Watch me. Do it…

recession smession

so much! so much…

1. hi. i’ve missed you, too.

2. i’ve been trying to get a job. my resumé is everywhere. everyone knows i’m looking and they’re helping me… so far, nada.

3. so i’m back at my former place of employment: reality tuesday cafe. part-time.

4. i love working there. i always have. i mean, coffee, pastries, people… hello!

5. charlie loathes cold weather. i think he thinks we must be punishing him by bringing him to cold america. so we got him a sweater. and a coat. adorably cute.

6. i’m listening to christmas music on pandora. i’ve been listening to xmas music the past two weeks. i have no shame.

7. i say things a lot like, “i love so-and-so, i love this-or-that” and i think, “wow. i love a lot of things.” really? …yes. i love gobstoppers, cold weather, the strange looking lurch-man at kroger named joe, etc.

8. a man came into the cafe the other night… aside from him looking like a shady mcgrady, he said we need to start having live music (which we do, occasionally). he then informed me that he was in a Police cover-band and they are able to play the songs “a lot slower” than they are normally played (because this is a big feat for them?). and i quote, “so like, ‘every breath you take’ is usually around 3 minutes, well we can play it so slow that it’s like, 5 minutes. you know, really draw it out.” as if that song needed extended breath, am i right.

9. i tweet a lot. i like to think of it as “facebook gone wild.” i say that because, most of my tweets are things that i would not say on facebook. they’re laden and dripping with sarcasm and wit… times a billion. which might make them appear offensive… smiley face.

10. i applied the other day for a job i think would be perfect for me. on their online application, i used the phrase “i’m a real go-getter.” in my head, i said this with… ya know, a sorta funny voice. after pressing “send,” i thought back to some of the things i had written, realizing in that moment, i probably won’t get the job.

11. hope you’re staying healthy and fancy!
