is there anything I can do for you? You going to college? I could write a letter or call them for you. You interested in theatre? There's some people I can introduce you to."
Plus I've got authority now, which feels good. I can do things other students can't and even tell other students what to do. The other day I ordered a freshman to help me work. I don't think I've ever "ordered" someone like that before.
Of course, working for five hours a day without getting any money is slightly frustrating. I really don't mind helping out, it's just I'm so stressed over being unemployed at the same time as being stressed over working which makes me feel crazy. I'm basically doing a job everyday, but I still have to go around hunting for a job. Bleh.
I'm really starting to miss Emily too. I can't go a whole week without seeing her! I ate at Burger King today, I want my lovely italian back. T_T
