So this job is getting old. I really, really need a real job. The other girl I was working with got a dream job as in house counsel for a fancy jean company. I’m so jealous. But now I’m doing this horrible job alone and today just dragged on and on and on and on… And to top it off, my friend who I’m working for was really snappy and rude today. So now our friendship has a whole different dynamic. Ugh. I’m grateful for the money and the busy time, but still.
Anyways, that’s all. Just needed to vent. Oh and Mondays are lame.
The week, in a nutshell
September 27, 2008 at 11:20 am | In Life | 3 CommentsTags: boys, Friends, work
This week flew by. I didn’t do that much really. Monday was tv night of course. Tuesday I was bored and may have texted P to see what he was doing. But, after his response, I suddenly lost all interest and the interest harboring in the back of my mind promptly vanished. So, he’s outta my phone and my life. Wednesday I played football, raced with my little cousins and mostly just hung out with them. They’re so adorable. Thursday I met up with my cousin for a drink in this cute little boutique hotel bar. A bar that George Clooney frequents according to the hot bartender. But no fear, I have learned my lesson and will not be allowing myself to have any interest in any bartenders.
Work was alright this week. It’s really mind numbing actually and sooooo dry and boring. Luckily, the girl I’m working with is really cool and we chat all day.
Last night I had dinner with my roommate, her boyfriend, and his roommate. She cooked us Southern food as she’s from the deep South and it was gooooood. I heart biscuits and those were homemade. How nice is that? We drank some wine and then headed up the street to our local dive-ish bar, and then hit up the wine bar. The dive bar was fulled with cougars. Ew. And no cute boys. By this time the bf’s roommate left. He’s really nice. Kinda cute and pretty funny. Not sure if I’m interested, but he’s fun to hang out with. I think G and T would love it if we hooked up, but we’ll see…. At the wine bar I made the erroneous mistake of consuming Stella (yes Dom and Perp, I know better) and became instantly 100x more drunk. I don’t get it. Whenever I have a one, it causes this reaction of me becoming wasted. Which resulted in a horrible effort in trying to sleep since the room was moving as soon as I laid down. Ugh.
Now I have to get to the bank and the gym. And maybe hit up a few stores. I don’t think I’ll be partaking in any event involving alcohol this evening.
And speaking of banks, my poor bank, WaMu is gone. Makes me sad as it was a good bank and a local one at that. But Chase is alright. I’m not too worried about them. And if they cause problems, hello B of A.
Hurrah hump day is over!

I just want to clarify that I hate the phrase “hump day” but since I’m working this week, I find the usage appropriate. I’ve been working for my friend K doing some legal work that involves manual labor. My back and knees aren’t happy as the labor involves lifting super heavy boxes, but thankfully that part of the job ends tomorrow. The pay is great, but again, the commute sucks. Oh well, that’s life in the city I chose to live in.
In other news, I’m sad that one of my favorite blogs, Girl Dates London, won’t be returning.
Thankfully there are loads of others to read.
And, I’m still questioning P’s non-responsiveness. Grr.
Rejected and alone
August 15, 2008 at 4:20 pm | In Life | 7 CommentsTags: boys, Friends, work
Ugh. I’m so sick of my life. I’m sick of not having a job. And I’m sick of being single. I’m sick of my roommate not being overly friendly. And horror of horrors, I’m a little sick of the 90 degree weather. Which is everyday of my life. I guess coming from the Northwest, I wouldn’t mind a little gray sky here and there.
I cannot find a job. The regular temp agencies won’t touch me. The legal temp agencies are useless. The resumes I send out in large quantities every day must be going unnoticed because I never get a letter of rejection or anything. The bright spot in the day was being told I was rejected over the phone by a law firm. That was pleasant.
The roommate situation is ok. She’s not here alot so that’s a good thing I guess. But she’s not trying to get to know me at all. Her boyfriend is much more outgoing and friendly. And then she quipped last night that she loves meeting new people and is so outgoing. Really? Because I have no evidence of that. I don’t know if she doesn’t like me or what. The other day I got up and she was downstairs watching tv. And by the time I had brushed my teeth, she was already upstairs in her room where she stayed most of the day. Which does free up the tv for me, but I don’t know. I guess I expected we’d at least talk some more and get to know each other better. Like I said, her boyfriend makes much more of an effort than she does.
