The subject of this entry is what I was told my first week into training at Barnes & Noble by Mary who is one of the two Assistant Managers at my store and was in charge of hiring. Now several weeks later and a massive firing spree because they hired WAY too many people I'm being told that I'll have to wait with the other people who expressed interest in being full time until February when our store Manager, David, will tell us of his decision. Oh, and just for information sake there are only three full time jobs available and we have a staff of around thirty people, half of which want to be one of the lucky three.

I was angry about this but now I'm just weary. Especially since I'm only working three days this week. If I had known this was going to happen I would've never left my cushy job at the hat store. I suppose I could go back to Lids because their DM loves me and is totally my friend but somehow I don't like the idea of me going back after I quit. I think whether it be professional or romantic relationships once you leave it's best not to try to go back. Even if you leave on good terms like I always do.

And thus I'm on yet another job search. I've already done some interviews with Gamestop and Petco. This Tuesday I'm also going in for an interview with this new bargain book store that's opening in the Galleria. That's a job I REALLY want because it's so fucking close to where I live.

Michi is more upset about this than I am, I think. lol. She's totally cute outraged on my behalf and it's so fucking sweet of her. During this whole thing she had many cute and just awww I have such a good girlfriend moments like taking the time and the trouble to set up an Excel database with all these fucking jobs she found online, in the paper, and just places she saw were hiring. It's so fucking extensive too, she has the business name, location, phone number, and minor details all listed. The cutest thing she did was a deliberate repeat of something she had done a few months ago that had me laughing my ass off which is probably why she did it again.

CUTE MICHI MOMENT #5: Awhile ago I was with Michi on campus and she was waiting for one of her professors in the graduate program to finish talking with one of her classmates so she could give him some basic information on her project for his class that he said he wanted from her ASAP. The student the professor was talking to is apparently a major kiss ass and nobody in the program likes him, including the usually mellow Michi. Anyway, we waited like... a half an hour for them to get done but the student kept talking and talking and out of nowhere Michi says in this super low hilariously hostile voice, "I destroy you." lol. Yes, that's right. My girlfriend quoted Wonderfalls!

Today we were out shopping and when we walked past a different Barnes & Noble she repeated her performance and once again had me in a fit of giggles. Ahh, I do love her.

Tell Me Why by Black Lab is my random mp3 link. I love this song so much and I think I'll link it again for the first chapter of my super angsty L Word fanfic that has Dana as the star. The lyrics totally fit how I'm writing the Danish imploding relationship. My favorite lyrics from it are this... "I tell you that I love you. You don't believe a word I say. I tell you that you're beautiful. Yeah, you just turn away. How does it feel to be like you? How does it feel to break me like you do?" Ahhh. Such wonderful angst.
