Thursday Afternoon...

Is finally here! Just one more week of classes, then I am on break for a couple of weeks until Fall starts back up.

But of course, to fill up that time...I am going to pick up where I left off on the job hunting. That in itself is a job! I thought that with the wine shop gig, I would be a shoe in. I mean, the words they used and the way they talked made it sound like I got it. I mean they were ready to offer me the position right there, but I guess the other people they interviewed after me for the second round were more "Desirable"...oh well. Shows what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket.

So my goal today is to apply at three places...a resort and two restaurants. People say it is so easy to get a job in those fields because this is Orlando, but yeah...not with how the job market is going nowadays. Wish me luck that I at least get a call back...geez...I need to call some of these places and find out why they did not want me... I need to correct me mistakes! I hope my past references are not saying bad things...not like they legally can anyway. But I need to nip this in the butt...along with other things in my life, but that's another story.

Anywho...Happy Weekend to those starting today, as well as tomorrow :)

Until next time...

Rant #1,000,529...

So this blog has ended up turning into an outlet for me where I speak negative words on my life at that moment in time. Whatever, it's my blog so I can say what I want....it's your fault if you read it, haha...oh how the sarcasm is coming out in full blows!

It is only Sunday night and this week is already slowly killing me. Thinking about how I have a big exam tomorrow night and not knowing what I have in that class is freaking me out. I hate when professors keep one in fucking suspense. I mean, it is my fucking grade...post the damn bitch so I know how I am doing...don't email the whole fucking class telling us half the class failed, but fails themselves to mention who did. I am trying to study, but it isn't possible...my mind is in such a cluster fuck over this exam, along with all the crap going on in my other class. Tomorrow is going to be a fucking long day and all I am going to want to do is crash when I get home Monday night...

With my other class...we have a presentation this week and we test out our menus and blah blah...ugh, I just want to get it over with. I am afraid I am going to snap on people that don't deserve it, they just happen to make contact with me at the wrong time. Let's hope I have self control over my emotions this week...also pmsing doesn't help the situation either...it is coming in spurts, ugh...

And then not being able to see my significant other till the end of the week doesn't make this any better. My fucking schedule this week conflicts with his and it makes me sad :( I mean I know people go for months without seeing their other half, especially in the whole long distance thing, but we are not doing that...so I think that's what is getting to me...gosh, I shouldn't even be complaining. I guess right now, everything is building one on top of the other - leaving me in a mood where every minuet thing bothers me, when it really shouldn't. It might be a good thing that he doesn't see me until towards the end of the week because I am going to be such a bitch this week...that's a warning right there, haha! Last thing I want to do is go off on someone and they did nothing wrong, lol.

Gosh...I complain a lot. Whatever...I guess I just have to try to keep my head up this week and pray things go somewhat smoothly...or at least I can just get through it....

Can it be Thursday afternoon yet?

4th of July

Most people look forward to this occassion, not only to celebrate our nation's birthday, but it also results in getting a long weekend. For a lot of people, they are lucking out and getting a four day weekend - by the way, you suck!

Now for those in MY industry and similar ones, July 4th and any kind of major holiday constitutes in being slammed and busy - meaning working like whoa! The resort is at max capacity this weekend, so I am going back and working this weekend (I need to anyway). Instead of working in my normal department (pastry, woohoo!), I'll be playing hostess in one of our restaurant outlets.

It'll be the first time I am truly working FOH and I am way excited...hopefully adding this other double coded position on my resume will make me look desirable to a future employer - minus the shitty economy and people being picky with who they hire. I understand though, shit...if I were in their position, I would have every right to be picky too!

Anyway, I better hit the road back to Jacksonville (Orange Park).

Have a great 4th!

Until next time...
