life of a temp.

i'm currently sitting in the fairfax library, using the wireless internet to write this. and yes i do know that it is 2:50pm on a week day afternoon. this is one of the side effects of working for a temp agency... sometimes they don't have work for you!

so i sit here like the millions of other unemployed job seekers hoping that soon it will be my time to find a full time job. 

and with that, i must return to what seems to be an endless job search. 

goodnight and good luck ;)

bahhhh.

you know what i hate? when people honk at you thinking you're going to do something stupid but really you know better than to continue to pull out as someone is driving by. i'm not an idiot people. this is the second time in the past week that other drivers have questioned my ability to make smart choices!

on a completely different note, why is it that more people compliment my hair when i don't wash it....hmmm.

ps happy first day of campers at SQUANTO!!!

i'm eating string cheese.

around 4:30p every day i eat my afternoon snack. today (like the rest of the week) it just happens to be stirng cheese. i really love it. i think it might be my favorite snack i've brought with me to work. but let's be honest here, i love cheese in general. i could eat it all day all the time. in the words of my roommate kathryn, yumo.

HA!

on my run this morning i saw 8 slugs/snails. i'm actually not sure what they are. they look slimy like slugs, but they have a shell like a snail. maybe they're just snails. ha.

also on my run, i went past a window with a massive dog sitting in it. and when it barked (very loudly) at me, i jumped and screamed. but it was kind of a wimpy scream. i'll have to demonstrate it sometime. ha.

now i have a question to propose to the blogging world...what songs should i add to my new work mix??

it's a cloudy friday.

it's one of those days where you look outside and you think it could down pour at any moment.
i kind of hope it does.

but, this weather is very appropriate for the friday morning i've been having so far...

so, i get up this morning at 5:20. a little early, but i just joined a gym so that i can swim. (my knees have not been doing so great lately.) i'm driving along trying to find the 24 hour fitness in west hollywood. i can't really find it, but it's okay because i've got my harry potter 6 on cd in my car to listen to. life is still good. so i finally find it and realize that there's no parking lot. boo. after learning that it costs about $5 to park in the parking structure, i decide to park on the street. i see that the spot i need to parallel park in, is pretty big. sweet. i pay my '20 minutes per quarter' and head in to swim. after some trouble actually finding the pool, which was outside, i start my swim. it felt good to be back in the pool. i finish my work out and head back to my car to find this note:

"you took up two spots asshole -- someone got mad so they keyed your car"
*directly quoted, sorry for the language.

i quickly examine my car to see where the damage was. fortunatley i didn't find it to be to alarming. but still, who would write a note that like! i didn't even know i was taking up two spots! oh man, really!? i get in my car and as i'm driving away, pretty upset, maybe even crying a little... i think to myself "i hate LA."

HA. that was my morning.

nor cal!

this past weekend a bunch of us got to go up to san jose for our friend justin's graduation! it was so fun to meet his friends & family, and to hang out in a HOUSE. i love meeting new people. the Spencer's (who hosted the party) are from south africa. so amazing to talk with them.

and on sunday i got to see sam sam!!! who i hadn't seen since camp last year. so great. we went to san francisco for the day and had an awesome time. we saw seals, crazy people dressed in silver, drunk people on a boat, bakers baking bread at Boudins (and we ended up having lunch with a girl who worked there bc she wanted us to be able to use her 50% off discount!). it was a great day.

i would love to post pictures from this weekend, but alas, i forgot my camera.

Friends!

last night ryan, kathryn, kathleen, ben and I all hung out. yay. 

just an old picture of kathryn and i celebrating 6 months in California with patron on ice!!
