Today's Soundtrack: It's a silly time to learn to swim, when you start to drown
I like to drink hot water with floating tea leaves. Green tea leaves, to be exact.
It’s my new thing. Right after a meal, I boil some water and sprinkle some green tea leaves on there. My brand boasts that it’s the best ‘green tea in the world’. Since I only have the powdered green tea at the sushi restaurants to compare it to, I’d say it’s pretty good.
It’s already March, but the snow is still a constant visitor and this weekend, I started hating it. If I see white flakes covering my driveway again, I’m going to scream. I can’t take it, my back can’t take it, and my car’s about to die from it! I love it when the weather changes, and usually welcome the first snow-fall with open arms, but after months of snow build-up, I'm ready for spring. I can't wait for t-shirt weather.
So it’s three months into 2005, and I’m still job hunting. The part-time gig at the insurance company is not that bad; I get to work in a loft-style office, come in when I want to and the people are friendly enough. This other girl I work with, the other part-timer, is actually quieter than myself, she loves to write but more non-fiction, scientific stuff. She confessed to me last week that she’s a lead guitarist for a popular heavy metal band in the city. Pretty crazy. After seeing her promo shots on her band websites, I just can’t look at her the same way! She wants me to check out one of their shows, but I had to confess that my music preference revolves around the lo-fi stuff: indie pop, rock, soul etc. She says it’ll be a growing experience for me. LOL.
Anyway, about the job hunt, pretty soon, I’m going to need some savings, and a part-time job won’t give me that. I feel like I should be an expert in the art of the Interview by now, but unfortunately, I just don’t excel in that area. I try to be as bubbly as I can, sell my skill set with a smile and a high-pitch voice (I know what you're thinking, "Michelle's voice? high-pitch? Git outta here!) but it’s hard to remain excited when the interviewer’s a flake and the job just doesn’t interest me. What I would really like is an employer that I can say, listen man, I just need a full-time job for a year, so I can save up some money and go to school the following year. Think I’ll find a winner?
Up next: a journal entry with meat, I mean a meaty journal entry...ah, you know what I mean. I just want to write something else that doesn't revolve around the weather and finding employment.
