After much thought about what I would NOT want to do, and how I want to be Stacy London and Clinton Kelly when I grow up, I chose some places where I might really enjoy working. I pulled up my beautimous resume that a dear friend helped me create and printed several copies, and I went online and downloaded applications whereever possible. Then, I dug around in the closet and chose something casual yet smart, slapped on my face, and got in the car.
(side note: my big plan of looking for a job almost got derailed at doggie day care, when i dropped off my Mollie puppy and she got the saddest look on her face, huddled in on herself, tucked her tail between her legs, and wandered around sadly. it hurt mummie's heart so bad that the damn dog got two new toys when I picked her up, one of which had the nice happy price tag of $12 on it and will probably take her all of 3.5 nanoseconds to destroy when she gets her mind set on it. gawd i'm such a fucking sucker. also, do check out the link to the web page for the doggie day care i trust with my baby. who would have thunk that such shit existed, and that people would spend their hard earned money on doggie day care. doggie day care is full of the awesome so shut up already, i have no children so i know you gon' let me spoil mah damn dog. i am such a fucking sucker for that miss baby o' mine.)
I digress.
So, I went and put in some job applications.
I have two interviews!
I could totally squee myself to death, I am so excited.
I wish I felt comfortable saying more, but I don't want to jinx it.
Let's just say that you all inspired me. I went out on a limb and applied for jobs in fashion retail, because y'all have all kind of gone with the theme of "do what you love" and I love shopping and clothes and shoes and stuff. Also, Sunshine told me to try and find a way to monetize what I love, and Sunshine? Is smart, yo. And hasn't given me bad advice yet. Besides, what's the worst that can happen? I get rejected? Like that hasn't happened to me dozens of millions of times in my life. It never feels good, but after so many years of it I kind of get to the point where it isn't the end of the world if it happens.
So, fling glitter and eat bacon and make your unicorns poop cupcakes because I could use the good juju, if for no other reason than to keep me calm-ish.
baaaaaahhhhhhh!
Eating glitter, flinging bacon and letting my unicorn out of its gilded cage just for you, Cindy! Best of luck ...
ReplyDeleteI love you too! And thank you
Delete*flings glitter* *eats bacon* *feeds bacon to a unicorn* You can totally rock those interviews, girl! I am super proud of you for taking that step!
ReplyDeleteAlso I wish we could afford doggie daycare but my husband says I spoil our dogs enough as it is (which is probably true).
So what if your dogs are spoiled? When our Mollie first came home with us, we were told that we were supposed to spoil our dog. We might have taken it to an extreme, but what the hell.
DeleteMy unicorn is pooping glitter frosted bacon cupcakes for you, lady. Also, if I win the lottery, I am totally hiring you to be my Clinton and Stacy, because I need a style makeover.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to win the lottery. We can totally work out a style makeover on a budget. (How do you think I can afford to wear the labels I wear? Clearance racks, consignment stores, and yoox.com put great style within affordable reach!)
DeleteI am so flinging buckets of glitter at you right now, Cindy! I am hoping and praying hard you get one of those jobs!! You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteSide note: I know how hard it is to leave the puppy dogs =(
I hope I get one of these jobs also. I would love to work in fashion (style), it is something I love. Thank you for the glitter flinging and the prayers!
DeleteThis? Sounds amazing. Good freaking luck, sweetness. Also, if I ever get down you way, maybe you could dress me. Or something.
ReplyDeleteI would totally love to shop with you! Partly because I love to shop, especially with other people's money, but even more importantly--because oh the fun we would have!
