I am really thirsty. 

I have a 1.5 liter bottle of Aquafina sitting by my feet.

I can’t get it open. I have BLISTERS on my palm from trying. I cut off the ring around the bottom with a pocket knife. No avail. It seems a cap much to small for it was forced on to it by some machine much stronger than I.

I am getting ready to jab my knife in the side, to suck out the watery goodness.

And oh yeah. It was on sale for 10/$10.

So I have ten of these.

And they are all the same.

Oh yeah. And I’m drunk in bed by 11pm because I am a stupid girl who hasn’t had a Friday night off in over 18 months. So I started drinking at 4pm, and completely missed the music circle my friends were having at their loft tonight. But I don’t care. Cause my bed is amazing and that sounds like a bunch of hippie shit anyway. And I have my cats. And Dan Akroyd.

I just found a bottle of Dan Akroyd brand chardonnay… signed by Dan Akroyd.

I really, really want to drink this.

Hired assassin. (There are mice upstairs; Max’s services have been requested. She hasn’t been outside in 7 years, so I let her practice with a cricket. Her reflexes are still sharp, but as most 14-year old cats, her stamina is…weak.)

Just baked chocolate chip cookies to celebrate registering for the last two classes I will ever take.

I don’t think my sexy Yeti costume is going to work out.

And oh yeah, there’s a squirrel stuck in our ceiling, so that’s been keeping me up at night.

There’s a very real chance that I might be getting a full-time, pretty real job.

I thought I was having a horrible interview: I was 10 minutes late, they made me wait 90 minutes, and I was freezing so I was shaking through the whole thing.

But after a long 30-minutes, he asked me my salary requirements and told me he’d call me in a couple days to set up a meeting.

The problem is, I currently have a job where I work roughly 30 hours a week with people I LOVE. And I make terrific money. So I’d be working more hours, but be making just a little bit more money. BUT- I’d have an entire staff underneath me, I’d be working for a company that I genuinely love, and would be doing something that is closely alligned with my own morales and principles. AND I wouldn’t have to serve tables. Well, not like I do now anyway.

I know it’s too early to really be thinking about this- I haven’t been offered the job yet. I also know that with so many of my friends struggling to find work I should feel so priveleged to even have one great job. And I do.

But as much as I want the job offer, if I don’t get it, I might be okay with not having to make this decision.
