Give me chastity and continence-but not yet...(Saint Augustine)
Well, well, well life is indeed a strange and un-marked path. Against all odds I am now gainfully employed, at least for the next 12 weeks (unless I screw up), and here is the kicker: I am still being considered for another gig!!! and her Oneness now owes me several days of hard labor. Things are looking up, just as I was staring at the bottom of the barrel (wondering what was hidden under the last layer) here I am reporting for duty on Monday in heels and 'nice pants' the new DRAGON LADY of my old workplace, different division, but nonetheless in a position to make my old tormentors' lives hell (yay). Revenge is a sweet temptation and I wonder if I'll give in (duh), but oh how good it is.
So I had this interview that I thought went kind of badly. I was 10 minutes late due to being stuck on the B train for 15 minutes and then another 10 waiting to get through security. During the interview I suddenly realized I was chewing gum (!) and then my mind went blank when they asked if I had any questions (ugh). But 2 hours later they called me and offered me the gig for more money than I had originally requested (!) All very strange, but what the hell, I am a crack ho' so sure I took it. Meanwhile the interview I had the day before, and which seemed to go better, has only yielded a nice note. So I have no idea if they will meet my requirements, but I can't afford to wait, so here I am EMPLOYED!!!!
After spending a year getting up super early every morning, I now find myself not being able to open my eyes before 9:00!!! Go figure! So now I am practicing, figure I have to get up at 6:30 in order to walk to Midtown and be there at 8:45, as I won't be taking any chances with the train again (yikes). So no partying this weekend, no staying up late, no nothing.
Her Oneness had a lovely Thxgiving with her 'friends' and family such as it is (paid to come) and her new love interest, who seems to actually be somewhat normal. We don't think it even remotely possible that she can keep up the 'nice girl' act she is pulling, as it is more than obvious how she is straining to not bark out orders to the minions, in front of her. Meanwhile she has decided to keep P for the moment and he is very grateful, but I caution him to get too cushy again. She is vicious and vindictive so who knows what she will do once her new girlfriend fires her, which she will do once she sees how inane and ridiculous she is (bbrrrr). I have already written 6 chapters of my 'revenge on the megabitch' book and will soon be looking for a publisher, and if not I'll just blog it. All the juicy details and all the horrors rolled into one (!)
It is winter again and I managed to ignore TXgivin' again and didn't even have to go away! Spent 3 days with my precious Charlie just lounging, eating 'Asian food' (Chinese, Pan-Asian, and Thai) and watching DVDs and one 'real' movie. Yes I agreed to see Alexander much against my better judgment, and it was truly awful. Not even campy or anything but really really really bad. It is truly amazing that anyone could actually spend 150 million $ on this drivel. I took 2 naps, but still felt like it was 6 hours long. My baby owes me big time now and I will be cashing in, in a few years.... (he will have to take care of me on my dotage).
Right now life is good and I feel happy, the straight and narrow has me falling off the edges here and there but basically things are good. Now if I could only change my terrible luck at Poker...
