What the fuck, Destiny?

[celticravenwolf]

I am so ridiculously lost on the road of life. I must have the map upside down or something, for all the sense that it makes. Just when I think I'm headed in the right direction it seems the road ahead is always blocked

That's some detour! And parametic?! I look forward to that entry ^.^ Hope the interview goes okay - like you say, sounds better than being run around all day.

[celticravenwolf]

There she is! Did you see my costume?

Thanks! I hope so too!

[kohaku_shuurai]

Yep, I saw your costume. Pretty wild! The drinking through a straw pic was good ^.^

I spent a few years working as a hostess/dish-bitch/prep/cook. You need to be an A-type to flourish in the restaurant industry for long. I don't blame you for wanting to get out!

[celticravenwolf]

Lol, yeah. *points to self* Definitely not A-type.

I can only stand restaurant work for a few weeks at a time, until the novelty wears off and you realize how shitty it really is. At least on the ship it was a set menu and there were other things to break up the monotony... I considered applying to places as a server for the winter (after my brief stint on the ship made me think, "maybe it's not so hard!"), but I think this entry basically turned me off that (I really hate getting flustered, and I'm really just not very nice :)).

I would totally go for the gov't job. Even if it's only until December, that gives you a nice break from the restaurant - you could go back, or to a different restaurant, with a fresh outlook and not totally hate it for like 3 or 4 weeks! :)

[celticravenwolf]

Yeah, that's Martino's opinion too. I'm pretty sure that Perry would take me back if things didn't work out, but Martino pointed out that a serving job would be very easy to find anyway

It's kind of funny, actually. One thing that I really, really hate is small talk. I suck at it, and feel awkward about it. Tino and I were having a conversation about how easy it is for him to just go out, make smal talk and meet a ton of people, whereas I don't care for that. He loves small talk, I think it's a waste of time. If I'm never going to meet the person again I don't care what they do for a living, where they live, where they came from, nothing. I just don't. I agree soooo hard. I HATE small talk. I think it's inane and a complete waste of time, and I have no skill at it whatsoever. Why bother yapping to someone about the weather when I don't give a crap about it and feel perfectly all right being silent? I know it makes a lot of people uncomfortable if I don't talk, so if I know someone well enough I try for politeness's sake, but unless I really like you it's not fun. Plus if I'm at work, I find it annoying to not be focused completely on the task at hand. I don't like distractions. ;D

[celticravenwolf]

Lol, well, I still have to get accepted first!

Yeah, anytime I comment about the weather or anything I feel like it's because it's what I'm supposed to do. The worst thing here is that everyone's default is the Roughriders - Saskatchewan's only pro sport team. Everybody's a Roughrider fan, so everybody talks about it. I used to just say that I don't care about football so I'm not a fan, and enough people looked at me like I fell out of the sky that now I just smile and nod whenever people bring it up. I always hear about the scores on the tv over the bar at work, so I just throw that out there when appropriate. Lol, I hate myself for doing it, but it makes the customers happy.

*sigh* Oh to be back in a lush green park, or brushing down Irissa in the barns. No shitty smalltalk in either of those places...
