I was in a sad funk all day. This happens, but now that I found a new exercise to cheer myself up, I feel better. After dinner, I randomly started serenading E with Justin Bieber's "baby, baby, oh baby" song (I don't know the title, only those catchy lyrics) in a chipmunk voice. After singing a pop song like a chipmunk, one really can't go back to being crabby, or "crampy" as Eugenio says. Side story: sometimes Eugenio doesn't hear me clearly, claiming that I speak "too low." He doesn't mention that he didn't understand, rather he makes up words based off of what he thinks I said. One day I told him he should cheer up and stop being crabby (I'm supportive like that), and later he gave me a hug and said, "I'm sorry I was being crampy." (he's great and funny like that). Anyhoo, I was mostly crampy today over my unemployment and because I miss mi madre and you.
I wanted to follow up with the flower shop this morning, but I'm assuming they are no longer hiring, as they took down their ad and didn't respond to my email. Bummer, dude. I hate it when I get rejected from a job before I even get a chance to interview. If I interview and then they reject me, I can say something like, "Whew! Good, I really didn't want to work for her anyway. She was so....." Now I can only blame you -- for not praying hard enough. And I really didn't want to bring you into my pity party.
While sulking, I managed to apply for a big girl job, which is one that notes a real salary. Now pray, goddamnit. Just kidding. This post concludes my writing about my job search, until I actually get a job. I don't want to joke my way through another rejection. Also, I must be complaining so much that even my friends are having nightmares for me (or should I say cozy dreams, relative to my current situation?). Elle sent me this text today:
I had a dream you would fly back to S.A. on the weekends to be a lunch lady at Lee for extra money. You seemed happy!
LOL. I think I actually would be happy if that were reality. I'd have a job where I would occasionally eat yummy chocolate chunk cookies (anyone who went to Lee, remember those?!), and I'd get to see my friends and family. Win, win, win, minus the traveling expenses.
Well calabazita I will be sure to do double the praying now. And also you left out the baby movie, after that you were more cheerful. And if Im ever crampy, sing me the chipmunk song, it will surely cheer me up too. LOL beshitos
ReplyDeletehahaha I love that "crampy"... well I think E should use his suave skills to get you a job in the hospital ..eh..eh?
ReplyDeleteI miss madre too especially when your in the car and hear songs like usher's "yeah"...and any outcast songs. ha.
Eugenio -- I wrote this before the baby movie! But yes, the baby movie did help. We should keep a copy on hand, in case of a crampy emergency.
ReplyDeleteMolly -- I actually have applied to jobs at the hospital,lol. He offered to help once,by calling someone and mentioning I appled to the job and I said, "No, I want to get a job on my own merit." That was like week 2 of my job search. Now I'll take any help I can get! And speaking of Mom's music, that reminds me -- I need to keep a list of requested songs for the wedding. We should definitely have "peace up, A town down" in her honor.
I'm excited my text made your blog! I'm sure you'll find a job really soon and you'll probably love it more than being a lunch lady. Until then you should really enjoy the perks of being jobless like getting to sleep all day! Once you find a job, get married, have kids you'll be waking up at 5am until you retire! Think of this time as resting up for the future! lol
ReplyDeleteElle -- AMEN, sister! I'm trying to look on the bright side and enjoy all the sleeping!
ReplyDeleteWe all have our crampy days, Nanna. I miss you like crazy and I so need you and Mom right now. I've had a pretty crappy experience at school this week. I don't want to type anything... good ol' inter nets, you know? :o) But I think we need to have a picnic with jelly bellies, wine -for Molly and me, tomato-beer- for you, expensive wine-for Mara, mojitos for Em, and someone's ipod with some of Mom's crazy tunes. Maybe she'll get a hall-pass from upstairs and come and visit our party and we can all get our much needed hug from our Mommy. That would be so very nice.
ReplyDeleteLindy, that sounds fantastic.We should do that! I'll take some of your jelly bellies and wine, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I can share my wine with 2 people. Maybe I'll get a box... yeah, that'll work ;o)