Social calendar has been a bit dead this week. I’ve hung out with my cousin almost every day so that’s been great. Her sons are just too adorable for words so I love hanging out there.
I did go to the Junior League meeting/orientation on Wednesday night and met some really nice girls. And I joined today. It’s a big time commitment but I figure the positives that come from joining outweigh the heavy time commitment that I just made.
And after that I met up with my friend S. He’s P’s friend and my friend from high school. He’s a great guy. Super outgoing, loves to party and is always up for hanging out. The thing is, I sense a bit of him liking me. Which is so not ever going to happen. He’s not my type and as aforementioned, parties but wayyyy too much. And he’s Asian. Not that there’s anything wrong with Asian guys, just not my type. Unlike P who is definitely my type. And as for P, he’s still out of town. Which sucks because I really, really want to hang out with him and just get to know him better.
As for the weekend, doesn’t look like I will be doing anything. Except watching the Olympics and thinking about how much of a loser I am. Yes, I know that is not a good attitude to have. But it just seems like there’s more and more evidence of that daily. And by loser, I mean a lawyer-loser.
Bo-ring

Not much is going on. The weekend was pretty low-key. I stayed at my cousin’s both nights, drank some beer and watched the Olympics. Went shopping on Saturday and I’m 99% sure I saw the guy from Gilmore Girls–Dean, Rory’s first boyfriend. Sunday I hung out with the roommate and her ever-present boyfriend and we watched a movie and ate pizza. Then I got frozen yogurt. It’s so yummy.
Still unemployed and it really sucks. I’m so low on money and don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything I can think of and nothing is happening. I may have to get a job at Starbucks or something just to bring in some cash. Which I’m not saying I’m above, but I really need a job in the legal field. It’s not just good to switch like that. Ugh. I’m just wondering what in the heck God is doing here…
Oh and I’m watching the Olympics non-stop. Go Team USA! Michael Phelps is amazing!!
Weekend of grease

This weekend has been fun. Yesterday I ended up going to my cousin’s school and it wasn’t so bad. Then I got my hair done and it looks amazing. SOOO much better than it looked before. It actually is blonde now, not yellowish blonde. Then I just sat by my pool, caught some rays, and got ready to go out.
My friend K picked me up and we headed out for a night on the town. We met up with my friend S who I hadn’t seen since high school. We corresponded for a couple of years after high school when I was in college and he was in the navy. Then we lost touch and re-connected on the Book of Face. He’s been helpful in giving me advice on living here so it’s been nice. And it’s fun that we get to hang out again. He attended my high school reunion and gave me the dirt on that. His friend P came out and joined us and so the four of us just hung out. We went to three bars, drank, watched people dance and just had fun. After we closed the bar, we headed to Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles. Yep, it exists. And it’s goooooooooooooooooood people. I just had chicken but it was so great. And the biscuit was amazing. And this was at 3am when I was coming out of my alcoholic haze mind you. It was fun.
P is cool. He’s about 4 years older than me and does a job to make a living while he pursues his dream of producing shows. He was witty, funny, easy to talk to, cute and just fun. I know myself and since I’m bored and don’t really have anyone else to focus on, I’m sure I’ll become infatuated with him. *sigh. It’s not a good scene, but pretty much inevitable.
We got home so late that my day has been pretty useless. I talked to friends and sat outside in the sweltering heat. Tonight my roommate and I went to church and it was pretty cool. I’ll probably go back… After church, I went to In-n-Out Burger and it was great. So good. But now I feel sick.
Here’s to hoping that this week brings good news on the job front. And maybe with P?
Weekend update
July 19, 2008 at 4:46 pm | In Life, Major City | 2 CommentsTags: boys, family, Friends, work
Hello! I am alive. I haven’t posted this week, I know. But I’ve been keeping busy learning my way around the neighborhood and hanging with my cousins.
Monday– I did some shopping and met up with my cousin. Then I went back to her house and we had dinner and played with her sons.
Tuesday– we all went to the beach which was great. I got sunburnt but it was awesome seeing the ocean. It is so spectacular. It really takes your breath away. There were surfers in the water the entire time we were there who never got any waves, but they just sat and waited. I definitely do not have that kind of patience. I think it’s pretty cool that there are people willing to just hang out in the ocean for hours at a time. After the beach we headed back to my pool and swam for awhile. Then we had margaritas and Mexican cuisine for dinner. Awesome.
