Make up yer mind!

At 9:30 am, ah was offered an admin asst. position w. a prestigious university's fundraising department. Ahd really been hoping to secure some permanent employment this week, expecting ta hear back from two organizations ah was interested in. Ahm also nawt in love w. tha concept of bein an admin asst AGAIN...tryin ta beef up tha ol resume ya know.

Conflicted, ah called both organizations, left a voicemail w. one n ended up callin tha otha one (they had a temp at thar phones who couldnt transfer me ta voicemail, bah). Ah was told that one of those jobs was definitely nawt mine, n at 11:30 called my temp agency back ta let them know ah could start this new one on Monday.

All of this shite bein up-in-tha-air totally stressed me out this morning. N nawt knowing whetha er nawt a project asst. position ah wouldve really rawked couldve been mine is less then pleasant. Howevah, tha new position has nae end date, n could end up bein permanent. Also, it pays $17 an hour, n while fundraising isn't really tha field ahd like ta occupy fer tha rest of my life, ahm realizin that havin fundraisin n development experience is a key ability in tha non-profit, so ahm startin ta accept that this is tha way life was supposed ta werk out....just barely that is.

In tha meantime, ahm nawt answerin any phone calls from tha financial district cuz ah don't wanna talk to tha place w. tha project asst. job unless ah actually hafta.

On tha real bright side, daddy TOTALLY needs a new pair of shoes, n now that ah have consistent and decent payin work fer at least all of Feb if nawt longah, ah ken afford some. My current shoes stink. Like, really really smell. Which is ta be expected, these thangs have lasted me a solid year n that included 2 weeks in guatemala and being covered in volcanic ash in a thundahstorm.

Unfortunetly, ah totally hate shoe shopping, n would ratha nawt shell out anutha 100 bux fer tha exact same pair ah have on now, b/c they took kinda way too long ta break in.

Fer those of you concerned about me gittin busted dickin around at werk, ahm ona lunch break, n have a card ta prove it!

Put some baking soda in 'em. It'll soak up the stink and is probably in your kitchen AS WE SPEAK.
