Frustrating things are frustrating

So, I am unemployed. This sucks. At first it was kinda ok, being able to sleep in, hang out all day without bothering to put on pants, etc. But now I am bored, poor, and getting anxious.

I have had two interviews with an Apple store and was supposed to have a final one this week, but I got a call from the store and their head manager is now out of town for the next few days so I don't get to interview again until next week sometime. I understand this isn't the worst thing in the world, but going yet another week without working is not the outlook I was hoping for following my previous interview going so remarkably well.

Also, I have a friend who works at New World Stages. They have 5 stages and often rent them out to companies for whatever they need them for. Well, they were short a porter to babysit the event they had going on this Sunday. They called me to come in and do it because they know me through Jana. I readily jumped on this chance, especially seeing as how it was for 11 hours and they pay double time after 8 hours. I got the call this morning that the event was cancelled.

I feel like the world is dangling something shiny and profitable in front of my face just to snatch it away at the last second. I not only need the money, but I need something to do, a reason to put on pants. Hopefully I will get to interview with Apple early next week and all will be ok and I will get the job. Otherwise, I have no idea what I am going to do.

  1. I feel your pain Trey!

    Or more accurately, I'm about to. I'm going to be unemployed in 7 days and shipping myself out to Cali.

    Hang in there. Keep looking. Something will turn up :)