Wednesday– I met up with a fellow law school alum and we just chatted over coffee for a few hours. He’s a pretty cool guy. Works for the police department. Which is a pretty scary job considering where I live… After we parted ways I drove around and ended up at the beach but just drove around. I was pretty tired by that point and I had to drive home which took a long time. Traffic here is crazy. Never stops. Ever.
Thursday– I had my job interview. It went ok. I didn’t get the job which is perfectly fine with me. I didn’t want it. It’s doing civil litigation. Basically defending insurance companies and stores who get sued for being negligent. It is not the kind of work I could do in good conscience. I wasn’t impressed by the guy interviewing me or the firm itself. And the location is not where I wanted to be either. So I was relieved I didn’t get the job. On the other hand, a salary and a job is the goal here, so it would have been ok. But this way I can focus on getting the job I want. After that, I went shopping and had dinner with my cousins.
Friday– I went to a legal temp agency who promised to let me know if work comes up. Not holding my breath, but I am trying to be optimistic. I met up with my cousin at the mall and we did some shopping. I need to stay away from the stores but it’s so great because they have stores here that we didn’t have in Rainy City. For example? Zara. Love that place. But I wasn’t in the mood to try clothes on by the time I got there, so I left. I went over to my cousin’s house later and hung out with her nanny. My cousin and her husband were at an event so their nanny, P, and I just talked and drank some vodka. Always a good way to spend a Friday night.
She is really nice and intelligent, and I just like talking to her.
Today–I hit up the gym and then returned a few dozen phone calls. One of those was to Vegas boy. We finally talked. We’ve been texting on and off for a while but hadn’t spoken on the phone since I was in Vegas. He’s a nice guy. Pretty young, but fairly mature and seems to have his stuff together. He lives in another city 2 hours away from where I am, so I’m not sure how often we’ll see each other or if we will. And I’m not sure I want to? I just don’t want to make out with the kid and have that be it. I’m not looking for that. We spoke for a while and the conversation was flowing, so it was good. But I’m not sure where this could go. He’s in the Marines and in school training right now, so he’s busy busy busy, and I’m just settling in and looking for a job, etc. I’m not sure that it could go anywhere. But we could just be friends, which would be great.
Anyways, I’m off to meet a blogger tonight. I’ve only recently started reading her blog and she seems pretty cool. And I need to meet new friends. Tomorrow I’m meeting up with my friend K who I met while taking the bar exam. I’m excited to see her.
So, that’s my update for y’all…
Work

So tomorrow is my last day at the temp job. Which is partly good because I’m quite tired of the task, but also partly bad because no more money will be coming in. At least for now. And I won’t see my friends on a daily basis. Working only with Glasses hasn’t been all bad. She’s not as, um, annoying, as she was when the others are around. Plus it’s nice to have girl talk.
As for Jenner? No word yet. I guess the 3 day rule may be in effect?
Better days
April 24, 2008 at 12:35 pm | In Life | 2 CommentsTags: boys, work
Ok so I’m at work and since we finished the project, they asked us back, but only 2 of us. And that would be me and Glasses. Joy huh? Jenner is gone
But I did run into him this morning and we were walking together, laughing, and if I do say so myself, flirting! When I left to go to lunch, he was still here and I said goodbye to Music Man and to Jenner, I just said “See ya later Jenner” to which he smiled and said, “Yep”. So I guess thats good? I know I’m over-analyzing this thing to death, but I can’t help it. I’m a lawyer, it’s what we do. And I really, really like him. First time in awhile I’ve liked someone this much. So the plan is to call him Saturday with news of what’s going on. Now I just have to figure what that is…
In other news…I’ve reconnected with 2 good guy friends who are both in Rainy City. And I had lunch with a former co-worker today. This city isn’t so bad and now that I’m getting ready to move, I’ve been in contact with these people and more. It’s strange. Plus the whole thing with Jenner. Ugh.
Oh and it’s freezing outside today!! I spoke to my friend J. in NYC and she was at the beach today. Meanwhile I just froze to death outside in the 40 degree weather and high winds. Life is not fair sometimes people!
