The Most Boring Girl Alive January 17, 2010

So, I lost my job on Friday.

What a way to start a blog post! But it’s the truth. I won’t go into detail about how this came to happen, or even say where I used to work. I believe in discretion, and sometimes, tact. I would like to get hired again, and I don’t want a future employer googling my name only to find me spewing spite about my previous job. I officially resigned, so there’s no bad blood there. What this does mean is that I can feel the cold fingers of panic slowly creeping up my spine. I am determined to keep them at bay this weekend by sleeping, cleaning, doing homework and looking for a new job.

In other news, I spent 45 minutes on the phone trying to get my internet to work. It was more like 20 minutes to be honest, my roommate and I talked to the customer service man in shifts. If he noticed the difference in our voices (the very distinct difference) he never let on. I like to say that it was me who solved the problem, as it was me who was on the phone when he said “well now looks like everything should be working now!” and my roommate was busy being useless in the shower. Therefore, I am the hero.

Have I mentionned how boring it is to be unemployed? That phone call was the highlight of my day. Tonight, my roommate went out with her boyfriend. I stayed in the apartment and did laundry. Then I folded the laundry. Then I unpacked some of my boxes and put my books in the shelves. I finished a book, and watched a movie. I briefly considered doing homework. I didn’t even leave my apartment today. I made a sad attempt to find another job, but of course it’s the weekend and every office is closed and every manager has a day off. Monday is now officially my Action Day.

Wish me luck.

Hello World January 15, 2010

Okay, time to get this thing started. I signed up for this blog before the new year, and now my lack of posts is just getting pathetic.

So, about me. I’m in my second year of university. I am a stereotypical poor student with bills to pay. I’m a creative writing major, so I like to think that I’m pretty good at writing. I live in a rad apartment with my best friend- an apartment still in the awkward “unpacking” phase. I should be working on homework instead of working on my blog, but like every other student I will do anything to get out of doing homework. Except unpack. I used to work at a bookstore, so my floor is covered with books waiting to be put onto my bookshelf. They’ve been waiting for a while. I read a lot but I write more. Mostly for school, which is a habit that I should break. I like to think that I’m not boring, but my day-to-day activities are pretty mundane. I go to school, go to work, do homework, and sometimes briefly join the outside world for something other than school or work.

And now, I blog.
