for the past few months i've been completely unemployed, living off of a comfortable inheritance. though assuredly glamourous, its horribly boring and my mind wanders to ridiculous topics. i haven't done anything really worthwhile with my time except go back to school, and join a gym.

so, a couple weeks ago i interviewed for a hostessing position at a pricey mount vernon restaurant. it went well, i thought, we shared some laughs and he seemed impressed with my knowledge/willingness to work. today, i read their newer craigslist ad:

"We're a restaurant that's been very well reviewed by numerous publications, however we're not stuffy, and don't expect you to be either. We offer a very profitable enviornment, it's easy, and you'll have fun. August is coming up and we'll be opening for lunch. We're going to need approimately 2-4 daytime dedicated servers. In addition a hostess is the first line of defense for a restaurant. We're looking for a very well presented, confident, attractive hostess who is willing to work 2-4 evenings per week.. Cheers !!"

i am so depressed, so mournful, i may give up my dealings with the service industry all together. i can't believe that i'm too gross looking to be a hostess, a fucking hostess, the imbecile warblers of the industry.

i have no skills and not enough charm. will i ever work again?

I've got a job interview next wednesday in Lanham, Md. The offer on the table so far is pretty considerable, but the commute. Also I heard this place allows less freedom than my current job, but I can't puch a broom around this company anymore.

you know, Hatebeak... get it? After all of the discussion about "the beak"...
ehh...

I was just asked by my boss if I could caterpillar-sit at their house this weekend.

there might be a black out. Just got this email that was forwarded through many people and could be a total rumor but damn, its hot out and who wants to get stuck in a tunnel, so here you go:

Importance: High

My friend's dad works for ConEd - he just called and told her not to ride the subways any more today, as we will likely have a blackout. ConEd is sending all non-essential employees home right now so they can shut down power to their building. From yesterday's heat, Manhattan has 4 feeders out, putting a big strain on the system. He said in his 30 years working there, he's never seen ConEd act like this, especially at 10:30 in the morning. He said not to panic, but not to take a chance if it can be helped - avoid riding the subway if at all possible.

I'm going to the ATM now and checking out bus schedules. :-)
